I thought I would try putting my laptop SM files on a flash drive, since
my external back up drive that I use for my desktop is on another floor,
and they are the only files I care about on this laptop. However, I
can't find my current mail/news files now.

I've found the SeaMonkey2 folder under Program Manager, but I can't find
the "current" files for the profile/mail/news, etc.. Under Documents &
Settings, I have files that are dated 2009. That can't be my current
data, can it?

Also I haven't used flash drives before, so is it harder than I might be
thinking, to use them for backup. Do I need special software, or can I
just copy the files on there and copy them off, when/if needed? Also can
you just re-write over them, or should they be erased before updating?
LOL... or does it depend on the drive?
TIA... for any responses.

You might try MozBackup to extract and then compress your profile on your flash drive. I don't know anyone who has successfully used MozBackup to restore their profiles, but it sounds real good. I have it installed and saved several profiles, but have not had the need to restore my profiles.
