The problem is a bit messy as I have some email already in SM-2.11 and I want to
put the email I have in SM-2.0.14 into the newer SeaMonkey ( fold both the old
mail reader contents and the new into the new version). The web mail solution is
not an option as I delete mail from the server on download in the newer version
of SeaMonkey. I use SMTP and not web mail. On cautions side I am making the
assumption there is nothing on the server once the mail is on the local computer
either version of SeaMonkey.
The history of how this mess happened is short and sweet... After using the new
computer with the latest version of SeaMonkey for a few months the box went
south for the winter. I had to revert back to the older SeaMonkey and now the
email account is split between two versions of SeaMonkey.
It appears the msgFilterRules.dat file between the two versions is the same and
there should be no problem there. What I don't want to do is to have the email
already in the newer SeaMonkey lost when I transfer the old versions account
over. That is, if the import can be done.
The Question is, can I do this and is there a method I can use so I don't screw
this up? In the end I will still use the old SeaMonkey for retrieving mail but
will leave the messages on the server so they can be retrieved by the new
SeaMonkey. The Old SeaMonkey is on a laptop and it gives me access to mail when
I don't have access to the desktop with the latest and greatest SeaMonkey
There are hundreds of mails in the new SeaMonkey so forwarding them or sending
them back to the same account is not a pleasant option. I can't update the old
SeaMonkey on the laptop without upgrading the OS and I don't want to update the
OS for a number of reasons. That shouldn't be a problem anyway since it's only
about email and not the OS. SMTP should just work and for the most part it does
and very well for my needs.
