John, All the e-mail (and all the settings, etc.) is stored in the "profile". Is it correct that SM 1.X stores the profile (by default) in a location that is different from the default location used by SM 2.X When you install SM 2.X, it will automatically migrate your SM 1.x profile. This means it will take all your settings, e-mail, etc. from the SM 1.X profile and copy it to your new SM 2.X profile. Note that this process will not modify your SM 1.X profile. If necessary, you can still run SM 1.X and access the original profile. Without taking some precautions, you cannot run both SM 2.X alongside SM 1.X, so you should plan to install 2.X, migrate the profile across, then never run SM 1.X again. I've seen many reports of people having problems with the migration, so after doing it, you should run SM 2.X and make sure everything is there: e-mail, address book, passwords, bookmarks, etc. If anything is missing, you can come back here for help. Note that I've also seen many reports here from people who've said the migration went without any problems at all, so good luck. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
