Hi John, Thanks for this. It sounds complicated, though. Would an alternative be to simply restore my old Mac from the backup? I made the backup on Monday, so about the only thing that would be different would be the personal mailboxes I deleted. I’ve never had to restore from a time-machine backup though, so I don’t have much of an idea about how it works. Cheers, Donna
