Just posted on a similar topic…MailMate Rules to another machine.
Think the Rules are in the general settings: com.freron.MailMate.plist,
but you may need to confirm with someone else. I shut down MM and copy
all settings whether moving to a new machine or re-establishing settings
after a problem occurs (also I rarely change settings, though when I
do make a backup of all that is dated, so I can revert safely).
Same for all settings. I move all settings. YMMV.
See attached and you can see it in the list as well, with comments. Hope
that helps.
Respectfully,
Henry Seiden

Sorry for asking again, but does anyone have suggestions on how to
handle this?
I'm only interested in migrating MailMate settings and ensuring my
rules and smart mailboxes work with the new mailbox.

Jonny,
I practice due caution in moving to another machine, so as to include
all Rules, mailboxes, signatures and settings of other kinds that you
may be using (or have used in the past and forgotten about). In short
what you want to keep working on your new setup from the old.
So I’d recommend you go with the complete list specified by the
developer to migrate one system to another. YMMV. Also I would put in
the same version that’s working for you on the new machine and upgrade
as required for a current version if you notice any anomalies.
The current Experimental build of M-M 1.14 is 6065. Downloadable from
Archives,[ here](https://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/) .
For a list of settings to migrate (and a bit of a description) see
either the full [Manual](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/rebuild) or
the Help file in the the current MM app Menu>Help>Rebuild Database>Topic
in Blue, “How to Transfer MailMate Settings to another computer”.
Both versions seem identical to me.
Respectfully,
Henry Seiden

I have been running MailMate on two Macs, one of which is on most of
the time, the other is only on for part of the day.
I have lots of rules for filtering and filing messages on the MM
instance on the Mac that is on all of the time.
I am retiring the Mac that I leave on and will only be using the other
Mac. I would like to move all of the MM rules from the Mac being
retired to the other one. I looked in the message archives and found
a few of different approaches.
Both Macs have all the same email accounts configured. All are IMAP
(some iCloud and some Gmail). I have synchronized all of the accounts.
I this as simple as to quit MM on both machines and then just move
Mailboxes.plist to the Mac I want to keep?
Or should I do something more complicated? I want a reliable method
even if it involves more work.
