Did you check your ~/.mozilla folder?

Go to "Edit | Mail Account Settings". From there, click on "Server Settings" for each of your accounts.

The bottom-right side of the screen should show a path to a file. (I'm not at my machine right now, and the exact format escapes me at the moment. ) That is the location of your mailbox.

Back up that file, and you will back up your Mozilla Mail.

I moved mine to another drive when I migrated from Windows to Fedora. All I had to do then was re-point the file to the old inbox -- and voila! Everything was there.

Adios,
Clay (Linux Newbie, but longtime Mozilla fan!)

I found that with cntrl 2 going to the mail client the main mozilla window has only preferences.

I guess it is easier if you just take the .mozilla directory from each user on the system this should take all
the mozilla configuration for each user?

I presume this way you will save having to repeat the spam learning curve?

Thanks for the help.

Saving the entire ~/.mozilla directory will save all your settings and such. I'm not sure about the learning curve, but my guess is it's settings will also be saved...
