Thanks,
I was able to find it the way John told me. I put the hard drive on the desktop and then to the bottom right and opened home and went to the user folder and then home icon and put the document folder on the left side of the bottom of the desktop.
When I go to the finder window the icon with the face and 2 colors I do not see any thing that says Places. When I opened it up on the left it says
all files, air drop, applications, downloads, documents, movies, music and pictures
Is there suppose to be Places too.
Thanks to you and John I now have my folder but would like to save all advise incase it happens again

Click once on that house and in the section to the right of the Sidebar, you should now see some folders. One of them will be called "Documents." That is the one that John Engberg was telling you to click, hold down the mouse button, and draft it to the right end of your Dock, just to the left of the Trash icon. When the icons move aside to make s pace, you can let go of the mouse button, and now you will see a shortcut to your Documents folder.

Do take care in how many visible icons you keep no the desktop. Being as most of them are 'live updating' icons, they can slow the system down by having to refresh them constantly. It's never been recommended to keep much, if anything, on the desktop in the way of icons.

Have you tried using Apple Mail? It's pretty versatile, and the newest version is good at keeping threads together. I use it for all of my 6 different public and 'private' email accounts.
Haven't missed a piece of mail yet!

Mail, move folders from Snow Leopard to Lion

I am moving my files from my MBP to my new machine - iMac 27" 3.4 machine. My mail is using the mail on the machine and have folders to file the older mail documents away (receipts and other business mail). Is there a way to move these folders to my new "Lion" machine? Also, if I update my MBP to Lion will I loose these folders or assist in the move?
PS, I will be having more questions on getting this machine going!!! Honest.
Thank you,
Greg
