Mail OSX Help!!! (1 Viewer)

AAAAAHHH!
My Mail for OSX crashed, and deleted everything
I've imported my mails from the library but is there any way to recover all the account settings????

Are you running norton filesaver? if so you could try 'recover' yr files. they might be still hanging round on yr hard disk somewhere,
if not i'd get on to mac asap.

edit: acctually shit i read that wrong dunno what you should do. sorry.

Just your account settings...? All you really need is your incoming and outgoing mail server names. (and your e-mail address but I presume you know that...)

Or have you lost your Rules and sigs too? Your prefs are usually stored in
Hard disk>users>Yourusername>Library>Preferences in an xml file probably called something like com.apple.mail.plist

They could also be stored in hard disk>Library>Preferences
See if there are old versions of that file lying around

If there aren't you might be able to recover deleted files with
something like VirtualLab: http://www.binarybiz.com/vlab/mac.php
Download the demo version and play around with it..

hmmm, pre OSX I could have answered that.
As soon as you get it sorted, create a text file with all your info in it. I know that's zero help right now.
