Windows 7 ultimate, SM 2.15.2
I have one profile 1111111.default and a tree of folders
2222222.default which is a renamed profile structure from
elsewhere.
I would like to import/merge 2222222.default into 1111111.default.
What is the proper, easiest, way of doing this?
Rostylaw, don't know about the proper way, but.........
*If you just move/copy the files from 22222222.default to
11111111.default, you will overwrite you active account* , so what I
would do is, in Win7 Explorer, rename the 22222222.default inbox to
22222222_inbox and then move/copy it into your 11111111.default profile
at the same level as its inbox. Then, when you open SM, you should see
both your inbox and the 22222222_inbox listed under your normal profile
and can move mail from one folder to the other, if needed.
Do likewise for the sent folder, drafts folder, etc from the
c22222222,default profile into the 11111111.default profile.
Don't worry about renaming any of the *.msf folders, they will be
recreated as needed.
Thank you Daniel. What you recommend will, of course, work.
But that seems to me to me to be the brute force method
and I was hoping that there was some more elegant way or facility
for doing this task.
Mr. Gordon. If what you suggest is different from Daniels' method,
then please explain again, as I do not understand what you are
suggesting.
Rostyk,
What I am suggestion is a move and linking of the 2222222.default file
from its old location into the new profile location, this way you can
have access to both profiles if you nee one or the other.
You should have a folder in your system called Profiles for the
Mozilla/SeaMonkey installation. If you copy the name of the old profile
22222.default and paste it into the Profiles folder of the new
installation you can link Profile Manager to it the easy way.
You wont have to worry about moving mail account folders and files,
address books, bookmarks, passwords, saved forms, etc.
If you move the 22222.default profile folder to the new location, I
suggest you rename this profile folder something different than
".default". The developers and programmers of Mozilla have gone to a
lot of trouble creating a secure location for our profiles, the normal
method of creating a profile folder is to use a series of letters and
numbers (encrypted) and a special 3 letter extension. This prevents
hackers from searching our hard drives for files named *.default.
