Don't care about familiarity, but I do care about the other aspects mentioned below, like ability to take over my old Mozilla 1.7.13 stuff. Any dos and don'ts that I should be aware of? Back-up your profile, just in case. Uninstall Mozilla 1.7.13, then install SeaMonkey 1.1.14. Will all this be correctly imported into SeaMonkey? 1.1? 2.0? Yes for 1.1.14. Not so certain with SM 2.0, depending on your configuration. SeaMonkey uses the exact same profile format, so it will start using them as normal. Many thanks for your input, all of you who replied!

You may try; it should work, but before, backup your profile in case of problem. -- John Doue ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Any dos and don'ts that I should be aware of? My old Mozilla profile has about ten e-mail accounts and five-or-so newsgroup accounts, one of which requires authentication to post messages. The old Mozilla profile has a huge LocalFolders tree with about 10 Gbyte of data in it, divided into hundreds of folders. It also has several filters for incoming e-mail due to mailing list subscriptions. Will all this be correctly imported into SeaMonkey? 1.1? 2.0? Can I keep using Mozilla in parallel? In that case, will SeaMonkey clone/copy the local folders with all content or just reference the Mozilla local folders? Mozilla used to store message folders in a plaintext format which was sometimes very handy, e.g. when something got corrupted it was easy to fix it by hacking the text file. How are folders stored in SeaMonkey? Anything else I should know about or consider before upgrading? Thanks! Kjell install SM 1.1.14. It will NOT import your Moz profile. Instead, it will pick up and start using your current Moz profile. As a matter of fact, you won't notice much of a difference. -- *IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but I cannot provide email help Emails to me may become public Notice: This posting is protected under the Free Speech Laws, which applies everywhere in the FREE world, except for some strange reason, not to the mozilla.org newsgroup servers, where your posting may get you banned.
