Mail.app reset itself this morning.

[fowler.]

I tried waking my computer this morning, but got nothing. Did a hard restart and now none of my IMAP accounts are loading. Check the preferences, and not a word about any of those accounts.

Before I add them again, I wanted to see if anyone has had this problem before.

Are you logged in under the same user account?

Just so we all understand, Mail launches but you don't see any of your accounts listed on the left or in Mail preferences?

 

[fowler.]

Are you logged in under the same user account?

Yes.

And yeah, Mail.app works fine besides the fact that all my Imap accounts are gone.

Any chance you're running Time Machine? If so, try restoring ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to sometime from yesterday evening or earlier. This should restore the account configurations and settings without you having to set it all up again.

 

[fowler.]

I am. I just re-added the accounts and everything seems to be okay. Thankfully they were all IMAP, so nothing was lost.

But I might experiment with Time Machine and see what happens.
