A little more >complicated than your approach. Yes, it sounds like your approach was more 'in-depth' than mine, which was of a more experimental nature in the vein of "I can, therefore I will...." As to your original statement note that I said "had shared". :-) Yesterday morning, after I had written this, I bit the bullet so to speak and went into prefs.js and pointed SM 2.0's bookmarks location to my latest SM 1.1.x bookmarks file. Worked great, less filling -- the personal toolbar of a hundred or so bookmarks automagically repopulated. **** Otherwise, I am stymied on the outgoing server properties, I have a feeling it is ATT-Yahoo's servers now............... I have tried the known fixes and a couple of permutations to no avail. IOW, in SM 2.0 I can receive like gangbusters, but can not send a thing........ I just used OE 5.0 (yuk!) in a virtual machine to send email after SM 1.0. (no kidding, release January, 2006)in that machine failed on send. jim _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
