Let me piggyback on this thread. My laptop developed hardware issues, so like OP, I thought to copy the entire MailMate folder from the Application Support and com.freron.MailMate.plist from Preferences to the temp computer. Why should copy just the plists and prefs and refetch all the mails? With 100k mails in dozen IMAP accounts, this will take a while.
Well, that depends on the network connection and the IMAP servers involved.
I'm mainly recommending the “clean start” approach to avoid potential issues with a custom location of the Messages folder and any issues arising from restoring from a backup (which is not 100% reliable because MailMate doesn't control the order in which files are backed up). (A clean start also ensures that the database is as small as it can be.)
