For insurance, be ready to use the recent, excellent advice near the end of this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/g3-5-list/t/aabee6132bfc9e3e?hl=en I have twice moved my mailboxes and User library plists this way. I have not gone after the filters plist. And if you end up moving everything manually, you may want to fetch your browser bookmarks in your Library Preferences.
