Hi Folks,

I'm about to write some tutorials that I've been procrastinating on for quite a while. In order to write the tutorials I need to take Mail back to a fresh installed state. In other words I want it to be like I never opened mail before or setup accounts with in it.

I know with Thunderbird on Linux or Windows you just drop it's user directory /home/<user name>/.thunderbird. I'm hoping mail is just as easy?? Tell me it is please.

Thanks,
Dan

PS: No need to warn me about this deleting all my mails, all my accounts are IMAP.

If you really wanted to be sure you could reinstall it from the System disks.

If you wanted to just install Mail alone then try this - Download Pacifist for Mac - Install individual files from .pkg installers and more. MacUpdate Mac Compression Software Downloads - used it on Tiger but have not tried it on Leopard
