Hi Ray, Almost twenty years ago i got a 386. I was experienced on DOS-VSE, but the IBM PC DOS I was suddenly exposed to was much different -- closer to VM's Conversational Monitor System. What I did find was that a file was still a file -- even if it was ASCII instead of EBCDICand through it all, 4th generation languages were much the same... jim ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: Unable to import seamonkey 1.x to Seamonkey 2.0
All the users email is on one server they access it through SSH. What I mean is that seemingly to move to 2.x will mean huge loss of features and all kinds of tricks to use 2.x I never said users must set up their own email, and they do not here. It is all on one server. I think you place words in my mouth.

When I first started contributing to Flashblock, not even to SeaMonkey (or Mozilla Suite at that time) the languages I knew were RPG III, PL/SQL, xBase (Clipper, FoxPro, xHarbour), a bit of TurboPascal, FORTRAN, COBOL. At university I learnt Algol68 and BCPL. Fast forward five years later and I've suddenly become the Flashblock owner *and* am listed as a active SeaMonkey developer. Go figure.

Re: Unable to import seamonkey 1.x to Seamonkey 2.0
Does this mean that, it is eventually the end of all 1.x mail? What about all my filters? Stored Passwords? etc I use this in a corporate environment and it is going to be very painful to tell everyone that this is now the end of their email and they will have to completely start from scratch setting up everything. I think it is a bit irresponsible to just drop all users on the path to 2.0. Sure it is trivial for me to write a bash script to do all you mention below but I am not so sure it will be easy to decipher how to create the same user accounts and folders on 2.0 before the script is used for the migration. And how about filters? Can anyone tell me if filters can be imported? This is pretty serious as they work really great for me as I currently filter on one account and copy the filters to all user accounts which works very nicely. Almost no spam. If full import from 1.9 to 2.0 is not possible, anyone interested in forking development along 1.x ? I guess it will be only us Linux users who want to fork as on Win you lose your data typically within a year anyway, so 2.0 makes more sense for windows.

Unable to import seamonkey 1.x to Seamonkey 2.0
SeaMonkey 2.0 fails to import all my mail folders and everything ticked in the selection what should be imported. After it imports and correctly finds the correct profile, it just still shows blank mail folders. If I restart SeaMonkey mail, it asks me again if I want to configure email!? This repeatable and it just doesn't want to import any mail. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
