Hi Ronda It shows a very long list of things - some things I spotted that don't appear in your list:
.OfflineCache .dat00f3.001 .identity All backed up - give your idea a go? By the way I tried to find the file using Neil's tip in finder and finding invisible files - it didn't turn up though (found a bunch of other things). The search string in terminal did find the file: "/Users/admin/Library/Mail/Mac-adam.lippiatt/.mboxCache.plist" I suppose I stay 'admin' forever now?
