Hi all,
I set up iCloud on a new computer with Monterey.
One thing that did not show up in Apple mail what is my previous Smart folders.
Rather than re-creating them from scratch, is there a way that I can import them from my other computer which currently is on Catalina?
Thanks in advance – Dave

You would have to migrate your old user to the new Mac.
You might be able to copy the SmartMailbox plist files from old to new
/Users/username/Library/Mail/VX/MailData/SmartMailboxesLocalProperties.plist
/Users/username/Library/Mail/VX/MailData/SyncedSmartMailboxes.plist
The X in VX is a number noting the version of the mail data store. Monterey is V9. Older OS versions will have lower number.

Thanks Barney-15E - Well Thanks so much for your help. I did what you said and it DID WORK!
Now the silly part: after that worked - I saw the silly stuff - I had not even tried to disclose the triangle before. So I put back the original files and re opened mail and turns out they were there all along....
Silly Me.
Thanks again for your help!
Thanks a bunch I will give it a try...
