[QUOTE="Mannheim62, post: 1834777, member: 360622"] Are there any situations whereby a clean install is better than an upgrade? I ask this because I did clean install on my MBP without issue; but my MBP doesn't have all the files on it that my iMac has. So this was relatively straight forward. Next on the list is my iMac. What worries me the most are the mail boxes I've created that are stored "On my Mac" as opposed to iCloud. If I did a clean install of Catalina on my iMac I know I can import/restore all of my Documents from my Time Machine Back Up but can I do the same with the mail folders? If there's anything you think I'm missing please feel free to let me know. Any advise and help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike [/QUOTE]
