Because of a need to install a replacement hard drive on my wife's 966
mHz P3 PC, I am thinking of moving her from SM v.1.1.14 to SM v.2.01.
1) Is there a good discussion around somewhere addressing the pros and
cons of SM v.1.1.18 vs SM v.2.01?
2) What do I need particularly save in such a move to either SM v.1.1.18
or SM v.2.01? I have located the existing SM v.1.1.14 mail files and
copied them. Or, should I simply save the entire profile folder to a
CD-R and copy it into the equivalent place in either SM v.1.1.18 or SM
v.2.01? Where do I find the SM v.1.1.14 address book and bookmark files?
3) I have a dim recollection that there are migration issues when moving
from SM 1.x to SM 2.x. Is there a good tutorial on what these are if, in
fact, there such migration issues?
Thanks, in advance, for any and all assistance. Now, into my 70s, I find
keeping up with all the things one needs to know a bit harder than it
used to be.
Henrik, I'm part way through migrating myself from a Desktop computer to
a Laptop, so chose this time to migrate From SM 1.1.18 to SM 2.0.0.
All I did was install SN 2.0.0 on the Laptop, then copy the
addressbook.html (website addresses) and abook.mab (email addresses)
files from the old profile to the new.
Yet to actually copy over all my old mail files, but expect no problems
as long as I remember to rename the old mail folders to oldinbox,
oldsent, etc and copy them onto the new computer at the same location as
the new inbox, sent, etc. There is no need to rename and copy the
"inbox.msf", etc, files, s these are rebuilt on the new computer when
you select the renamed "oldinbox", etc.
