I've copied this files:

        - ~/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist

as Benny sugested me a while ago.

Seeing that this question arise again: Benny, wouldn't be possible to have a menu-item / preference-button for exporting everything that make sense (like a backup-capsule :-) in order to start with MailMate on a new machine / os / etc.?

How about just exporting these files on Dropbox/... and importing them again on startup if they are available?

That's exactly what I did, yes.
A button / menu-item in MailMate itself would still have 3 advantages:

1. Nobody would had to remember which plist-files etc. exactly are relevant.
2. Nobody would have to "*dig*" deep in ~Library to find the files.
3. Benny could alter anytime the list of the relevant files whit out having to send a notice to all.

I use a couple of apps (TextExpander, Hazel, KeyboardMaestro) that have a similar approach: with a single click I can export text-snippets / rules / macros into a folder I can choose. BusyCal / BusyContacts also let you backup the events / contacts to a location you can choose.


Keeping configs in sync on many machines is really a key-feature these days.

Totally agree! Even when MailMate is not supposed to run simultaneously on two (or more) machines with a single set of plist-files & co., as far as I remember.
