I have a whole bunch of mail accounts on my computer. About 13 or so. And I wanna get all these accounts on to another computer, but I don't wanna have to manually create each account and set all its settings thats a pain and could take a long time. Is there any easy way? Again, I don't want to copy the mail over, just the accounts & info themselves, thier all IMAP email so the mail will all be there anyway.

/User Folder/Library/Mail/

Just drag over your IMAP account folders nested within that folder...

I would also make sure to grab the preferences for mail:

com.apple.mail.plist

From your user's /Library/Preferences folder as well...

:-\ I sure wish this forum emailed me when you updated i just had a hell of a time getting all those folders from one user to another. And it didn't work, I'll try again with the prefs too.

Nope Still doesn't work.

Hmmm, I've never had a problem doing that with all my "POP" acccounts...IMAP shouldn't make a difference...

Why not just drag all Mail.app prefs and the whole entire "Mail" folder over?

All the preferences?/ Isn't there only one, I dragged that one i found and the entire mail folder over, still nothing. It acts like it knowns nothing ans ask me to set up the 1st account.

I've done it with IMAP. It works just the same. Maybe it's a permissions issue. Try typing:

sudo chown -R <username> /Users/<username>/Library
sudo chmod -R 700 /Users/<username>/Library

That should repair the permissions of the entire Library folder of <username>.
