[MlMt] Change email provider: how to do preserve MM settings

[Henry Seiden]

Michael,

In that case it should be simply setting up the new source account. If 
you are filtering spam though, some more adjustments might need to be 
done.

I use SpamSieve for that and if I any new sources occur, I usually train 
my spam settings within SpamSieve for that condition with the new Source 
account.

Usually not much training is involved since the spam senders eventually 
follow the transfer somehow. Hence the need for filtering the first 
place. I last happened for me when I made the switch away from G-Mail in 
favor of iCloud. It took awhile, but I noticed that the junk follows on 
(but still remains on the old account as well as the old…).

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
