[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 743610, member: 11094"] Use the cp command from the terminal to copy in the ~/Library/Application Support files as well as the ~/Library/Mail files Don't forget the ~/Library/Preference files for those apps as well. Basic command for copying the whole user directory. You should modify paths to copy just the file/folders you want. You'll be asked for the password of the logged in user. As long as that user is an admin you're golden. sudo cp -Rv /Volumes/name_of_hd/Users/username/ /Macintosh\ HD/Users/username/ [/QUOTE]
