So... Tuesday morning, I go to access a directory... and all-of-a-sudden... it sounds like a mini-carpenter is inside my G4 tower, buikding something. The rainbow cursor is in a never-ending spin and I pull the plug.
Short story: Primary Hard-drive failure.
I'm kinda pissed since it's really only 2-years-old... it came with my G4.
ANYHOW...!
I back(ed) up my 'user' folder fairly regularly so I still have my pref's, music, photos, etc... but I still need to reinstall ALL of my 3rd-Party software (Ugh!).
Now... when I reinstalled and updated OSX on a new drive... I thought I could just "Drag-n-drop" my backed-up 'user' folder into the newly installed "Users" directory. Yeah... I dragged it there, but it doesn't show-up as a user... just a folder.
I tried a few things, to no avail... so, I just copied all my pref's and stuff to the NEW user.
Here's the rub: Mail keeps accessing my "old" keychain that I dropped in my keychains folder. How do I migrate my keychain Data to the new keychain...?
Can I just rename my OLD keychain to the NEW one and delete the new one...? Every time I launch Mail.app... it always asks for the password of my old user keychain. Gets old really quick. Any suggestions on how to get around this...?
