BUT I *MUST* have access to the same set of mails and Usenet accounts 
[including status, flag, very customized tags, etc].

How?

Newbie to this NG.
I've been doing this for years on WXPSP3 and had to figure out how to do it 
with W8.1Pro
I copied profile.ini to the default windows user profile that gets created for 
each new windows user.
WXP:   C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Application

Not by design.
It's more a case of diverse projects from side issues of speech 
recognition, GPS, and being 'tech support' for friends 
influencing primary and secondary goals and means.

IOW a complete stew.



Reason I ask is that I duel boot Windows 7 with Mageia Linux and
have SeaMonkey installed on both systems.

I then share the one set of Profile files, which are on my
Windows G\:, with both SeaMonkey installations.

The reason I but the profile files on a Windows partition is
because my Mageia Linux can "see" my Windows drives, but my
Windows cannot "see" my Linux mounts!!

I'm sorry my brain can't deal with this.  So I'll say that the OP
is asking for something that can't be done outside of what I've
suggested.

Users frequently ask for that: Functionality that doens't exist.

The OP, as I read this, hasn't replied so I can't be sure.



I had had only a brief glance at thread between your previous 
post and this morning.
I had a faulty memory of the Mozillazine article having last seen 
it when moving from SeaMonkey version 1.? to version 2. Read the 
complete article over my morning cup of coffee.


It and the reminders in intervening posts of functionality 
available with pref.js and user.js allow me a *TESTED* solution 
for email. I will have to run tests to see just how well it works 
for USENET. I suspect I may have to download to local storage.


I should have test results sometime tomorrow.
Just 'cause I'm retired doesn't mean I spend ALL day at the 
keyboard ;/

THANK YOU ALL.

_Sharing Mail directories_

Go to: Edit -> Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings ->  -> Server Settings.

Under the "Local directory" field, you'll see a file path. You
can make two or more more profiles share the same mail directory
by setting each account to the same file path in the local
directory field.



Create a new profile and migrate your email and news.




Then make whatever changes you want.




The problem with that is after he has migrated the mail and news, he
says it doesn't migrate the 12 customized tags to the 2nd profile.

Also, as I understand it, if he reads mail, tags mail, flags mail in
profile #1,  he wants it to be displayed in profile #2 already
downloaded, tagged, flagged, marked as read, etc.

I don't think that is even possible.

Why wouldn't it be? If both profiles are pointing to the same mail
folder, they should read the same content, including any tags. It would
only be a problem if both profiles were open at the same time, competing
to read/write the same files.


It looks like the tag names, colours, etc. are defined in prefs.js / 
about:config for the profile (mailnews.tags.*). e.g. for one of the 
default labels in my profile:

  user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label3.color", "#009900");
  user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label3.tag", "Personal");
When tagging an email, a reference to the internal tag name is added to 
the headers in the mail file, e.g.:

  X-Mozilla-Keys: $label3

If you've defined custom labels, and then reference the same mail file 
from a different profile, that profile won't know what the extra labels are.


If your set of labels is fairly constant, I guess it should work to 
define the same labels in both profiles and then both would know what 
$label3 or whatever means. You'd probably need to do that by editing 
prefs.js or about:config, to ensure the same label gets the same 
internal name. Probably not practical if you're constantly defining new 
labels though.

The custom tag bit flag would be in the shared mail folder, but the 
second profile would need copy the flag mnemonics recorded in the prefs.js


user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label5.tag", "Your custom flag");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label5.color", "#993399");
...



So provide the instructions on how two separate profiles can point to
the same mail folder. Richard thanks you.

Well, then, I spose the way to go would be to have both profiles
point to the same mail folders. Obviously, you must not have both
profiles open at the same time.



_*HOW*_ ?



_*Why?

*_Work_**_on browser project #1 with the Mail & Newsgroups profile.

Work on browser project #2 with just a browser profile.



*NO*

Question itself *EXPLICITLY* eliminates that as being acceptable!




Create a profile just for Mail & Newsgroups, start it with
whatever command Windows uses to start just that window, and use
it for both browser projects, while having separate profiles for
each browser project.

How? This might help.

   _*[including status, flag, very customized tags, etc]*_



Looks like nobody knows how, or isn't inclined to experiment creating 
customized tags, status, flags, etc in one profile and figuring out how 
to move it all to another.


Too complicated for me to attempt, and I have experimented to help solve 
problems in the past.


Heck, SeaMonkey is too complicated to setup an email account in for me. 
I have no idea what the port numbers are. Thunderbird finds and enters 
that information for me.


Good luck!

No, it really doesn't. Read the second subhead in the linked
section:



*IT IGNORES A _CRITICAL_ !!!REQUIREMENT!!!* that I keep repeating
to wit
"BUT I *MUST* have access to the same set of mails and Usenet 
accounts [including status, flag, very customized tags, etc]. "


I have a dozen _*!!!customized!!!*_ tags. They are *CRITICAL* to 
me!!
Tagging info does not come across. Only the 10 default tags 
available.

As a minor annoyance it loses my current user name and server name.






_Sharing Mail directories_

Go to: Edit -> Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings ->  -> Server Settings.

Under the "Local directory" field, you'll see a file path. You
can make two or more more profiles share the same mail directory
by setting each account to the same file path in the local
directory field.

Mail and newsgroups do not involve the browser.  If you mean that you
want the browser to work when you click a link in either mail or
newsgroup message, that should work regardless.



No, I think Owlett wants to be able to switch browser profiles without
losing the current mail-news session (without switching mail-news
profile).



That is the idea. Your phrasing may be a little more restrictive 
than what I'm thinking of.
