Certain newsgroups I like to use off-line and keep around forever.
1) how do i verify that they are really on my PC ?
Disconnect your PC. :)
SeaMonkey keeps a session cache of online messages you've read during
the session, so start SeaMonkey after disconnecting. SeaMonkey should
detect that you're offline, and go into offline mode.
Then view your messages to verify that they are there.
2) is it possible to transfer to a different PC so i do not have to
download all of them again ?
When you've downloaded newsgroup messages for offline reading, a
separate file with no extension will be created to hold offline messages.
For example:
"mozilla.support.seamonkey" and "mozilla.support.seamonkey.msf"
1. Go to Help-->Troubleshooting_Information.
2. Click [Show Folder]. Windows Explorer window will open in your
profile folder.
3. Close SeaMonkey.
4. In your profile folder, go the \News\ folder.
5. Copy the files named after the news server.
After you've set up the account in your destination PC, close SeaMonkey
and replace the newly created files with the ones from your old profile.
But if you're transferring to a different PC, I recommend transferring
the entire profile. For more info, see
