I am in the process of doing a clean install but am going to take some precautionary measures just in case. I have a external HD that I will put all my files etc. but the most important things are my address book contacts and my mailboxes. So I archived all my mailboxes so their in the .mbox format then went to another account to try and import them. At first the permissions were wrong so I set them as Read & Write for all users and Admins etc. I tried again it started to work but then a dialog came up saying "No valid mbox files were found". So what can I do to prepare for this. Also to prepare for the movement of address book .vfiles?

Thanks in advance,
