Moving email to a new computer

How do I save the configuration for Claws Mail from my old Windows 10 computer and restore it to my new computer? I just spent several hours searching for the answer. Lots of places tell me how to save my mailbox but none of them tell me how to save the configuration.

If I could figure out where Claws Mail stores the configuration information, I could try manually copying it, but the only info I could find told me where it stores the configuration on Linux, not Windows.

I also failed to find any online forum where I could ask for help.

I don't know but the first thing I would try is copying all the Claws subfolders to the exact same path on the new computer.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 09:24, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Have you looked in C:\ProgramData and C:\Users\xxxx\AppData where xxxx is your username? C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Claws-mail\ seems to be the place configs are stored on Win 7. --TrogWoolley (talk) 13:03, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
