Re: SeaMonkey Sync
Firefox now uses sync 1.5. The old sync is 1.1 and discontinued. You might be able to set up your own sync 1.1 server but the code has been gutted in the latest versions. Not sure if it still works in 2.49.1 Porting 1.5 probably will never happen or not in the near future. Tightly integrated with the Firefox browser, needs a Firefox account and complicated api (if you can even call this an api).

Jay O'Brien Depends on whether the two computers use same OS. If, for instance, they are both Windows 7, you can simply copy the profile directory from one to the other. If not, say the master is W7 and the slave is XP, you can do the same but need to then edit the prefs.js file on the XP system. For instance: You can copy the master Win7 profile over the laptop profile on the Win XP machine to sync the profiles. However, to account for the different profile locations between W7 and WXP, (with SM closed) you then must edit prefs.js on the laptop. Search and replace all instances of: Users[user]AppDataRoamingMozillaSeaMonkeyProfiles with: Documents and Settings[user]Application DataMozillaSeaMonkeyProfiles and: Users\\[user]\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\SeaMonkey\\Profiles\\ with: Documents and Settings\\[user]\\Application Data\\Mozilla\\SeaMonkey\\Profiles\\ Substitute [user] with the appropriate User account name in the OS. I've acutally got a macro which does this for me in a click. And it's much better if the email accounts are IMAP which makes synchronizing a breeze. -- Ed Mullen http://edmullen.net/ Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. - H. L.

Re: SeaMonkey Sync
Evidently, I did this months ago without knowing what it was and forgot about it. (Memory is not all me being dense, terminal cancer patient with daily heavy drugs.) Thank you for your response. I have figured out what I did and solved that problem. The purpose of trying to figure out Sync was to get the Lightning Calendars to Sync. There appears to be buttons for this but I can't seem to make them work. I suspect it is because I don't know how they are supposed to operate but I can't be sure as Lightning is a work in progress. Is the Sync Calendars button actually operable? If so, exactly how is it supposed to work. I can't find this information anywhere. Granted, I probably don't know where to look as I am new to this list but maybe I could get a break and some information.
