1. I backed up my Snow Leopard (SL) files using Time Machine.
2. I performed a clean install of Mountain Lion (ML). 3. I accessed my SL backup and opened the folder user/Library/Mail 4. I accessed the same folder in ML. Note that this folder exists but is invisible in ML. So you have to access it by choosing Go to Folder (Command-Shift-G) in the Finder's Go menu. In the dialog box that appears enter /users/(your username)/Library/Mail. The Mail folder will open in a new window. 4. The ML Mail folder contains a folder called V2. I deleted this folder. 5. I copied the contents of the old SL Mail folder into the empty ML Mail folder. 6. I launched Apple Mail and was promoted to create a new email account. 7. I created the same account I had on SL, using the same account name, email address, pasword, etc. 8. Apple Mail went through a process of reorganizing the files I had copied from SL into its new ML structure and recreated the V2 folder I had deleted, placing everything into it. 9. When it was done, my mail was back where it needed to be. 10. Since I have more than one email account, I created those other accounts as well. The files had already been copied over so creating the new accounts was all it took for my old mail to reappear. 11. In one instance the files would not show up. Perhaps I had a wrong spelling of the account name or some other setting. In that case I simply imported the old mail to get it back. To do this, choose Import Mailboxes under the File menu in Mail and follow the onscreen instructions. First you select Apple Mail as the import type, then navigate to where your old SL mailbox is located. 12. Importing put all the old mail in a separate mailbox and I had to manually select the mail and drag it to the new inbox, sent box, etc. If you don't yet have a new Sent box, the easiest way to get it is to send a test email to yourself. Mail will create the Sent box once you've sent your first email from that account. Additional Notes: 1. I did not concern myself with moving preferences or Keychains as I recreated the accounts and reset all the configurations manually. 2. Mail has a bug in ML that prevents you from permanently sorting your email accounts in the sidebar. It lists them alphabetically. You can resort them as you wish by dragging them around, but they will jump back to being alphabetical as soon as you make any Preference changes. So set all your prefs then sort your accounts.
