Hi Jennifer,

Ah only Mail messages....  I think I remember when you were having problems 
with your old Mac freezes, that you were in Snow Leopard. If this is the case 
your mail now you have upgraded to Mountain Lion Mail is a different database 
to the SL Mail database, so most likely you will be unable to access any of the 
old SL emails through Time Machine.

Wait until the person who setup your new iMac is back from Holidays and he 
possibly will be able to manually locate the email message for you. Or he will 
be able to resend the message you mention below :-)

Also some of your Mailboxes might need to do a Rebuild.

Not much cooler than Perth down my way , probably one degree or so. It was nice 
when little Perez and I went for our 5KM walk this morning @ 5AM though.  But 
we have just come home from delivering a late Christmas present to one of the 
family... And immediately we entered our house, I turned the Air Conditioner 
on!! 

Cheers,
Ronni
