I got my email working and was able to get all the inbox folders from
the old computer transferred to the new. Now how do I get the Address
Book transferred. I do not see and extension named like Address Book.
abook.mab (mozilla address book) ought to be in the profile's root.
Looks like http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/ covers that and more.
Why copy little pieces? I normally use a desk top at home and a laptop
on the road. The app is one tree, the profile is another tree, and the
mail files are another tree. I just copy all the trees from the desk
top to the laptop before I leave and then copy them back when I return.
I also copy all the trees to other desktops for back up. And OS/2 and
Win SM and Win Pale Moon/Foosa all use the same profile and mail files
The point is, the process of "moving to a new computer", is something I
do on a regular basis. It is not a big deal. Why does it need to be?
I do something similar, it works well and has for years:
1) On the laptop/target computer, rename the \Mozilla folder to
\Old_Mozilla. This allows me to revert easily if something goes wrong.
It also prevents Windows from doing funny things (replacing some files
and folders, adding others) if it finds partial matches within the
folder tree.
2) Copy the \Mozilla folder from the desktop/source computer to the
laptop/target computer.
Run normally on the laptop.
On my return, repeat the process in the other direction:
1) On the desktop/target computer, rename the \Mozilla folder to
\Old_Mozilla.
2) Copy the \Mozilla folder from the laptop/source computer to the
desktop/target computer.
Run normally on the desktop.
This all assumes that I have the same versions of SeaMonkey and the same
plugins and add-ons on the two computers. I can't predict what would
happen if those assumptions didn't hold.
And of course once I've assured myself that all is well on the target
computer, I delete the \Old_Mozilla folder.
