I can't work out how to move either individual mail messages or complete
mail folders between two PCs both running SeaMonkey 2.04.
I can copy and move the whole profile, but that seems cumbersome, and
isn't what I want to do. I want a complete record of emails on one
computer, but I sometimes have to download them on the other machine -
and then I need to transfer them. But how?
Any suggestions, please?

First set the version of SeaMonkey on the machine you don't want to keep
records so that you can read but leaves the messages on the server. And
also not to check for email That would be in Mail & news account
settings. Then click on the disconnect cable icon at bottom of screen
(or whatever and where ever the disconnect item is down load any items
before going off air.
Next on your computer locate the profile in use for SeaMonkey and open
the Mail Directory. Next copy the inbox of each email account to the
desktop. Now change the name by adding a *1* or an *a* to the end.
Save these to a USB Stick. On your other computer. Open your profile and
drop the save items into mail directory.
Start SM on this computer and go to Mail. these items you transferred
should now show up and you can read them if you want to drag and drop
the contents of the new items into your inbox. (if your computer allows
drag and drop)
Do not copy the .msf files they are regenerated the first time you open
an item up.
