Why should we copy just the plists and prefs and refetch all the mails? If I follow the recommendation below, that what we should do. However, with 100k mails in dozen IMAP accounts, this will take a while. I would rather copy the entire MailMate folder from the Application Support and com.freron.MailMate.plist from Preferences to another computer. Direct copy is fast.</p>

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

I probably just want blacklist, mailboxes and signatures? Yes.<br>

</blockquote><p dir="auto">Just take all of the `.plist` files. Then you don't need to configure<br>
the accounts and all emails are fetched from the servers building a new<br>
database in MailMate.<br>
<br>
You won't get the `defaults` (which also means Preferences) changes.<br>
That can be done by copying the following file:<br>
<br>
<br>
~/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist<br>
<br>
<br>
But I believe this has to be done before launching MailMate for the<br>
first time (because the system caches it in memory).<br>
