What is an electronic folder structure?

How do I get the same left hand panel folder structure in Apple Mail on my one Mac as I already have it on my other Mac?

  • In Apple Mail on my one Mac, I see this kind of left hand panel folder structure (see screenshot below) with the "Mailboxes" and the sections showing one of my email addresses "wolfgang.bremer@...". However on my other Mac, I don't see this structure but all folders just start from the top. Why does it look different on both Macs? Which is 'better'? And how can I make the one version be similar as the other version?

  • Answer:

    Copy the mailboxes from one Mac to the other. They are in ~/Library/Mail. You probably want to copy the mail preferences too (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist).
