How to get Apple Mail to work after HD change?

I just upgraded my HD from a 100GB to a 200GB 😀 and formated the drive and installed a fresh OSX.

I saved my library folder and copied my old "Mail" folder to my new library folder.

When I started up Mail, it wanted me to set up an email account. I don't want it to do that. I want it to see the 5 old accounts I had in there from my old HD.

Any way to do this? 😕
 
You probably have to find mail's .plist file (preference file) from your backup. I believe it is in User-Library-Preferences (or something like that.) Close mail, replace the plist file with your backed up one, and restart mail. That should work.
