You're right, of course, as I've already said. And I did point out the 
discrepancy, so no need to beat a dead horse.


I answered the question as posed, you went above and beyond. This is 
essentially what Chris's page advised first:



Your entire profile
If you'd like to backup your entire profile, the easiest way to do it
is to simply copy your entire profile folder to a safe location. ...


But I was responding to the section that followed:


Selectively transferring certain data
...
Mail


in which he explained how to micromanage the process when the user had 
special needs.

Chris Ilias gave you the answer:




Good answer, very helpful.

I would add one tweak to the section on mailbox folders:

In addition to ordinary folders, you may also have folders that contain
subfolders. In that case, the mail directory on disk will contain things
like this:
 Sent.sbd [folder]
 2011 [mailbox file, no extension]
 2012 [mailbox file, no extension]
 ...

So in addition to the filenames with no extension, you will also want to
copy the folders with the .sbd extension.

Again. Really simple:

On old computer:

1) WinKey + R

2) %APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\

3) Copy 'Profiles' folder to removable media (thumbdrive, external 
driver, burn on CD/DVD, whatever) just depends on the size of your 
profile. Mines pretty big, 6GB with a lot of history!


4) Eject removable media  and insert in new system

5) WinKey + R

6) %APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\

7) Delete or rename (CYA-method) existing 'Profiles' folder

8) Copy 'Profiles' folder from removable media to 
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\


9) Start SeaMonkey and ALL your stuff: email, passwords, preferences, 
installed extensions, bookmarks, whatever, will be there as they were on 
the old computer.


I have done it countless times, and it is that dead-simple.

The answers will depend critically on the operating system(s) and
versions -- same or different? Mac or PC? Etc.


That is not really true IF we are talking about a SeaMonkey folder and
settings specifically.

I have not done a Mac but no problem moving/coping SeaMonkey profile
from computer to computer. Just have to put the profile in the right
location. Moved from Windows to Linux all the time. Moving to a Mac
should not be an issue.


Well, that's the point -- "the right location," which will vary from OS
to OS, at least in the Windows world.


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. "You want me to open this PDF
with what??? I have no such program..." But that's fixable after the
transfer.


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. 
Use %APPDATA% because chances are the OP does not have the custom 
setting show hidden files and folders set.

Same or different versions of SM? Which one(s) in particular? That also
matters.


Now that can be an issue if the original profile is a really old

Of course, what you should do with your other programs and folders will

Ok, let me rephrase the question more precisely.

From what application on your old computer are you wanting to transfer
your mail, etc. to what application on the new computer?

Seamonkey ? version to Seamonkey ? version .. Important to know that
information.

For instance, are you going from Seamokey 1.x to 2.x ??

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, 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).


What have I missedummm.

I believe you meant to write abook.mab, not .msf. As you've noted, 
MSF files are simply indexes of mail folders and are automatically 
rebuilt if SM doesn't find them.

Re: new computer problems

[ConnorsGenealogy]

 Okay, thanks everyone for all you help in updating my old computer to 2...  
Yesterday, the new computer came and it has Windows 7 which is very different 
from Windows XP which I am using on the old computer and my laptop.  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.

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

[Pat Connors]

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!

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.

the default locations are different.




Therefore the copy of the SM1 profile (which will be used for the

on the Vista machine.


Why not copy your profile from where you wanted it to where you wanted it!!

Because SM2 installation (not customized) expect an SM1 profile located 
at the SM1 profile default location.

I agree with Pat.
Been using mozbackup for years and it's always worked seamlessly.
It's EASY! That's what I like about it (smile).
It will definitely save from 1.1.15 and reload into 2.1.4

Create a backup of yur entire profile. (the content of the 
SLT-directory, explanation follows)

You can find information about where your profile is located here:
http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/

On your new Computer install Seamonkey 1.1.18 and copy back your profile 
data to the newly created SLT-directory while SM is closed.



As you're running a pretty recent version of Windows i'd recommend to 
update to Seamonkey 2.0.4 first (which migrates your data to a new 
SM2-profile) and copy that new profile over to your new computer (where 
SM would also be used then). That leaves all old garbage behind.

Re: new computer

[Pat Connors]

Thanks much, Martin.  Now I have another question.  I remember when 2 
was first induced that it was recommend that the old program be deleted 
first.  Is that what is still recommended?  If so, do I save my profile 
to another file outside and do like you recommended for the new 
computer.  It will have Windows 7 on it.  Thanks again.

If you want to go to SeaMonkey 2.0.4 you don't need to install Seamonkey 
1.1.18  Only the 1.1.15 profile must be present at the default 
location before installing SeaMonkey 2.0.4.
