[X4U] I've lost contact with my mail! Import, export, prefs and so much more I should be shot

[Milton van der Veen]

Hi  Paula,

You might want to check if you can find "Migration Assistant" in your  
Utilities folder. With that application you can move your old User  
folder and certain applications over to the new Tiger account and it  
will include all the settings from before.

Mail also has an "Import Mailboxes" menu item that might be of help  
to you too.

Hope this helps. Cheers -- nice to see you here again,

Milton
