[QUOTE="dannyboy22, post: 1951926, member: 312057"] Thanks again for all the advice but I have come up with a blank still. I have the my removed hard drive connected to my wife's MacBook and have copied the Mail and Safari files from my User Account/Library/Mail and ditto Safari to Documents. I then managed with the help of Google to locate the hidden User Folder on my wife's computer and copied and pasted the Mail and Safari folders there (this User Folder is obviously in my wife's name and not mine). However, on checking the Mail content there I was getting the same result as before with many Mail messages the majority of them I would not have saved, mainly 2013 and 2022 mails without ones in between as previously described from earlier checks. I had a similar result with the Safari files and got very little information from any of the listed files. I think despite everyones effort to assist we must have reached the end of the road with this issue of trying to get useful information from the old HD.
