[MlMt] Reinstalling MailMate after a Mac OS Erase and Install

[Henry Seiden]

Here’s a MailMate question I’ve been thinking about: I occasionally 
completely reinstall the entire drive from scratch, when new operating 
systems are installed and just for that eventuality has anyone had a 
similar occasion to reinstall MailMate from scratch?

First there are the “built-in apps that come over with the OS. Their 
set up are almost exclusively in /Library/Application Support files. 
Cache files are not included but usually rebuild just fine.

Second, I have a nice list of Apple apps that for instance, come over 
from the App Store with all but Application Support files. So those are 
relatively easy to reinstall.

Then there are non-App Store apps that have varying levels of additional 
application settings stored hither and yon. Many of those are 
rebuildable after installing the app alone from a blank slate. What 
about MailMate? Figuring that it belongs in the this third tier.

For instance would installing the entire MailMate Support file structure 
intact from a back up do a complete job of it - all user settings, 
mailbox settings, the lock mailboxes, smart mailbox settings and 
contents. I’ve discovered that the Messages for example are in, 
~/Users/com.freron.MailMate. Will the app/system rebuild the rest 
-caches, other files, with just that?

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
