Restore Mail to original state

Truffy · Jan 4, 2013, 01:07 PM

I had Mail set up pretty well with POP...until I used an auto-configurator (groan) for my ISP's mail. It completely removed all my accounts in place of its own.

The mailbox files are saved in the Library (phew!), but there are hundreds of them.

Is it possible to rollback Mail to the previous configuration? (I don't care about the ISP addition).

What exactly do you mean by hundreds of mailbox files ? - do you mean folders or emails or something else ?

I think that they must be files

Ah sorry I misunderstood what you are saying. How do you know it has saved all your files to the library? I thought you were talking about in the Mail App itself, rather than the Library.
