Mail - Move to new Mac.

Hi, everyone.


I just purchased a new Macbook Pro and wish to transfer my Mail install from my previous machine to this new one. Both machines are currently running Yosemite.


I ran into an article that describes how to do it. Here is the link:


http://www.macinstruct.com/node/183


I have found the Mail folder in the Library folder but can't seem to find the com.apple.mail.plist file. Is this the right way to do it ? Am I looking in the right place ? The article describes the location as Macintosh HD → Users → Your User Folder → Library → Preferences but I can't seem to find this location.


Any help will be very appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
