I'm still running Mozilla ver 1.7.8 and I would like to upgrade to
SeaMonkey. When I look at my Mozilla profile however, I am reluctant to
upgrade and I would like advice from some knowledgeable people. I have
put two Images on http://profile.imageshack.us/user/wa0goz/ to try and
show my concerns. They are both of my profile. Click on the images twice
to enlarge for clarity.
1. Notice I have two .slt files. Which one is correct and will having
two give me problems when I upgrade?
If you drill down to the contents of the two folders, one will have
files dated today and one will have only older files. That should tell
you which is current.
2. My *present* ISP is *Comcast*. If you look at the mail.comcast.net
folder you will see that the files are empty.
3. My past ISP was tcq.net. If you look at pop.tcq.net you will notice
that the files have my email in them. I don't know how this can be,
because I haven't been with tcq.net for years. I can't imagine them
allowing my email to go through them.
Depending on how your filters are set up, messages can be in any folder,
even the "wrong" account. Doesn't mean they went through tcq's mail
server. For example, you may have moved a folder from one account to
another (within the same profile), and if you did, SeaMonkey would have
automatically updated any applicable filters to point to the new location.
My concern is what will happen if I try to upgrade and import my profile
into the new SeaMonkey?
If you have several accounts but only one profile, you should be fine.
If it sees more than one profile, it will ask you to choose (by
human-readable name, not the alphabet soup used to name the .slt file)
and ignore the other one.
You didn't look at the profiles I posted. My real ISP, Comcast, has email
files dated 7/14/2007, while my old ISP, tcq.net, has email dated with files
dated Dec. 2010 and Jan. 2011.
The one .slt folder has a cache folder with files dated Jan. 2011 while the
.slt folder has files dated 2006 to 2011.
Will moving to SeaMonkey fix the errors that are in my profile and which
profile will it pick up?
