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. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
