help: mail app acts like new install after kernel panic and can't get old mail

[goodmanx]

thanx, pam, for your suggestion. after following it, i was able to import all but one of my mail accounts; of course, my primary account did not get imported, nor did any of my recent notes (although notes from last year did), which are important to me.

should i move the prefs folder back to the library?

any thoughts on what i can do to find the recent notes?
