I am usually using zip -r -S with the whole mozilla dir in roaming. 
If SeaMonkey has already been installed just delete the complete

roaming\Thunderbird.

Should that work ok with Seamonkey?



YES

I should copy what's inside this directory:"
C:\Users\tit_p\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ey8r9gln.default\ 



Or you copy
C:\Users\tit_p\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\

note "tit-p" is my user-account-name.


In addition to "tit-p" isn't "ey8r9gln"  user unique?
Yes, that's correct.Except that's not user unique but the default 
"profile-unique"
You should copy after or 2 levels before because this strange string is 
present in the text of the profiles.ini file located in the SeaMonkey 
directory

like this:  Path=Profiles/ey8r9gln.default

Re: G-Mail Security

My usual POP access to my G-Mail was blocked this AM, with a message 
referring me to the following explanation:


If an app or device doesn’t meet our security standards, Google will 
block anyone who tries to sign in from that app or device. Because 
these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps 
keep your account safe.


Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security 
standards include:


    The Mail app on your iPhone or iPad with version 6 or below
    The Mail app on your Windows phone preceding the 8.1 release
    Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla 
Thunderbird


What exactly is Google considering insecure about Mozilla-based mail 
clients?


To restore access I had to change a G-Mail setting to allow access by 
insecure apps.





Same thing: made my hair stand on end (ok, hairs) - eventually I changed 
password on all devices.

Fair points.

So why should we care if our connection to Google is secure? It's just a 
search engine.




Hmm-mm, both my check-boxes  for certificates are checked and I have no 
problem with https://www.google.com


Now, Google is way more than a "search engine" - it is an archive AND 
accumulates information on what users search for and about. And now it 
listens to every conversation near a Google Home! Home + Dot + Echo 
devices now sell at the rate of  one a second! (or so they tell me)

Re: V2.48 Security Certificate Problem

Is this likely to be because SM 2.48 needs updating, a Kaspersky 
problem, or something else?


Thanks, in advance, for advice, fix suggestions, and/or guidance.


First, thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

I upgraded to SM v.2.49 but the problem didn't go away.  Then, the Xmas 
holidays intervened followed by a bad case of influenza.


Interestingly, Windows Update also stopped working about December 1, 
2017 on my Win 7 machine.  That turned out to be a slight blessing as I 
didn't have to contend with the bad Intel/Microsoft Spectre/Meltdown 
patches that screwed up things for lots of folks.


The fix I found was to deinstall Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) 2017 
and go back to KIS 2016.  With KIS 2016, all of the security certificate 
errors ceased.


My suspicion - untested at this point - is that KIS 2017 contained a 
preliminary fix required by the Intel/Microsoft Spectre/Meltdown patch 
and thus caused some sort of conflict with an unpatched (i.e. after 
December 1) Win 7 system.  Who knows?  Bad timing?





WFM: I am using SM 2.49.1 and Kaspersky 2017 (KIS 17.0.0.611(j)) with no 
certificate errors.  All Windows updates through 1/18/2018 applied.

maybe because of this?

does windows update work for you now?

Maybe your KIS 2017 install didn't work quite right and/or KIS 2016
isn't playing man-in-the middle with all of your web traffic?  Can you
try this
go to https://www.google.com
click on the lock icon on the bottom right of the SeaMonkey window
you should get a 'Page Info' popup with the Security tab highlighted
click on View Certificate
click on Details
is the Certificate Hierarchy
  GeoTrust Global CA
Google Internet Authority G2
  www.google.com

I'm wondering if KIS 2016 is intercepting all of your web traffic or not..

Lee
