How do I transfer my saved emails from my old computer to my new computer? I use Apple's Mail application and 10.3.3. I'm guessing its all in the contents of my User>Library>Mail folder, but I wasn't sure if I needed to look anywhere else. Thanks in advance for the help.

You are correct...you may want to grab the com.apple.mail.plist as well...

Yep, thats all there is too it.

User>Library>Mail folder
User>Library>Prefs > com.apple.mail.plist

Imagine the length of the thread if this were a 'how do I move my Outlook mail on my XP box' thread!
