Yes, those sure look correct. > > I presume that making a backup would involve copying everything from > line 1 through the end of this presentation to a location on my "E" > drive. Is that correct? Yes, that's a good approach. You probably could limit the backup to the 1.1.18, but let's be paranoid and get everything. Better safe than sorry and all that. > Once the backup has been made, I would then proceed to the "Profile > Manager" to delete my SeaMonkey 2.0.3 "default" profile.

Actually, I'm not sure if it will delete the files from the disk. Maybe it will just ignore those files from now one. You should check later, and delete if necessary. But anyway, not having the old profile listed might be enough to satisfy Mozilla. > Your instructions at this point are a little confusing to me. > MCBastos indicates that I should "Use the Profile Manager to import the > profile from my 1.1.18 installation.

I think you are supposed to start the import process without creating a profile. Mark's explanation is probably more correct than mine in this particular. > Mark Hansen indicates that once the 2.0.3 "default" profile is gone, I > can then launch SM 2.x again and it will ask if I want to migrate my > 1.1.18 profile information to a new 2.0.3 profile. Is this correct? > The migration of this information during installation of 2.0.3 worked > just fine, so let's hope that process will go smoothly again. Yeah, that sounds right. If you don't have a default profile, Seamonkey will ask you if you want to create one or import one. I guess I goofed. > Once the new profile is established for 2.0.3, I will change the > settings in 1.1.18 to check "Leave messages on the server" and uncheck > "Leave messages on the server' on 2.0.3.

That's right. Only, I would change this setting right *before* migration, right before closing 1.1.18 for the last time. The reason for this is that, if a message arrives after you close 2.0.3 and before you open 1.1.18 post-migration, you don't want 1.1.18 to delete that from the server. > I hope, with knowing the answers to the above, I can make SeaMonkey > 2.0.3 my default browser.
