Because of a repeated need to reset SMC on my 2015 MacBook Air, I agreed with the genius bar to have them do a clean new install of 10.10.5 which is my preferred OS. I have a full bootable USB backup using Carbon Copy Cloner and can boot my 2002 MacBook to that drive.
I actually looked forward to the clean install as I had a lot of unused software. Except for a few apps that include an uninstall package, OSX does not do a good job of getting rid of background files if you simply delete the app.
I can restore individual apps that I do want using CCC but my problem is I can't locate the files I need to fully restore my email. I assume they are in library files and perhaps in application support but I see no folders called Mail. In fact most of the installation keys that I will need to open paid software are in stored emails in the old system. Of course, I have things like family email there as well.
Can anyone tell me:
1) What files do I need to copy back to restore my mail configuration and saved email folder structure?
2) What library files will restore my preferences and favorites including Speed Dial in Firefox?
3) What do I need for the same in Chrome?
Thanks in advance.
