Upgrade to 2.04
I'm running a Dell computer with 3GHz processor, 2 G Ram and WinXP Pro SP2. I now have Mozilla 1.7.8 and want to upgrade to Seamonkey 2.04. Will that upgrade or do I have to go through a Seamonkey 1.x first? Thanks Henry ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Will that upgrade or do I have to go through a Seamonkey 1.x first? Thanks Henry I'd wait for more responses from people more knowledgeable than me, but... No, you don't have to go thru Seamonkey 1.x to get to 2.x I don't know how well Seamonkey will behave importing everything from your existing Mozilla installation, so my suggestion is carefully to back up your existing files (especially your bookmarks and email) first. You can do so using Mozbackup (if you're on Windows) or manually. You can then run the Seamonkey 2.x installation and see if it finds / migrates your files. If it doesn't, you can get them from your backup (and your original Mozilla installation should still be there too, for that matter). Personally, for such a major change, I have always done a completely new installation without migration, used Seamonkey to do basic new account setup (including email), and then copied my old mail folder contents (and bookmarks) into the new. But that's just my method, which I realize won't work or is too complicated for many. I presume you really mean the latest Seamonkey (2.0.6) rather than having some particular reason to go with 2.0.4. But if you do want 2.0.4 and have the install program, what I say above should work either way.

Everything came through, including the Microsoft Favorites and address book (which I promptly deleted). Note that my profile was in the default location. The one glitch I caused myself, by choosing use existing home page over use Seamonkey home page, thinking that my existing home page maybe hadn't converted (couldn't check at that point). It had, with no problem. Figured out what I'd done, fixed it, and have been delighted with SM.

Re: Upgrade to 2.04
Have you considered updating to 2.0.6 while you are going
through the hassle?

Re: Upgrade to 2.04
The reason I didn't consider 2.0.6 is that usually when new versions come out they are buggy and it takes awhile for the bugs to get worked out.

Re: Upgrade to 2.04
My understanding was it was a bug-fix and a security-update,
not really a new version.
Am I misunderstanding their numbering protocol?

There should be no new features. This should be a stability and security fix. Stability means that some important bugs have been fixed. Security means that the developers concentrated on fixing bugs that relate to being vulnerable to malware. The next version with some new capabilities will likely be 2.1 (NOT 2.0.1). -- David E.
