Backing up Mail email settings?

[kat.hayes]

I want to back up my settings to download email from Mail so I can reformat my Mac and reinstall.

1. Is this all contained inside of the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences
2. What do I need to copy to get all of my mail?

Thanks.

There is a thread here from yesterday where we were discussing the same thing. Might help you out.
