No, but I still think the following is better:

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.

You won't get the `defaults` (which also means Preferences) changes. 
That can be done by copying the following file:

	~/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist

But I believe this has to be done before launching MailMate for the 
first time (because the system caches it in memory).
