~/Library/Application Support/aMule/

should be there.

I did not delete ~/Library/Application Support/aMule/ when replacing 2.2.5 with 2.2.6.
When it didn`t work I put amule.conf + preferences.dat into a backup folder and started. Still didn`t work.
I copied back the original amule.conf + preferences.dat files used by 2.2.5 to ~/Library/Application Support/aMule/

Now I have an additional problem in the other user account:
I always get low IDs. I checked the router`s firewall and the OS` firewall: All port forwarding is set correctly and activated (also automatically loaded in the OS).
Still the port test found in the amule wiki is negative also for custom ports that I tried alternatively. I always set the ports to test in amule and restarted before I made the TCP test. Always negative.
I hate updates....

There was no change that could result in such a problem.
Probably your firewall is configured for individual apps and now blocks the new version.
Why have a firewall if you have a router?

Indeed the firewall requires adding updated applications again. That solved the problem I had on the 2nd user account.
On the first account amule still loads and then crashes.

Can I move the latest additions to the download-queue (.part, .part.met, .part.met.bak, .part.met.seeds) out of the temp folder to somewhere else to see if aMule loads again without risking earlier downloads to get damaged?

Are the files with the higher numer as filename always the more recent files or is there a different logic to this?

If I move out some files and continue using aMule (if it works), can I after some time (maybe after I deleted some files for the DL-queue) try to move back the downloads I had temporarily moved somewhere else?

Yes.

Logic is: new download gets the first free number. So, no.

Yes. You have to exit aMule first of course. If the number has been taken meanwhile you can just rename .part and .part.met to a new number.

I loaded some 200 files at a time and deleted 50% from the DL-queue.
Whenever I load more than about 170 to 200 files 2.2.6 behaves oddly and/or crashes shortly after connecting.

Examples for "odd" things:
I select 2 files an right-click. no context menu. busy mouse pointer. crash.
Sometimes everything seems to load but when I select delete from the context menu there is no request and the download is not deleted. At the same time I can`t open the Application`s menu.
Quitting via control-Q mostly is not possible. Sometimes it is.

Loading all 499 remaing downloads crashes 2.2.6 on start-up.
I tried 2.2.5 and it works. 2.2.6 does not.

If you like, I can send you a crash report from 2.2.6 via private message.

I tried 2.2.5 and it works. 2.2.6 does not.
Who built the package? Is it built with optimize?
I don't think there was a change from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6 that could explain such a change in behavior, except for a bad build.
If aMule crashes at 500 downloads right away you are running out of file handles probably. Raise your limit.
aMule will behave poorly and slowly at that load however in any case.

... busy mouse pointer. crash.
... can`t open the Application`s menu.

Sounds a lot like the way i used to crash sometimes.
Can it not be the same problem?
BobMarleyFan's build is not a recent one, is it?

No. RRM, you had a memory exhaustion bug which showed after some time only. This is an immediate crash.

I used the most recent build available:
http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=44
links to here: http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=17284.0       

Used these
>> aMule-2.2.6-x86-Leopard build 01 <<
aMule with aMuleGUI, aMuled, aLinkCreator, wxCas.
>> aMuleCore-2.2.6-x86-Leopard build 03 <<
This is aMule only, with no extra tools.

build 03 replaced build 01. aMuleGUI, aMuled, aLinkCreator, wxCas from build 01 (not included in build 03)

Problem is, as a matter of fact Mac is an unsupported platform at the moment. "Unsupported" in so far that we have no active developer with a Mac who can look into such things. Not that we wouldn't like to support it better, but we can't I'm afraid.  :(

That sounds like a LOT of work, yeah.  But I do have 3 MacOSX in this house...
