This does not happen for me (either for Imap or News).
Every mail-account (there are around 10 in this profile) has "Keep messages for this account on this computer" checked and seems to start duplicating the mail store right away. This is a very bad idea. But I have noticed some other problems in the migration process: * The profile is in the users home directory in our case, but the cache folder was on a local harddrive. The migration moved the cache directory back in the profile directory and thus on a mapped network drive, which is bad. * The location of the signature files of the mail accounts was changend and the sig-files themselves were copied into the profile directory. Bad because the sigs are shared with several users and should stay in their place on the network, so changes have to be made only once and not for every user. These two problems could be solved by copying the old prefs.js from SM 1.118 over the "migrated" one. I dont no yet if that creates other problems though. * Auto-update and extension installation is enabled. I dont want this, because the installation is also shared and maintained on a network drive. This needs to be turned off centrally. * "Keep messages for this account on this computer" enabled. I dont know which problems are still lurking undiscovered. What I need is a solution to convert around 20 user-profiles without any user intervention. The users should just get SM2 in place of 1.1.18 with all setting premigrated. I have read http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_migration_-_SeaMonkey but that doesn't cover all these issues in depth. -- Matthias _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
