The path to your own user area is "/Users/<<your login name>>/" on that drive. If you have created a new account on your new machine and the folder is blocked, it's because of the macOS security saying that your new account is NOT the same as the account that created the old folder. That's fixable, if that is the issue. In post #18, MacBiter said this:That "~" is an abbreviation for "/Users/<<your user account>>". So, mail is stored at "/User/<<your user account/Library/Mail' and is NOT blocked by system security uniquely. So, if you can get to "/User/<<your user account>>," then you should be able to get to your Mail files. The same applies for Safari data.</blockquote>
