Transferring Mail problem

    Hi

    Am trying to move my mail over to the new comp - firstly tried the migrations assistant and even though my comps were both on the same wireless network it couldnt locate my old mac.

    So then I found a guide on google where you copy your mail folders from your user - library onto a stick and then try and transfer over via usb to the new MAC. However the finder is laid out totally different. For some reason my personal folder is not there, and neither is my HD on the left hand side where it usually is on my Snow Leopard old one. Instead I got "all my files" Air Drop etc.
    Anyway I found my HD and personal folder by doing a search and dropped the mail folder from the old mac into user - me - library - mail

    According to the guide when I do this when I click on mail it should automatically have all my old stuff in there, but instead its asking me to setup a new mail account.
    Do I need to setup my mail accounts again or have I done something wrong? Did I drop the mail folder in the wrong place?
