I want to move some SM 'inbox' and 'sent' mail files from a 32 bit

and 'sent' mail files already on the Win_7 machine and then merge the
two sets of mail files as I see fit. Is (or was) this approach still
correct?
Yes. :)
Similarly, I would like to copy the 'bookmarks' and 'saved addresses'
files from the XP computer and move them to the Win_7 PC. Having never
tried this in the past, what are the name(s) of the files I need to copy
from the XP computer's hard drive and how do I arrange things so I can
merge these files with the existing 'bookmarks' and 'saved addresses'
files already existing on the Win_7 machine.
Bookmarks are in places.sqlite.
Personal address book is in abook.mab.

Thank you for so quick a response. That is a terrific tutorial.
1) How do I differentiate between the existing 'places.sqlite' and
'abook.mab' files as I want to merge the existing files on the Win_7
with the ones I have copied from my XP machine? Rename the files from
the XP computer 'places1.sqlite' and 'abook1.mab'?
2) Assuming the above approach will work, how do I then go about merging
the two different bookmarks and personal address book files?
Thank you for your assistance in this regard.
Finally, you have been supporting Seamonkey (and its predecessors) for a
very long time. I can only thank you profusely for all the hours you
devote and have devoted to this effort. BRAVO!
