I need to provide an old MacBook with the same email account access as a newer Mac. I do not want to use Time Machine, but I also do not want to enter credentials for 10 different email accounts.
Can I copy a single file from Mac to Mac, and thereby give the old mac the access to the same emails as my  newer mac?

New Mac (source) - Sonoma 14.2.1
Old Mac (target) - Catalina 10.15.4
Now that you ask, I realize, it cold do some damages, version incompatibility. Unless, Mac Mail had an official Export/Import feature for Mail Account Settings.

Can I clone a Mac Mail configuration between Macs?

Email Software

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
