They are located in Users/yourname/Library/Mail

Drag the entire Mail folder. Also drag the plist file (com.apple.mail.plist) from the Preferences folder.

That worked before the upgrade to Lion. Now when I go into Users/yourname -- there is no Library folder. Anyone else seen this or know how to find it on a Time Machine backup?

GO to the Go menu in the Finder and hold the option key. The Library can then be a acessed.
