<p dir="auto">Well that computer went back to the seller as it wasn't charging so I get to do it over again and right when I get whatever new computer I decide on. @Bill I don't see an "export" command? </p>
<p dir="auto">@Benny so when I am installing MM on the new computer - do I create a Mailmate folder in application support and put the <code>plist</code> files in that folder? Before installing MM? or is there a window between install and launch? </p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks (and I hope my query helps others.) <br>

Anyways I want to make sure I do this right. MM is set up with all my accounts but I want my signatures and smart folders. I think that if I copy the entire MM folder from the ~/library/Application Support I’ll end up duplicating emails?</p>

Tags.plist<br>

I probably just want blacklist, mailboxes and signatures? Yes. Anything else I should do? I only found one article from 2014 in the archives.</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">Just take all of the `.plist` files. Then you don't need to configure the accounts and all emails are fetched from the servers building a new database in MailMate.<br>
<br>
You won't get the `defaults` (which also means Preferences) changes. That can be done by copying the following file:<br>
<br>
~/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist<br>
<br>
But I believe this has to be done before launching MailMate for the first time (because the system caches it in memory).</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">An alternative approach is to use the 'export' and 'import' subcommands to 'defaults' command, which assures that you get precisely what the system believes to be the current defaults.<br>
