I tried that several times. SM never asked about importing
anything. Ended up with no identities. I'll give it one
more go, than I'll stay with 1.1.18.

I tried that a number of times.  Each time i ended up with profile from
back in May, not the one 1.1.18 was using.  After removing that profile
from disk I haven't been able to get 2.0 running at all.  Never asked
for the import wizard and using seamonkey.exe -migration had no effect
at all.  Now it tells me SM is running no matter what I do when I try to
start it.  I'm also back on 1.1.18.

SM 1.1.18 and 2.0

2009-10-28 Thread Frosted Flake
After installing 2.0 and migrating what I want from 1.1.18, I now have 
two SM versions.
Can I just use Add/Remove programs to get rid of 1.1.18 without messing 
up 2.0?

Yes.  When are sure you don't need it, you might want to delete the old 
profile folder as well.

SM 1.1.18 to 2.0

2009-10-28 Thread cciaffone

Can someone please point me to a simplified procedure
to convert from 1.8 to 2.0, including email folders,
nicknames and addys, newsgroups, the url history list,
bookmarks, mail and news servers, etc.

I would like to try the procedure on a spare
machine before starting on the rest of our herd.

thanks

 Yes.  When are sure you don't need it, you might want to delete the old

Not quite. At least in my Windows, the uninstaller for 1.1.18 ended up
deleting the shortcuts for 2.0, and also disassociating SM from being
default browser and default mail client.

But reinstalling SM 2.0 over the previous installation took care of the
glitch.

OK. Best procedure would go as follows:

1. If you have a Seamonkey 2.0 alpha/beta/RC/nightly installed,
uninstall it. Also, if you don't have any important data, delete the
Seamonkey 2 profile folders.

2. Check if you have enough free disk space, because the old profile
will be *copied*, not modified. This is particularly important if you
have a lot of archived e-mail messages. In my case, for instance, my SM
profile is about one and a half gigabytes. So I made sure I had at least
2 gigs free before beginning.

3. Just to be sure, back up your old Seamonkey profile. *I* had no
trouble, but some people complained about losing data.

4. Uninstall Seamonkey 1.1.18. Do *not* delete the old profiles.

5. Install Seamonkey 2.0. It should offer to convert (copy) your old
profile automatically.

6. Once you are satisfied that everything migrated normally, delete your
old profile.

 Nope, never offered any such. I have now lost 3 accounts with email
 newsgroups bookmarks and history. Nothing remains. I am back to square 1.
 

Well, in that case, try migrating manually. Close Seamonkey and then
open the Profile Manager, and use it to import your old profile.
