How To Reset Mac Mail 3.6 To Default Settings

Hello Mac People!

6 months ago I was using a third party tool with my Mac Mail. The tool added an auto BCC address to every outgoing mail. I no longer use the tool and deactivated the third party tool. But there was an error in deactivating and the BCC address is still attached to every outgoing email. I asked the third party tool and they tried everything to fix it, but nothing worked.

I visited the Genius Bar and they said the only way to fix it now, would be to reset my Mac Mail to the original settings (aka start all over) and then re-add each email account, folder, rule, preferences, etc.

It's a pain, but I have to do it.

Problem is I forgot how to save all my current emails in Mac Mail so when I reset everything I can re-import my current emails.

I also don't know how to reset Mac Mail to its original settings.

Please help. Thanks!
