Q: Mail from Mac Mini to iMac with migration assistant
I have a mac mini (2014 - El Capitan) that I have been using for sometime now and I have numerous mailboxes (30+) with many stored messages (100s maybe 1000s).
Because of vision issues I recently picked up a 2011 iMac 27 which is currently running OS X Sierra Final Release Candidate.
Both units are running fine but I would like to transfer my mailboxes, messages and account settings from the Mac Mini to the iMac using Migration Assistant to take advantage of the larger screen.
Am I able to select just the Mail data (mailboxes, messages, and settings) to be transferred somewhere in the Migration Assistant interface or will it just start transferring everything?
I use iCloud for note, calendars and contacts but would prefer not to use it for email.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
