No problem just:

1) Close SeaMonkey

2) In File Explorer go to "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Seamonkey"
 (Hidden path unless you have Show Hidden Files Folders enabled)

3) Delete "Profiles" folder and "profiles.ini" file.

4) Copy "Profiles" folder and "profiles.ini" file from old Windows 7
system it will be the same path fill path if your username is bill
 "C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey"

5) Start SeaMonkey and your Windows 7 profile will be on the new system.

Take care,

I do not have a x...@yahoo.com acct other than yahoo web mail.

ATT.net settings:

As Walt mentioned, I keep hearing about needing a "Secure Mail Key".
I do not have one.  If that becomes necessary I will use pop or imap 
gmail instead.

I don't care.  Anything that will work.  Will you post your settings?

Short answer: yes.

Longer answer: this is pretty easy with Mozilla applications.  What to 
do:


1) Install Seamonkey on the new machine, but don't start it up (i.e., 
don't run the setup wizard).


2) Get a copy of the contents of %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Seamonkey (the 
entire folder) on the old machine. If you haven't set up networked 
sharing, the fastest way to do this is to copy to a USB device (thumb 
drive or external hard drive).


3) On the new machine, copy all your data %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Seamonkey, 
and you're all set to go, where Seamonkey on the new machine is 
working with an exact and complete copy of what was on your old machine.


I will note that for this, I'm using Windows environment variables (as 
Seamonkey does itself) to find your profile data, rather than trying 
to explain how to find the data in C:\Users\  If you enter the 
location in the address bar in the Windows Explorer, that will get you 
to the correct location, even though your AppData folder is normally 
hidden. The environment variable gets you to the correct location on 
the first try, and ignores the fact that the folder is hidden.


As an aside, this is useful to know for the purposes of making backups 
of profiles.  Because AppData is hidden, Microsoft makes it difficult 
to back up data stored there, and there are a few apps where you 
actually want to back up your data.  All Mozilla apps (not just 
SeaMonkey, but Firefox and Thunderbird, as well) store data in 
AppData, and if you know how to access via environment variable, then 
it's relatively easy to make sure that data gets included when you're 
doing backups.



One minor complication -- I moved a Seamonkey profile to a new 
computer several months ago, using this methodology.  The one problem 
that I had was with newsgroups, in handling read/unread.  For most of 
my newsgroups, I was able to get things to behave, but in a few cases, 
I had to resort to doing a Repair Folder (and re-downloading the 
entire history of headers).  And in one or two newsgroups, that didn't 
work, and I had to unsubscribe and resubscribe the newsgroups.  Not 
really a significant problem, but annoying.


Smith



Sorry - I already ran the setup and SM is up and running on the "New" 
machine.

Confusing stuff.
I did go to Users and got into the "Profile" (I remember THAT !) and copied
abook.mab and bookmarks.html  and pref.js to a thumbdrive.

If I shove them into the same place on the New Machine, will THAT work ?
I am like a boulder rolling around in a Glassware store !

DoctorBill


You want to migrate your entire profile to the new machine, just as NFN 
said.  That way you keep your emails, passwords, bookmarks (which are 
not in bookmarks.html any more) on the new system.  I'm not sure about 
Calendar entries, I migrated mine recently and some of them were lost in 
the move.
I'd tend to delete your new profile, if you need an empty one then you 
can create a new one.

Oh Heck !  I remember the "IMPORT" functions !
Can I import bookmarks and mail from this version on Win 7  TO

I found abooks and bookmarks on this machine and put them on a thumbdrive !

I can't find any of that stuff in the "New" Windows 10 hard drive (solid

I supposedly have full "administrator" access to the HD.lol ?
