My Linux machine running SeaMonkey 2.46 had a major malfunction.

I have copies of all received emails in a single folder.
Using 'sneaker net' how do I copy them to my now good Linux
machine?

I know it's fairly simple as I had to do multiple transfers
between
machines about a year ago when I had multiple hardware problems.

But I've forgotten how.
Suggestions please.
TIA

Assuming SM will run on both machines:

1) On the source machine, launch SM, create a temporary message
folder with a distinctive name (I like to use "Temp") in
Mail/News, move the desired message to that folder. Close SM.

2) On the target machine, close SM.

3) Locate your profile folders on both machines, you should see a
file called "Temp" (no extension) on the source machine. Copy it
into the corresponding folder on the target machine.

4) On the target machine, launch SM, you should see the "Temp"
folder in Mail/News. Drag and drop the message to the desired
location, delete "Temp."


I *KNEW* it was simple <GRIN with a hint of groan>
Thank you.
