Mail does not migrate until you first open Mail in Lion. The folder username/Library/Mail/ now contains two folders, "V2" and "Mail Lost+Found". Data that my Mail application stores in some alias files is in the folder "Mail Lost+Found" and I had to write a migrator script to move it into the "V2" folder. That's when I noticed something odd.

What has this got to do with AppleScript?
