Can you give a whole lot more information about your setup and what
you are trying to accomplish? Your question as stated is requiring us
to guess way to much.

For instance: PC-1 Profile-A has messages dated 2-11-10 in the Inbox,
Drafts, Templets, Sent, Trash...
PC-2 Profile-A has messages dated 2-10-10 in the Inbox, Drafts,
Templets, Sent, Trash...
How can I add all of the PC-1 2-11-10 messages to PC-2 Profile-A, and
all of the PC-2 2-10-10 messages to PC-1 Profile-A; using a flash drive
to copy to and from PC-1 to PC-2???
You still don't tell us whether these are POP or IMAP accounts. I
assume POP, since IMAP mail would almost certainly be left on the server.
Navigate to your profile folder on one of the computers, find the mail
subfolder then the subfolder for the account from which you wish to
transfer data.
Copy the files Inbox, Drafts, Sent, whatever, without extension. Copy
these files to your flash drive. Rename them to something like
Oldinbox, etc.
Paste these renamed files into the profile of your second computer,
alongside the existing Inbox, etc. Open SeaMonkey.
You will see new folders in your folderpane, called Oldinbox, etc. Drag
and drop messages to reorganize them as you wish. You then recopy the
combined files and transfer them to the original computer.
To simplify this in the future, set one of the machines to leave a copy
of messages on the server. Make sure that machine has received the
messages before downloading them on the other machine, which would
remove them from the server. There is no convenient way to do this for
Drafts and Sent folders etc. at least on a POP account.
If the two machine are on a local network, it is possible to have both
machines point to a common profile on a shared network drive. However,
this does cause a very noticeable performance slowdown.
The ultimate answer for this kind of synching is to switch to IMAP
accounts, where all these folders are stored on the server, and thus
available on any computer.
