com.apple.mail.plist missing
I need to move my Mail settings & messages to a new macbook pro via a USB drive, but I cannot find the mail.plist file anywhere. I know where it should be (Username/Library/Preferences), but it's not there. The last Time Machine backup is from July 27, but recovering the file or deleting it doesn't affect the app. The weirdest part is that Mail seems to work just fine without the file. Any ideas where it can be if it's not in the Preferences folder?
