[MlMt] Moving MailMate rules to another Mac

[Henry Seiden]

Jonny,

I practice due caution in moving to another machine, so as to include 
all Rules, mailboxes, signatures and settings of other kinds that you 
may be using (or have used in the past and forgotten about). In short 
what you want to keep working on your new setup from the old.

So I’d recommend you go with the complete list specified by the 
developer to migrate one system to another. YMMV. Also I would put in 
the same version that’s working for you on the new machine and upgrade 
as required for a current version if you notice any anomalies.

The current Experimental build of M-M 1.14 is 6065. Downloadable from 
Archives,[ here](https://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/) .

For a list of settings to migrate (and a bit of a description) see 
either the full [Manual](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/rebuild)  or 
the Help file in the the current MM app Menu>Help>Rebuild Database>Topic 
in Blue, “How to Transfer MailMate Settings to another computer”. 
Both versions seem identical to me.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
