<p dir="auto">Yes, if you want to move (almost) everything then make sure MailMate is not running and then copy this folder:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Note that the Library folder might be <a href="https://www.noterepeat.com/articles/how-to/70-mac-os-x-accessing-hidden-library-folders" style="color:#3983C4">hidden</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you have never launched MailMate on the destination machine then you could also copy this file:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">After launching MailMate this is a bit more tricky because of the system <a href="http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20130908042828630" style="color:#3983C4">caching preferences</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Finally, if you want to refetch emails from the server(s) then you can just copy these files and folders (the ones that exist):</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/*.plist
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Most users only have the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">.plist</code> files. Using this approach you still need to re-subscribe to bundles in the Bundles preferences pane.</p>
<p dir="auto">I think that is all you need to know.</p>
