import mail from existing user to new user on same mac

[Europe calling]

Hi,

I want to import all mailboxes (+account settings) from an existing user to a new user on the same mac (running 10.3.9)
I need a fresh account for the same person due to some unexplained crashes.
If i want to do that however and point out the folder to import from, i can't access that folder because it is locked to the 'old' account.

How can i do this?

As it turns out you have to copy the following:

1. Users/user/Library/Mail

2. Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist


Here is a more detailed approach.
