          Yea, save your home folder to an EXTERNAL drive and you shouldn't have any problems, my budddy helped me with the same problem last week

              Was just about to tell you to save your home directory to another place then restore after.... but its been said 2x. :-)

              Hope it works out for you.

                      From Mail Help:
                      Backing up mailboxes and addresses
                      You may wish to back up your mailboxes, messages, addresses, and account settings as part of your regular backup strategy.

                      To back up mailboxes and addresses, make copies of:
                      The Mail folder, located in the Library folder of your home folder.
                      The file com.apple.mail.plist, located in the Preferences folder of your Library folder. This file stores the preferences you set in Mail Preferences.
                      The folder AddressBook, located in the Application Support folder of your Library folder. The folder AddressBook contains the information in your address book, which is used by both Address Book and Mail.
                      .
                      .

                      Arguing with a troll is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

                              first item
                              .
