Use any synchronisation software of your choice or write a simple
batch-file which copies bookmarks.html and the mailbox-files from one
profile to the corresponding profile directory of the other PC.

For profile information have a look here:

I still can't find how to merge or sync the individual mail messages
from one mail folder to another..
Sync programs will merge complete mail files of messages but not the
individual mail messages from one mail file to another..
For example, PC1 has 5 mail messages dated 7/1 while PC2 has 5 mail
messages dated 7/2; how do I sync so both PCs have 10 mail messages
dated 7/1  7/2 ??


Uhoh, that will be more tricky.
The copying the profile-approach assumes that both machines are not 
running at the same time. It assumes you copy your profile after 
finishing you work on one PC to another one and vice versa.


Real synching is not possible that easy. I have to say usually IMAP or 
at least POP3 with the option leave messages on the server until 
deleted is being used (on at least one PC) and not all messages being 
fetched and deleted from the server as this causes a lot more trouble. 
You might consider changing that or switching to IMAP if possible.


If your problem is the getting all mails on one machine just once to 
get started, it's probably the easiest way to send them to yourself 
and filter them (if it's not many) or copy the mailbox-files (inbox 
etc.), renaming them and throwing them into the profile folder of the 
other PC. That should integrate the new folder. This will cause 
duplicates (if existing) of course in different folders, but it's the 
fastest approach. You can then leave them there or move them to 
another folder (e.g. inbox, sent, etc.) from within Semonkey very easily.
After that, perform the steps to leave messages on the server on at 
least one machine mentioned above or switch to IMAP...

Thanks, Martin

I think that leaving messages on the server and auto download on both 
computers will suffice..


Willard :)


Good Idea  this is what i do, with the use of the free program 
called PopTray - who can delete mails on the server.

Another way to go at it:
Rename the mail folders on one PC
(e.g., Inbox = Inbox2, Sent = Sent2, etc.)
Sync the two machines (differently named folders
won't overwrite each other)
Launch SeaMonkey and drag and drop the messages from
the misnamed folders to the correctly named ones
Delete the misnamed folders.

More work, but more accurate.

Best practice, methinks, is never to get/send mail from both computers 
without a sync in between. Use one machine at a time, sync, use the 
other, sync, etc.
