A while back (meaning I don't remember how I did it) I moved my Mail folder to an external drive. I guess I created an alias or something in place of the original (Library) folder.

I've now moved to a new iMac with El Capitan. I'd like to point everything to that same external folder and have Mail load everything up from there, but there seems to be an issue, possibly with the V2/V3 situation?

If someone can help me out, I'd appreciate it. Rather not spend the hours it would take to redownload everything and then still have to figure out how to migrate everything to the external again.

Thanks!
