 Hi Martin (and Chris),

 I have the link, and tried hard to follow it, but I must
 be doing
 something wrong. I tried dragging, transferring, etc.,
 but I
 cannot
 move
 my abook. to my SeaMonkey address book. I tried copying,
 and then
 pasting, but the "paste" is always grayed out and
 non-functional.

 I would be most grateful if either of you could walk me
 through the
 steps that I must take to get these hundreds of addresses
 into my
 SeaMonkey address book.

 Thanks again,

 Mort

 Hi again,

 I opened up and tried every "profile" on my hard drive, and
 could not
 move the abook.mab to my SeaMonkey address book. I tried
 dragging,
 to no
 avail. I clicked on copy, but then paste was all grayed out. So
 near and
 yet so far. I have my e-mail set up so that as I send out a
 message, its
 address is automatically added to my SeaMonkey address book.
 However, my
 hundreds of important oldaddresses are still sitting there
 on my
 h.d. in
 narrative form.

Hello Mort,

you need to open the Seamonkey addressbook-window just once
and
then
close ALL seamonkey windows. It needs to be completely closed.

Afterwards you need to open the directory of your old
Seamonkey-profile and copy the abook.mab file. Then paste it
into the
new profile-folder.
All this is done within windows while Seamnkey is closed,
not in
Seaonkey itself and not while Seamonkey is open as the files
would be
in use then.
Good luck!

Martin

Why don't you just google Mozilla Backup from Jasnapak? and
install it
on both computers. Then copy the backup file to a thumb drive,
CD, DVD
or however you want to get the backup file to another
computer the
restore it to the new computer?

Eric

This involves copying anyway, so it doesn't really matter if he

Hi Martin,

I appreciate your help and patience. I did try to take your advice
re. old and new SeaMonkey profiles in Windows XP with SeaMonkey
closed. The closest I came is to find a "SeaMonkey Profile Manager"
which said:
Available Profiles:

default
Mort
Mort app
Mort app ff
Mort local ff

My usual user name is Mort. Right clicking gives nothing, and left
clicking on any of these just opens SeaMonkey. I simply cannot find
my profiles (old, new?) to copy the abook.mab to.As things are, the
old abook.mab file on my hard drive is in narrative form and
thereby
almost useless. The current SeaMonkey Address Book has only
about 30
recent addresses.

Thanks again.

Mort

P.S. For some reason, my laptop refuses to copy sent messages, to
this group only, to my sent folder, and gives my sender name as
invalid or similar. It works to all other recipients. Weird.

Yes it involves copying, but the interface is usually cleaner.

Mort,

If you back up all the profiles and transfer them, then you you
should have everything moved from one computer to the other.

What you are looking for is a file folder with .slz file extension,
however that changes from installation to installation, and for some
unknown reason, I've seen through out many newsgroups, the files
don't play well together.

I wish you luck in your future attempts.

Eric

and, of course, Mort, Eric meant the file extension to be .slt and
the
changes he talks about are that the file name maybe something like
fxgjht5j.slt in one case and something like dsf67kgh.slt in the other
installation. No great problem.

Daniel

Hi Daniel and Eric,

Hi Martin,

Thanks. I've been to that site, but it did not help. I have an old 
address book sitting on my hard drive with abook.mab,in narrative form,

Hi Martin (and Chris),

I have the link, and tried hard to follow it, but I must be 
doing

something wrong. I tried dragging, transferring, etc., but I
cannot
move
my abook. to my SeaMonkey address book. I tried copying, and 
then
pasting, but the "paste" is always grayed out and 
non-functional.


I would be most grateful if either of you could walk me
through the
steps that I must take to get these hundreds of addresses 
into my

SeaMonkey address book.

Thanks again,

Hello Mort,

you need to open the Seamonkey addressbook-window just once and
then
close ALL seamonkey windows. It needs to be completely closed.

Afterwards you need to open the directory of your old
Seamonkey-profile and copy the abook.mab file. Then paste it
into the
new profile-folder.
All this is done within windows while Seamnkey is closed, not in
Seaonkey itself and not while Seamonkey is open as the files
would be
in use then.
Good luck!

Martin


Why don't you just google Mozilla Backup from Jasnapak? and
install it
on both computers. Then copy the backup file to a thumb drive,
CD, DVD
or however you want to get the backup file to another computer the
restore it to the new computer?

Eric


This involves copying anyway, so it doesn't really matter if he
copies
a backup or the abook directly ;-P

Martin

Hi again,

I opened up and tried every "profile" on my hard drive, and could 
not

move the abook.mab to my SeaMonkey address book. I tried dragging,
to no
avail. I clicked on copy, but then paste was all grayed out. So
near and
yet so far. I have my e-mail set up so that as I send out a
message, its
address is automatically added to my SeaMonkey address book.
However, my
hundreds of important oldaddresses are still sitting there on my
h.d. in
narrative form.


I'm repeating myself but just to make things clear: you are not
supposed to drag it on your seamonkey addessbook. You are supposed
to drag/copy it from a folder to another folder in windows itsself
(from your old profile to your new profile).
This is just normal copying of a file, it does _not_ involve a
running seamonkey at that time. Have you done exactly that?

Hi Martin,

I appreciate your help and patience. I did try to take your advice
re. old and new SeaMonkey profiles in Windows XP with SeaMonkey
closed. The closest I came is to find a "SeaMonkey Profile Manager"
which said:
Available Profiles:

default
Mort
Mort app
Mort app ff
Mort local ff

My usual user name is Mort. Right clicking gives nothing, and left
clicking on any of these just opens SeaMonkey. I simply cannot find
my profiles (old, new?) to copy the abook.mab to.As things are, the
old abook.mab file on my hard drive is in narrative form and thereby
almost useless. The current SeaMonkey Address Book has only about 30
recent addresses.

Thanks again.

Mort

P.S. For some reason, my laptop refuses to copy sent messages, to
this group only, to my sent folder, and gives my sender name as
invalid or similar. It works to all other recipients. Weird.


Yes it involves copying, but the interface is usually cleaner.

Mort,

If you back up all the profiles and transfer them, then you you
should have everything moved from one computer to the other.

What you are looking for is a file folder with .slz file extension,
however that changes from installation to installation, and for some
unknown reason, I've seen through out many newsgroups, the files
don't play well together.

I wish you luck in your future attempts.

Eric


and, of course, Mort, Eric meant the file extension to be .slt and the
changes he talks about are that the file name maybe something like
fxgjht5j.slt in one case and something like dsf67kgh.slt in the other
installation. No great problem.

All this is done within windows while Seamnkey is closed, not in
Seaonkey itself and not while Seamonkey is open as the files would be
in use then.
Good luck!

Why don't you just google Mozilla Backup from Jasnapak? and install it
on both computers. Then copy the backup file to a thumb drive, CD, DVD
or however you want to get the backup file to another computer the
restore it to the new computer?

Eric


This involves copying anyway, so it doesn't really matter if he copies
a backup or the abook directly ;-P

Martin

Hi again,

I opened up and tried every "profile" on my hard drive, and could not
move the abook.mab to my SeaMonkey address book. I tried dragging, to no
avail. I clicked on copy, but then paste was all grayed out. So near and
yet so far. I have my e-mail set up so that as I send out a message, its
address is automatically added to my SeaMonkey address book. However, my
hundreds of important oldaddresses are still sitting there on my h.d. in
narrative form.


I'm repeating myself but just to make things clear: you are not supposed 
to drag it on your seamonkey addessbook. You are supposed to drag/copy 
it from a folder to another folder in windows itsself (from your old 
profile to your new profile).
This is just normal copying of a file, it does _not_ involve a running 
seamonkey at that time. Have you done exactly that?

regards

Martin

Hi Martin (and Chris),

I have the link, and tried hard to follow it, but I must be doing
something wrong. I tried dragging, transferring, etc., but I cannot 
move

my abook. to my SeaMonkey address book. I tried copying, and then
pasting, but the "paste" is always grayed out and non-functional.

I would be most grateful if either of you could walk me through the
steps that I must take to get these hundreds of addresses into my
SeaMonkey address book.

Thanks again,

Mort


Hello Mort,

you need to open the Seamonkey addressbook-window just once and then
close ALL seamonkey windows. It needs to be completely closed.

Afterwards you need to open the directory of your old
Seamonkey-profile and copy the abook.mab file. Then paste it into the
new profile-folder.
All this is done within windows while Seamnkey is closed, not in
Seaonkey itself and not while Seamonkey is open as the files would be
in use then.
Good luck!

Thanks Martin. I'll try it. I'm so upset at the havoc wreaked by the
guy who was "fixing" my laptop. I have to recreate or restore my
address book, most of my programs, my bookmarks, etc..All this despite
doing regular external backups, etc..
Thanks again.
