I just received a new M1 iMac. I have been having some weird errors on my current iMac (2017 Retina 5K, Big Sur) so I decided to do a fresh install. I backed up everything using CCC and set up the new Mac without using Time Machine or Migration Assistant.
From the CCC backup, I copied over my Documents, Photos, and Movies folders. I then copied over my ~/Library/Mail folder.
I could have sworn I have done this before and upon opening Mail, it did a rebuild and everything was good. This time though all I get in Mail are my most current (not yet filed locally) iCloud emails. All my folders and filed emails won’t show up. I have tried selecting “Rebuild” in Mail. I have tried copying over the original Preference plist files. Nothing works
Anyone know what I did wrong? Any ideas?
[ My old Mac is not wiped plus I have plenty of redundant backups so I am not worried about experimenting. ]
