Re: [MlMt] Location of settings folder?

Dave, you still do need some of the files from the Applications Support folder. 
Most importantly is sources.plist, identities, and mailboxes. I’m doing this 
from memory (also on phone), but look at the pliers, and their names are pretty 
telling. If you’ve modified keybindings or similar, also look in the Resources 
folder for more plists. (In general don’t copy these unless MM is closed, fyi). 
I think there is also a help page somewhere about this, I’ll send it if I can 
find it quickly.

Subject: Re: [MlMt] Location of settings folder?

I ended up using the Open command in Terminal. Typed “open” and then dragged my 
BS user folder onto the command line. When I pressed Return the folder opened 
in Finder with ~/Library accessible.

My problem now is that I copied (Opt-drag) the com.freron.MailMate.plist file 
from the Big Sur ~/Library folder to the Sierra ~/Library folder and launched 
MM. It shows me the empty Account Settings panel. Since this file, as it’s 
listed in the BS ~/Library folder, has the exact date of my BS computer’s 
failure, I’m sure this is the right file.

There are no files nor folders relating to freron or MM in the Application 
Support folder.

Can someone please give me Benny’s email address? (Since I don’t have access to 
MM, I’m pounding out emails on my phone, which is limited re. list of 
contacts.) I think I’ve exhausted my options and it’s time for some 1-on-1 
communication.

Thanks,
Dave


Dave,

One way could check out, the copy with CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner), if you have it 
or maybe a good excuse to get it as a demo.

Or a similar product that works around the restriction altogether. That app 
allows you to access the User Folder and select a file/group folder(s) to 
copy/replace. Also you could port both the preferences and settings files at 
the same time.

I have not tried this copy on different vintages (from Big Sur to Sierra in 
your example), so YMMV.

You're welcome! If it's helpful, there is a method out there for 
making the Library folder visible by default--mine always is. I can't 
remember how I set it, but it's probably worth a google.



And there is also —

Finder Revealer 1.0 



Which toggles the hide/reveal setting, and has worked unchanged over 
many years and OS version — AFAIK it is just s wrapper for the 
preference setting change mentioned by John down thread, but it sits 
in the dock and does not need  me to google on those very rare 
occasions when I want a change, ie., almost always in “reveal” 
these days.

I have another question:

If I want to retrieve MM settings from a Big Sur boot volume that i cannot boot 
from on this computer (Big Sur is not compatible on this new-to-me old Intel 
mini that I’m installing Sierra on), how do I get access to the Library folder 
in the Big Sur volume so to copy to the Sierra Library folder?

Thank you John. I was aware of the hiding of Library but couldn’t recall how to 
get it. I thought it was a checkbox or such.

The Mac OS hides the ~/Library folder by default. To navigate to it, press the 
Option (Alt) key while you click to open the Finder's Go menu, and then select 
Library. Alternatively, in the Finder, click Go > Go to Folder, and then enter 
~/Library. (The tilde is an OS placeholder for the current user's folder.)

The MailMate support files are in ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/.
