If nothing else, you could do it manually. Copy the Library/Mail folder 
(and everything in it) to the ~/Library/Mail folder under your home 
directory. Similarly, the Library/Preferences folder should have a copy 
of all your preferences at the time of your last clone.

You ought to upgrade to 10.2.8 (at least) while you're at it.
