Thanks for the good wishes, David. But, I have one more question before
I set up my new computer...I have the profile folder copied and no
problems getting my mail folders and filters. But, how do I actually get
all the actual emails I have read and not read and saving in the various
folders copied from the old computer to copy into the new computer? They
have been downloaded from my mail server (ATT-Yahoo). Thanks in advance
plus thanks for all the help I have received on this list.
PS I love the new Seamonkey. Everyday I do something that reveals a new
feature.
Good luck with the new computer, Pat. At least you know where to come if
you have problems with your SeaMonkey!
Pat, in your new mail account you will have a folder called "inbox"
(without the inverted commas and without the ".xxx" bit), and in your
old mail account you will also have a file called "inbox" (without the
inverted commas and without the ".xxx" bit).
If you just move the old inbox to the location of the new inbox, you
will lose any new mail you may have downloaded into your new inbox, so,
in Windows Explorer or whatever, change the name of your old inbox
folder to oldinbox or whatever.
Don't worry about the inbox.msf (or any of the .msf files for that
matter, these can be re-written when needed.
Now move the oldinbox to the same location as the new inbox. Open SM and
make sure that the oldinbox is now showing up in your profile along with
the new inbox. If it does, then drag and drop the emails from oldinbox
into the inbox, or wherever else you what them, then delete the folder.
Do a similar process for the other folders in the old mail account
...rename the folder, move the folder, move the folder contents, delete
the folder. Of course if the old folder is empty, there is no need to
touch it.
Other files that you may need to move from the old profile to the new
are abook.msf (contains all your e-mail addresses) and addressbook.html
(contains all your favourite web sites).
What have I missed....ummm.....
