To resolve an email problem I was having, I needed to delete the account and re-add it. Unfortunately, deleting the account trashed all the files I wanted to keep.

However: I have a full hard-disk backup from before I deleted the account, and if I knew where the email files were kept, I could copy them from the backup.

So: anybody know where these files are kept on disk?

Have a look in Home Folder>Library>Mail, but you'll probably have to dig down through various folders to find what you want.

Yeah, I found that out eventually ...

.. but it does me no good. In my old age, I'm so obsessed with the idea of not losing data that I have Carbon Copy Cloner keeping my backup system disk in sync with my primary disk - so of course my emails that disappeared on the primary have also disappeared on the backup.

Duh ... (face palm)
