Struggling here

HAving wiped my drive and clean installed I'm resetting my mail.

I backed up the contents of my user folders beforehand, but when I dragged the mail data back, although all the e-mails etc are present it hasn't reinstated my accounts so I'll have to go through and make them all again.

Does anyone know where mail might be storing the data on accounts so I can just drag them back in?

thanks

Andrew
