How can I manually transfer files/email to new macbook pro accounts

I have the new macbook pro retina 13 "and do a clean install from a 2011 macbook pro.  I did basically except accounts e-mail and files.  The two machines are the latest el capitan 10.11.2 worm - two machines have the same version of Mail worm 9.2 (3112).

I use POP mail - not IMAP - do not use the cloud.  I know the advantages and disadvantages, but it is like that.  I have 5 different email accounts with the files and associated files.

I have tried to copy the mail and download e-mail to the library files in the same folder on the new computer.  During the opening of the mail on the new computer, he insists on setting up the new account.  I tried to configure an e-mail account.  THEN again by replacing new files in the folder library/mail with the mail from the old computer folder - once, does not work.  I also copied file library/container/apple.com.mail - and all other files related mail can be found in the mail folder.  Once again successfully.

Yes have you tried importing mail, but this does NOT bring in my records or accounts.

Any ideas before I wipe the drive and do a migration from scratch - lose the clean installation process.

Thank you

The best option is to use the Migration Wizard to transfer your accounts and your files. This will prevent the corruption of the library, which can cause several other problems. And it will not 'eliminate the clean installation state.'
