Hi there!

I'm planning to do a clean install of Lion, which shouldn't be too problematic as I have few applications worth keeping and keep most of my data on an external HDD. However, I have a few questions regarding the process.

Bootcamp:
Will this erase/corrupt my current bootcamp partition?

iTunes
I keep my iTunes library on an external HDD, so if I make that the target location of my iTunes media folder on Lion, will iTunes import all my data, and thus, be identical to my Snow Leopard library?

Mail
Is there a way to back up my emails and import them to Mail on Lion? Adding adresses again shouldn't be an issue, but I don't want to lose my old emails.

Chrome
I realise this isn't directly linked to Lion, but is it possible to backup chrome password data and import it to a fresh Chrome on Lion?

Any help would be much appreciated as I hope to upgrade to Lion asap.
