Is it possible to transfer preferences and emails from the old to the new computer?

Yes, if you want to move (almost) everything then make sure MailMate is not running and then copy this folder:

        /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate

Note that the Library folder might be [hidden](https://www.noterepeat.com/articles/how-to/70-mac-os-x-accessing-hidden-library-folders).

If you have never launched MailMate on the destination machine then you could also copy this file:

    /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist

After launching MailMate this is a bit more tricky because of the system [caching preferences](http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20130908042828630).

Finally, if you want to refetch emails from the server(s) then you can just copy these files and folders (the ones that exist):

        /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/*.plist
        /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Bundles
        /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources

Most users only have the `.plist` files. Using this approach you still need to re-subscribe to bundles in the Bundles preferences pane.

I think that is all you need to know.
