<p dir="auto">+1 for the export/import user story. From my side that would suffice:</p>
<ol>
<li value=1>export mailbox configuration on desktop</li>
<li value=2>copy one file over to laptop</li>
<li value=3>import mailbox configuration into laptop
<ul>
<li>overwrite mailbox settings
<ul>
<li>mailboxes</li>
<li>Conditions</li>
<li>Submailbox settings</li>
<li>Rules</li>
</ul></li>
<li>? import tags (if tags have internal IDs, they could also be overwritten?)</li>
<li>? how to handle a mailbox that exists on the target but not in the source?</li>
</ul></li>
</ol>

<p dir="auto">I agree, this is probably one of the only weak points of MM. However based on my experience with other applications, this is definitively not a trivial issue, and it is certainly dependent on the IMAP server.</p>

<p dir="auto">To be clear, a solution would involve some kind of private “message” within an IMAP folder on an IMAP server (as also seen with other email clients). This could of course be hidden by MailMate, but it would be visible in other email clients -- annoying but necessary. There is no standardized way to do these things via IMAP. This also means that IMAP server bugs are not likely to be a major issue.</p>

<p dir="auto">Any chance of an interim solution involving generating a tar file that can then be imported elsewhere?</p>
