Reinstall OS and only restore mail.
Hello. I bought a M1 14" MBP - love it - but think I made a mistake in migrating from my old MBP. Everything works fine BUT I notice there is a lot of junk leftover from software I don't use. I suspect - with no proof to back it up - that a clean install of the OS would provide better performance.
I have good backups with Time Machine. What I'd like to do is wipe the disk and reinstall the OS so the MBP is starting like-new, then only reinstall the mail from the backup. Then I'll reinstall the apps I need/use and finally my docs.
Suggestions on how best to only restore my mail? Thanks.
