Hi, Yes, it will. Installing from scratch just avoids any weirdness that may or may not happen, but it probably won't happen. I'm just cautious about that myself. You can, however, save the e-mails to a separate file for import later after installation.
1) Select the messages you would like to save. 2) Go to File>Save As 3) Select where you would like to save it, and which format. If you leave it as RFT (Rich Text Format), it will keep the formatting of the messages visible when importing them into another application. That's it. Keep in mind that Mail will use the first subject of a selected mesage as the file name, but this can be chaned of course. Good luck with your installation, May! :) Regards, Nic Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: [email protected] AIM: cincinster yahoo Messenger: cin368 Facebook Profile My Twitter On Oct 20, 2009, at 5:59 PM, May McDonald wrote: > > If I install from scratch doesn't that errase my email settings as > well?
