I know this has been asked before, but how do I get emails from one PC

messages. The PCs are not connected to each other. (I just got a new PC
yesterday -- the messages are on the old PC -- this is the last SM
related item I need to move over).
TIA

Jim, select "Server Settings" for you email account on
Edit->Mail&Newsgroup Account Setting screen for your email account and
have a look at the "Local Directory" location. This is where your email
account is located and your received emails are contained in the "Inbox"
folder and your outgoing emails are in the "sent" folders.
Rename these folders to "oldinbox" and "oldsent" or whatever you want,
copy them to a flash drive and then copy them into the profile on your
new PC, similar location to where they came from.
Job Done.
Remember if you done change the names of the "inbox" and "sent", when
you copy them onto the new computer, they will overwrite the "inbox" and
"sent" folders already on the new computer.

Thanks Daniel

Hi!
Will this remedy also work when trying to move emails from one earlier
version of SM to the current one on the SAME computer?
I've been using SM v1.18 because of its stability and tried once before
to move emails from one hard drive to another with SM 2.xx
and I was only able to move one of four email accounts.
Thanks for your pending response.

Cliff, if memory serves me right (and trust me, that's not a given) the
Inbox and sent files are, basically, text files, with the emails one
after another, so Cliff, I'm guessing providing you call each inbox and
sent file something different, you can move them into the one
profile....but, maybe someone will be along who can tell you how to do
it properly, as I think it is still possible to have multiple profiles
in SM.
Daniel
Keep in mind too that there may be other things that need to be moved
from one profile to the other, like other mailboxes (other than Inbox,
etc.), contacts, bookmarks, etc.
I believe there are articles on the Mozillazine site that talk about
migrating profiles.
MozBackup will save SeaMonkey's profiles and E-mail to a thumb drive and
then you can restore to your new PC. Just used it to move from a XP box
to Win 7. For some reason it lost my address book, but all my old
E-Mail, bookmarks, and settings moved fine.
