Re: [MlMt] Change email provider: how to do preserve MM settings
Michael, In that case it should be simply setting up the new source account. If you are filtering spam though, some more adjustments might need to be done. I use SpamSieve for that and if I any new sources occur, I usually train my spam settings within SpamSieve for that condition with the new Source account. Usually not much training is involved since the spam senders eventually follow the transfer somehow. Hence the need for filtering the first place. I last happened for me when I made the switch away from G-Mail in favor of iCloud. It took awhile, but I noticed that the junk follows on (but still remains on the old account as well as the old…).

I'm only interested in migrating MailMate settings and ensuring my rules and smart mailboxes work with the new mailbox.--- Begin Message --- 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 - - Techworks Pro Co.

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.--- End Message --- ___ mailmate mailing list Unsubscribe: https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] Change email provider: how to do preserve MM settings
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. Should I back up all my MailMate settings and do a find-and-replace for the folder IDs, or is there a better way to handle the transfer? Has anyone done this before?

I assume folder IDs will change, so the Rules and Smart Mailboxes might break since they rely on UUIDs. Is there a guide available for this process? ___ mailmate mailing list Unsubscribe: https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate___ mailmate mailing list Unsubscribe: https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
