If you have enough space on the external disk, I'd try using Carbon
Copy Cloner to make a duplicate copy of your hard drive. This copy
will have ev erything that is on your existing system and may even be
bootable.

If you backup your home directory, your settings, preferences, and

using pop to get your mail, it's still on the server, and backup
of the home directory won't get them. However, they will still be
on the server for you to retrieve later. Imap leaves messages on
the server, which is a real problem if you have low quotas. But,
if you have them set to pop, then, yes, they're in your home dir a
few levels down, so be sure you get the *whole* home directory,
not just the top level.
