In any case, are there certain file names and/or formats
that are different from 1.1.18 to 2.0?? Can I look in the
folders and files and find some 2.0 marker??
What exactly is the difference in migration and merely coping?

I also got the impression from some earlier discussion that copying IS
one way of doing a migration, although it is not clear that it is the
same or different from using the migration wizard.
In fact, I just did an in-place "migration" of a 10GB+ profile (almost
all mail files of course) by creating a new SM 2 profile and then
totally replacing it with the old profile and starting SM 2. This
seemed to do almost everything necessary except that reading News
wouldn't work, so I just deleted all the News .msf files and let it
re-create them.
Clearly this isn't the "supported" way of doing a migration but does
work, mostly. Obviously some thought and programming went into the case
of "SM2 wakes up and finds it has SM 1 files".
