Yes, if you want to move (almost) everything then make sure MailMate is 
not running and then copy this folder:

	/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate

Note that the Library folder might be 
[hidden](https://www.noterepeat.com/articles/how-to/70-mac-os-x-accessing-hidden-library-folders).

If you have never launched MailMate on the destination machine then you 
could also copy this file:

     /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist

After launching MailMate this is a bit more tricky because of the system 
[caching 
preferences](http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20130908042828630).

Finally, if you want to refetch emails from the server(s) then you can 
just copy these files and folders (the ones that exist):

	/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/*.plist
	/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles
	/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources

Most users only have the `.plist` files. Using this approach you still 
need to re-subscribe to bundles in the Bundles preferences pane.

I think that is all you need to know.
