How to get Mail email from external HDD?

[slffl]

So I was able to copy the /Library/Mail folder from a crashed HDD (hooked up via external USB enclosure) onto a new one in the same location. I thought if I did this that when I launched mail it would open and act just like it did on the crashed HDD.

What am I missing? What else do I need to copy for it to do this?

Thanks.

You might need com.apple.mail.plist from the Preferences folder too. Is it the same version of Mail that you're using?

That worked perfectly! Thanks!
