How to manually migrate the email settings

Hello!


I am trying to transfer the following settings in mail.app to a new Mac without using the migration assistant or time machine.


To do so, I am trying to identify the plist where the settings are stored, but am unable to do so.



Steps I have tried


Migrate source Mac>mail.app>Settings>Composing>Mark addresses not ending with

Enable this and write the email address


The corresponding settings are reflected in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail-shared.plist on the source Mac.


Move com.apple.mail-shared.plist to the new Mac, overwrite it, and restart the Mac


The setting of mail.app does not reflect.



What file other than ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail-shared.plist should I move to get the above settings over?


If anyone knows of any solutions, please let me know.
