Normally, with accounts like IMAP and Exchange where mail is left on the
server, you just create a new account and sync back up to the server.
The manual method is to get the mail that is in folders "On My Computer"
and
your data like events, notes, tasks over to a new Identity.

Unless you deleted preferences in your ~Library, you should not have to
re-enter.

Accounts are one thing that is always lost. Using screenshots is the only
tip to help in recreating.
