The Library is a hidden folder. Open Finder, then in the Menu Bar, select Go, Hold down the alt Key the Library folder will appear click it, click Preferences, do your search from there.

There has been a change to Mail in Mountain Lion, partly because of sandboxing changes in the OS. You don't really need to know what that means, but what you do need to know is that the new location for the Mail preferences file is here:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
You can copy that path, then choose Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu and paste it in there to go right to that folder.
Thank you very much, i found two archive: com.apple.mail.plist.lockfile
and com.apple.MailMigratorService.plist
can I delete one of it to solve my problem?
My mail.app it's very slow with the colour ring all of time.
Thank you!
Thank you Thomas, I found what I was looking for,
com.apple.mail.plist.
Do yoy think I have to delete it in order to fix may mail problem?
Thanks,

It is impossible to say. All you've said is "Mail is not working well," which leaves much room for interpretation. Deleting Mail's preferences will eliminate some problems and won't have any effect on others.
Only, it's very slowly, when i am writing a new mail, it's thinking with the color ring during one or more minute then it's working again before thinking again.
I use mail during the last 6 years and I never had a similar problem.
That could be caused by a number of things that would not be fixed by deleting the preferences... corrupt mailboxes, a corrupt copy of Mail, a corrupt or failing hard drive, a damaged system, etc. But deleting the preferences is a fairly easy thing to try for a start.
I visited an apple store few weeks ago and my hard disk it's fine.
But I don't know about the others things,
I will try with delete the preferences.
Thanks
The problem is still here. Appears more complicate than I was thinking.
Perhpas I have to restaure my OS...
Thank you for your help.

Related to Mountain Lion and iCloud. I had no such lagging in Lion. Many posters experienced it on this forum.

And many more did not.
I have very fast machines, new, HD full one quarter, 3 Ghz or more.
Regularly maintained
Nothing explains these lags, apart bottleneck on Apple server. It began more or
less a month ago.
On all other accounts, these machines suffer no such lags.
And I suffer no such lags at all, why would that be?
All human are not equal. Same for machines and servers.
Get real : iCloud has a problem.

On all machines, permissions are repaired once a week and Onyxed twice a month.
No dice.
If you think that a few posts from a Tech Support site represents the actual state of things more power to you.
The fact that your machines need permissions repairs so frequently suggests deeper issues, and get rid of Onyx, it can and will cause more issues than it solves. The fact that all your machines have Onyx, and problems, whereas none of mine have either is compelling enough.
hello i can't find com.apple.mail.plist and "mail" is not working well, thank you
