Okay, please explain the steps to do this process, especially how to
not have it in a profile.
The app, the profile, and mail all change and fail in their own ways.
Getting a new version of SM has caused a lot of trauma for some; like
"lost mail". Why would you want to replace the profile just because you
got a new app version? And why would you want to replace the mail just
because you got a new profile? And why would you want to replace any of
those things just because you got a new OS version? So I have the OSs
on an OS drive. And apps and data on separate partitions on a second
drive. And, they get backed up separately; mail often, profile less,
and OS hardly ever.
So, to answer your question, you must find the pieces. To find the
profile, search for PREFS.JS and for mail/news, INBOX. The profile is a
sub tree, and the mail is a sub-tree of the profile. Copy the profile
tree to a neutral location and then copy the mail tree to a different
location.
In a previous post I said how to name and place profiles. After you
have placed the mail sub-directory, go to:
Mail client > Edit > Mail and News acct settings > Account > Server
settings > Local directory > Browse
Browse to where you placed the mail tree, and select it. That account,
in that profile, will then manage mail in the new location. Repeat for
every mail account in every profile.
Have fun
