If the new PC is blank or the old installation does not be 
preserved 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\mozilla dir on the new pc before unpacking. Same 
with roaming\Thunderbird.

Otherwise they talk about copying the profile folder contents. 
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


Thank you.  I am surprized that this sort of backup of profile tool is 
not in the suite.

Remenber to do those kind of copy when SM is not running.
You may write a batch file to do the copy.
