Q: Lost mail accounts after OS 10.11 upgrade
Just upgraded to El Capitan on my iMac. All went smoothly BUT when I now run Mail (9.0) all my accounts are missing and all I have is a dialog box asking me to set up new ones. This is catastrophic. How do I restore things apart from reinstalling Yosemite from backup?
Thanks.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Have had same issue, all my email accounts didn't get migrated into El Capitans Mail. Found though that all the data was in user/library/Mail/v3 it just hadn't imported the accounts. Found if I re added the accounts, so long as they had the same name, everything reappeared. But it is a pain, and disappointing.
