To Robert Kaiser, Leonidas Jones, NoOp, Mark Hansen: Clean slate, new
thread. However, it does have to start with the suggestions of Robert
Kaiser. First, I reinstalled 2.0, it seems the profile and the bookmarks
were still there from my first attempt, which did not allow me to
migrate everything that had to do with addressbooks or even Local
Folders.
Yes, I mentioned moving away (I'm always wary of actually deleting) your
2.0 profile folder.
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/2.0/profiles describes where it's
located on different operating system, I believe for you it should be
Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey
(<UserName> is your Windows user name). Try renaming that "SeaMonkey"
folder to something like "SeaMonkey2-obsolete" or such (use a name where
you know later on that it's obsolete and can be removed at some stage).
1.Your followup suggestion to do something with the 2.0 profile, so that
I could start over, I am afraid I cannot figure out where the info is to
either delete or whatever, so that I could get a clean install and start
over again! That is one continuing problem that I think I will just have
to do manually, by typing the addresses all over again, into the 2.0
addressbook!
See my above explanation. It really sounds like something is badly wrong
with your SeaMonkey 2.0 profile, this is not normal behavior.
2.Then I discovered, even after I set up the newsgroup
for Mozilla support.seamonkey, that I could not use that one in ver. 2.0
to enter any messages! NOW, that one I bet, is because I did not
activate something in 2.0, and, may have to do with the fact that 1.1.18
is still my default browser, even though the desktop ICON always brings
up 2.0! How do I correct that, please?
That's strange. If it correctly migrated the old 1.x profile, this
should work - but as we've seen, something strange happened with your
import in any case.
What you can try is creating a new Newsgroup account from "Edit > Mail &
Newsgroups Account Settings..." with the news.mozilla.org server and
then subscribe to this group again from that new account.
3. Another point is, the
folders where incoming mail and newsgroups should be directed to, is
there such a thing anymore as "Local Folders"? If so, how do I activate
it? :-\
It should be there by default, that's another point that makes me
believe something's badly wrong with your profile and if you don't have
any important data in it, you should move it away and re-migrate to
recreate it.
