Hello all, running SM 2.29.1 on Win 8.1
I want to delete a few unused/unneeded profiles while moving my SM
folder from one drive to another.
Consistently I receive an error message which says something to the
effect "cannot delete as this profile is in use etc.." despite the fact
that SM is NOT running, how do I take care of this? I need to move the
profile as it is hogging up a small drive and causing problems.
TIA - bo1953
Samuel, do you have SM set up in your Quick Launch panel?? This could
explain why SM is saying it's in use when you try to delete it.
To get rid of the un-used profiles, start SM then go to Edit->Mail &
Newsgroup Account Settings, then, in the left hand panel, select one of
the accounts that you wish to remove and select "Remove Account". Do
this for each un-needed Account, but be sure you *really* want to delete
the accounts as, once they're gone, they're gone!!
To move your main account to a different drive, select Add Account and
set up your new account in the required location (On about screen
three/four, you get the option of determining the account location),
then move/copy your mail account folders to the appropriate place on
your other drive, then, when you've copied everything, delete the old
account.

The original message is about profiles, not accounts.
Sorry, David, to me "profile" and "account" are virtually
interchangeable. I know this is wrong, but ....!
FWIW, I have six accounts in my profile. Each account has a single email
address. I could surely create another profile with several more
accounts if I chose, but I don't.
In mechanical terms, my profile is the folder under C:\Users\Windows
User Name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ whose name has the
format xxxxxxxx.default; my accounts are folders under C:\Users\Windows
User
Name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\Mail\
and are generally named according to the email address (the exception is
Local Folders, a special "account").
