Other follow-ups have good advice, and you should follow them. In the meantime, you probably should forget about MozBackup. That one was abandoned by its developer several years ago, and there's a growing number of things in Mozilla architecture that it doesn't account for -- in particular, that would be Firefox (especially Quantum), and perhaps there's less issues with current versions of Firefox. However, it's likely that there's stuff in Seamonkey that's newer than the last release of MozBackup doesn't account for. You're definitely better off in making a straight copy of the entire profile (using a zip archive is good, but not essential), and has been noted, it's easy to move a profile across platforms, whether Windows, Linux or Mac.

Close SeaMonkey and make sure it is not running any longer in the background. Zip the complete AppData\Roaming\mozilla\SeaMonkey under your profile. If you use only SeaMonkey or want to move Fx too zip AppData\Roaming\mozilla\ On the new PC use the same userid if possible. Delete the compete AppData\Roaming\mozilla\SeaMonkey directory.

This allows me to revert easily if something goes wrong. It also prevents Windows from doing funny things (replacing some files and folders, adding others) if it finds partial matches within the folder tree. 2) Copy the \Mozilla folder from the desktop/source computer to the laptop/target computer. Run normally on the laptop. On my return, repeat the process in the other direction: 1) On the desktop/target computer, rename the \Mozilla folder to \Old_Mozilla. 2) Copy the \Mozilla folder from the laptop/source computer to the desktop/target computer. Run normally on the desktop. This all assumes that I have the same versions of SeaMonkey and the same plugins and add-ons on the two computers. I can't predict what would happen if those assumptions didn't hold.

Well, I got the new computer and now trying to work with SeaMonkey browser and email. First problem is size of font on the browser headings. If I try to enlarge the font size in the email and in the browser headings, it enlarges the print within the email or webpage but not the headings (both browser and email). Please help me, thanks. PS Have not yet set up new computer with old SeaMonkey settings. I was able to save them, thanks to this list, now just have to get them in the right place in the new computer and need time. PS2 New email will not take my password when trying to send, but okay when downloading new email. I have my email through ATT which uses Yahoo. I can get into it on Yahoo and it accepts my password as it does with my other two computers when I send via Seamonkey email. But, with the new computer, I can download new email but cannot send because they say wrong password. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help I get.

Re: new computer
Okay, I will be clearer. I am moving from Window 10, not a mac, to Window 10 in new computer, also not a mac. From a Dell Windows 7 updated with Windows 10 to a Dell Windows 10. Both are desktops. What I want to move is my email set up (folders) and my Preferences (under Edit). Plus, would like to have the same settings on the browser side, like links and tabs. Tabs will be easy to set up but can I move the links folder from one computer to another? It has been 7 yrs since I got a new computer so do not remember how I set up my email program. I have a number of email folders where I keep various emails in different categories and would love to be able to have the same setup in the new computer.

Yes,(grumble, grumble) the Windows World, just use the environmental var %APPDATA% you can avoid the issue: 1) WinKey + R 2) %APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\ 3) Replace 'Profiles' Folder. 4) Start SeaMonkey And of course if the user has different sets of helper apps on the two computers, he could make trouble by dropping a profile that references a nonexistent app onto the target computer.

If you are using helper apps then that goes without saying, you're going to have to install them, else you will get the download prompt... At any rate, as Paul in Houston has pointed out more bluntly, "old computer" and "new computer" is not enough info to answer the question. One might safely assume the OP is talking about a Windows computer and highly unlikely it is more than 15 years old. So XP to 10? No problem.

Re: How to move SeaMonkey to a new computer
Trane Francks wrote: Thank you! That's another completely different process than that I plan to try first, see my response to Paul earlier. Will MozBackup work with my setup, mail files on a drive other than the C drive? If so, perhaps I should install it and run it on a regular basis. Jay MozBackup reads the profile structure from the profile itself, so it has no problem collecting stuff in the backup. With regard to restoring, I'm unsure of how that would work should your new computer not have the same drives available. It's not a time-consuming issue to experiment, though. I believe that MozBackup should have no problem restoring to a non-standard location. I haven't checked, but as long as it can find %APPDATA%\profiles.ini, then the profiles.ini file should provide the necessary pointers to wherever the profile is located. As for backups in general, MozBackup is NOT a computer backup strategy and should not be treated as such. You should be doing proper system-wide backups from which restores can be done. Windows has capable tools for administering this task. Although some depends on how you're doing your backups. If I remember correctly, the default target location for MozBackup is My Documents. If you write your backups there, that will protect you from oops overwrites and deletions. However, if you've backed up there, then a regular system backup will copy that archive, as well. Yes, a proper system backup will get your data from the normal location, and you'll have duplicate data in your backup archive, but you have the convenience to recover with MozBackup. For me, I do my system backups to a LAN-connected drive, and I also make occasional runs of MozBackup, where I write the MozBackup archive to the LAN drive.

Since you have the same OS and the same version of SM on the two computers, here's a quick and easy way of doing it. I also assume you have installed SM on both computers and have the same plugins (Flash, Acrobat, etc.) on the two computers. Locate the folder C:\Users\YourWindowsName\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\ on both computers (your Windows username may be different, doesn't matter). 1) With SM closed, rename the one on the target computer to \OldMozilla or some other distinctive name of your choosing so SeaMonkey won't notice it. 2) With SM closed, copy the one on the source computer to the target computer so it's in the same directory as \OldMozilla. SeaMonkey will see and accept the new \Mozilla. (Note that if you need to copy to a CD as an intermediate step, you will have to change the read-only property of all files in the directory back to no after you copy from the CD to the target HDD). You're done. Once you're satisfied that all is well, you can delete \OldMozilla. If it doesn't work, delete the new \Mozilla and unrename \OldMozilla back to \Mozilla, which will leave you back where you started. You may have minor glitches if your Helper Applications list points to things that don't exist on the target computer, but that's easily fixed by installing the missing apps. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

MozBackup is ideal for this one. If you know the locations of your profiles on each computer (namely %APPDATA%\Mozilla\seamonkey, it's easy enough to copy the contents of the profile folder from the old machine to the new machine. However, MozBackup gives you a little easier control over the process (and options for stuff to include/exclude), and puts everything into a nice .ZIP-format archive. Thus, run MozBackup on the old computer, then copy the archive to the new computer. On the new computer, install SeaMonkey, and launch it once, so that you see the beginning of the configuration wizard. Once you have that, you can abort, because that will be enough to create profiles.ini and also create the default profile folder. From there, run MozBackup on the new machine, and recover all your data from the backup archive into the profile on the new machine. Although I'm adept enough at doing raw data transfer (including from Windows to both Linux and Mac), for Windows-to-Windows, I find MozBackup to be a little quicker and easier. For good measure, MozBackup works fine for both Firefox and Thunderbird. Plus, with a little bit of tinkering, you can get it to work for moving data in and out of portable apps profiles.

The only caveat, in my experience, is that it doesn't like backing up straight to USB flash memory, so have it backup to the HDD and then copy the profile to USB or across the network manually. -- / // Trane Francks tr...@tranefrancks.com Tokyo, Japan // Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

The last one pulls up a dialog that tells me The following applications can be used to handle Adobe Acrobat 7.0 document content, and lists Adobe Acrobat and tells me the directory containing its executable.

They have been downloaded from my mail server (ATT-Yahoo). Thanks in advance plus thanks for all the help I have received on this list. PS I love the new Seamonkey. Everyday I do something that reveals a new feature. Good luck with the new computer, Pat. At least you know where to come if you have problems with your SeaMonkey! Pat, in your new mail account you will have a folder called inbox (without the inverted commas and without the .xxx bit), and in your old mail account you will also have a file called inbox (without the inverted commas and without the .xxx bit). If you just move the old inbox to the location of the new inbox, you will lose any new mail you may have downloaded into your new inbox, so, in Windows Explorer or whatever, change the name of your old inbox folder to oldinbox or whatever. Don't worry about the inbox.msf (or any of the .msf files for that matter, these can be re-written when needed. Now move the oldinbox to the same location as the new inbox. Open SM and make sure that the oldinbox is now showing up in your profile along with the new inbox. If it does, then drag and drop the emails from oldinbox into the inbox, or wherever else you what them, then delete the folder. Do a similar process for the other folders in the old mail account ...rename the folder, move the folder, move the folder contents, delete the folder. Of course if the old folder is empty, there is no need to touch it. Other files that you may need to move from the old profile to the new are abook.msf (contains all your e-mail addresses) and addressbook.html (contains all your favourite web sites).

I was able to put SM 2.0.4 on the new computer okay and using it now to write this. However, I can't find where to put my profile. Here's how I get into SeaMonkey on the C drive: OS C, Program Files (F86), SeaMonkey Files in SeaMonkey folder: chrome, components, defaults, dictionaries, extensions, greprefs, isp, modules, plugins, res, searchplugins, uninstall. I have followed the instructions in HELP but they didn't help.

Re: new computer problems
ConnorsGenealogy a écrit : However, I can't find where to put my profile. C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles In your Folder Options, make sure you have set the system so it will show hidden files or you won't see AppData. I switched from Win2K to Win7 by simply copying my profile in that location. No problem at all, it went without a hitch. It should be the same for you.

Just get mozbackup, use it to backup your profile, and then use it to load the profile on the new machine. A lot simpler than mucking around with copying folders etc. http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ But, you have to know that if you take the SM1 profile from an XP machine and you transfer to a Vista machine, location of profile are different ... i don't know if mozbackup permit the load at *another* place. Comparing with the copy-methode, you need to mucking around :-) ...Or you could tell your Vista SM where YOU wanted to put YOUR profile!! It's always better (to avois problems in the future) to install the program in the program default directory *and* install the profile in the profile default directory. Rubbish, it's just easier to click Typical Installation rather than click Custom Installation and have to think about what you want to do!! This was just what i have thinked - letting the program install at their normal-default location. SM1 profiles default locations are different on an XP machine than on a Vista machine. When is a default not a default?? Therefore the copy of the SM1 profile (which will be used for the migration to SM2 on the Vista machine) must be done *from* the profile default location on the XP machine *to* the SM1 profile default location on the Vista machine. Why not copy your profile from where you wanted it to where you wanted it!!

Re: new computer
Thanks for the good wishes, David. But, I have one more question before I set up my new computer...I have the profile folder copied and no problems getting my mail folders and filters. But, how do I actually get all the actual emails I have read and not read and saving in the various folders copied from the old computer to copy into the new computer? They have been downloaded from my mail server (ATT-Yahoo). Thanks in advance plus thanks for all the help I have received on this list. PS I love the new Seamonkey. Everyday I do something that reveals a new feature. Good luck with the new computer, Pat. At least you know where to come if you have problems with your SeaMonkey! -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
