If you can see your messages and drag your folders to the Finder, why can't you look at your Address Book? It is all part of the same database. What happens when you try to select the address book view? Incidentally, creating a new identity is the way to go if you can't get the old one fixed, and dragging the messages folder by folder is a good way to transfer the messages. Watch out, subfolders do not get copied; every folder or subfolder has to be individually dragged. That reminds me...I wrote a script a while back I forgot to post ANYWHERE! It is called, Save Folders to Desktop. It pops up a list of your folders, lets you pick one or more, and then saves the folder to the desktop (simulating what happens when you drag it), appending the date to the folder name to name the resulting file, e.g., "Deborah20020306". This provides a sort of dated archiving method. I have a second version of the script that will let you specify a number of days and will archive only messages older than that number of days. This takes a lot longer to run because it must first select the messages by date, then move them to a temporary folder, archive that temporary folder, and then move the messages back again. (It could be modified to just leave them in the temp folder, of course, once archived, or to delete them--I don't quite trust it that much yet.) This version is called "Archive Folders".
