If the User is using iCloud on the New Computer - As long as the User setups up the New Computer with the Same Apple ID - all your e-mails in iCloud should appear on the new Computer


Personal experience. Have an old computer running High Sierra macOS 10.13.6 and use iCloud for e-mail. Have since purchased a new M1 Apple MBA and an M1 Mac Mini both running Monterey 12.6.


Using the Same Apple ID on all New computers and presto - Apple Mail on new machines and all the e-mails in iCloud Appear right way.
