    Those settings are stored in the com.apple.mail.plist file inside the com.apple.mail Container (~/Library/Containers).

    You would have to write a script it insert those items as the preference list contains account information and other account specific settings.

     

    You may be able to start with a base plist which doesn't have any account information, but I don't know if Mail will replace the entire plist when a user first opens Mail.
