I have three profiles whose only distinction is how they handle web

One is my default, day to day, preferences. Primary
characteristic is
browsing without commonly abused HTML "features" such as cookies,

The second is set to match the wishes of my bank.
The third will be used as a remote terminal to administer the
church's
website.
I want separate histories and bookmarks for each.
I wish to access all my emails and newsgroups from each.
Can I? Preferably simply and conveniently ;/
TIA

Or you can figure out all of the email only files and folders from
your
profile that has mail, and copy and paste them into the other 2
profiles.
Phrased that way, I don't think it would be quite right.
I wish to access all email/newsgroup folders from all profiles
showing
identical content.
But you got me thinking. What if profiles "B" and "C" had links to
the
mail/newsgroup folders of profile "A"? Needs some thought and testing
in a safe environment - I've crashed my OS twice in three days ;)
Make backups of all profiles before tinkering.
*grin*
Didn't work. Not to say it's not possible just that it's not simple.
Plan B.
Profile A has your Mail & Newsgroups accounts, profiles B and C don't.
Correct?
Open Profile A.
Open the Mail & Newsgroups Window.
Go back to the Browser window.
Enter about:profiles into the address bar.
Select Profile B or Profile C, and click the "Launch profile in new
browser" button.
You will probably have to disable the Make SeaMonkey the default email
prompt. I did.
Go back to Browser A, select File > Close to close that window.
Repeat to open another profile while having the Mail window open at all
times.
Bottom line is you only really need one profile for mail, and you can
use as many as you need for the Browser window.
Both Plan A and Plan B would work for me.
Not what I'm looking for. I see the same ergonomic problems as the
"Firefox + Thunderbird" solutions.
But I may be on trail of an acceptable solution. I requires a strange
user.js . I suspect what what I've done so far would have worked
except I'm now using Linux and my profile with the mail and news setup
had been migrated from Windows.
I have to investigate the purpose & syntax of the "extensions.xpiState"
Preference Name.
I have some other thing to attend to so I may not get back to this for
a couple of days.
Thank you for your assistance.
So your Mail & Newsgroups open in your SeaMonkey Browser window?
No matter what you do you are still going to have 2 windows. One for the
browser and one for mail.
Have fun doing it the hard way and keep us posted.
