Interim response from Ken (in Oz) to the posts here so far.
Guys, your thoughts have been very welcome. I'm not a tech whiz, so I
may have to wait to do much until the middle of next week when a friend
can come and help out.
For example, I don't really understand cybercitizen's reference to
locating 'local folders' under Netscape [or SeaMonkey] hierarchy and
then suppressing the .msf files, if any.
Cyberzen's using a false friend (faux ami) -- "suppress" sounds like the
French "supprimer," which means "delete, remove," but we don't use
"suppress" that way in English.
As for the .msf files, they're only indexes, so it's fine to delete
them, either before or after copying or moving. Either Netscape or
SeaMonkey would automatically recreate them if they were absent.
My chief concern here is that we've heard a lot of chatter over the past
year about the changes in file structure between SM 1 and 2, so that v.2
couldn't just use the v.1 files as is, but had to import and rework them
and save them in a new location in the new format. I would assume that
simply dropping NS mail folders into an SM 2 folder tree ("hierarchy")
wouldn't work because of that format difference; instead, I would try to
import them using SeaMonkey's import tool.
tank you for explaining my misuse of delete word
the files under Mail folder are mailboxes (those without extension)
hopefully the layout did not change
the *.msf ones are indexes that should be rebuilt
