I am preparing to do a reinstall of Mac OS X on my Mac and before I do so, I need to back up my Address Book entries, my Safari Bookmarks, and my Apple Mail files. Which files do I need to backup?

Thanks.

Address Book: ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (files contained within)

Bookmarks: ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

Mail: ~/Library/Mail (files contained within)

Note that the tilde symbol (~) represents your Home folder.

Address Book Data:
~/library/application support/addressbook

Safari Bookmarks:
~/library/safari/bookmarks.plist

Apple Mail Files:

~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Saved Messages:

EDIT: you beat me to it
