My wife's MacBook died (video cable) so it was a good time to buy a new
laptop. She gets my mid-2011 MacBook Air (Mavericks) and I have a new
MacBook Air (Yosemite) on order. I don't use Time Machine but do have
my Mavericks Air backed up via CCC on an external HD.

Moving/reinstalling apps is fairly straight forward but my concern is
Mail. When I moved up from the old MacBook to the Air, I used Migration
Assistant and that was a real mess. It took Apple about an hour to get
my Mail folders, etc migrated successfully to the new Air and setup the
way I wanted. Being as I'm starting with a brand new, and clean system
(Yosemite) I'd like to keep it that way and not move any items I don't
want or have any use for. All I see is the Mail app in the Applications
Folder and can't find anything else Mail-related that I could copy
over. I don't even see a plist for Mail.

Is there a way to copy/paste my Mail folder to Yosemite so that all my
received/sent mail and mail folders are still intact? Should I just
create new folders and then copy/paste the contents from Mavericks to
Yosemite, including my received/sent emails?
