The easiest way to do a clean install is to use Tiger's Migration Assistant to import everything from an external Firewire drive or attached computer in Firewire mode. I've found it works almost flawlessly and it will preserve all your account info, filters, etc.. For just Mail I'd delete the new folder and Mail's Preference file then just drag your old Mail folder from the CD into Library. You may have to re-enter the account info but your emails and their folders should open OK. -------------- Roger Houghton Bath, Somerset [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================== -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:mac-uk@mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
