</blockquote><p dir="auto">Yes, this will make your new computer just like your old one, including everything MailMate related. (Assuming the Time Machine backup is up to date.)
<br />
My suggestion is to use Apples migration assistant. It works really well. You get a question about it when you start up the new Mac.

Migration assistant can read from a Time Machine backup but directly from the old computer is usually faster.
