Copying Mail to new Mac

[Courthold]

Hey all,

Well I'm currently awaiting shipment of my shiny new iMac and it occurred to me that I have no idea how to get all my mail from my current mac mini to the new one. Is there some export function in Mail that I'm missing? 😕

You just need to copy the com.apple.mail.plist file from your Home>Library>Preferences folder to the same location on your new machine, and also copy the Mail folder from Home>Library>Application Support to the same place on your new machine.

Thats all there is to it, although they should have an export function...

I just drag stuff over.

There are three things i drag over:

Home>Library>Mail
Home>Library>Mail Downloads
and
Home>Library>Preferences>com.apple.mail.plist

If you drag those three things over you should be good to go with mail.
