resetting mail preferences in mountain lion

I'm trying to reset the mail preferences in Mail after updating to Mountain Lion. I don't see the com.apple.mail.plist in the preferences file, so I'm wondering if this is being handled differently in Mountain Lion? Does anyone have any information about how to reset my mail preferences so that I can completely start over? I thank you in advance for any help.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

From the Finder. Hold down the option key and select Go from the menu>select Library. Then Preferences folder. Delete the file "com.apple.mail.plist." Then relaunch Mail. Of course you could just do it from Mail menu: Mail>Preferences>Accounts.
