I just did a reinstall and copied the Mail folder in:
user/library/Mail
from the old to the new.
I checked and it is there. You'd think I'd see all my Mail folders, and messages there and Mail would operate as before. But although they are indeed in the correct place in the OS X User/Library, Mail doesn't seem to see them.
But I guess I needed to move something else as well. What did I miss? Its acting really strange. It takes forever when checking the SMTP server when setting up the new install. But when checking the POP server it concludes the whether the info I put in is false or true, after about a minute and tells me so, as it should. Whereas the SMTP attempt just never stops looking. I put in actual servers and incorrect servers. It went on for about 30 minutes before I cancelled it. Once cancelled, the Mail program closes (how stupid - doesn't give the user another chance).
