I have severe problems to get Thunderbird working again on my PC (Thunderbird doesn't start). A longer, sad story. Therefore I want to import my Thunderbird profile in Seamonkey. The problem is that I have no working Thunderbird profile on that PC, but I changed the settings in profiles.ini accordingly. But when I try to import the (correct) profile seems not to be processed (it lasts only some seconds). So my question is how Seamonkey finds the profile? Does it read the profile.ini from Thunderbird or any other settings? Strange is that MozBackup finds that profile. Can I use MozBackup for cross-importing in any way? Just want to mention that I can't import my mails/newsgroups manually by creating accounts, that would be to complex.
It sounds like there's a lot of backstory and tweaks that we are not aware of.
SeaMonkey and Thunderbird are completely separate installations. Each uses a different profile directory and different profiles.ini file.
Your address books are contained in files with MAB extensions in your profile folder. abook.mab is your personal address book. You can save the abook.mab file from your Thunderbird profile folder to a safe location. To restore that data in your SeaMonkey profile, open the SeaMonkey address book window, so SeaMonkey creates its own abook.mab file. Close SeaMonkey and replace the newly created abook.mab with the saved one from your Thunderbird profile folder.
