If the new PC is blank or the old installation does not be
preserved I am usually using zip -r -S with the whole mozilla dir
in roaming. If SeaMonkey has already been installed just delete the
complete roaming\mozilla dir on the new pc before unpacking. Same
with roaming\Thunderbird.

I had to give up on my on my old laptop (Lenovo piece of ...) and
got a new one. I want to move all my newsgroup files to the new
machine. Oddly enough when I search on doing this I find info on
moving Thunderbird. They say to use Mozbackup. Will that work
with Seamonkey?
Otherwise they talk about copying the profile folder contents.
Should that work ok with Seamonkey?
YES
I should copy what's inside this directory:"
C:\Users\tit_p\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ey8r9gln.default\
Or you copy
C:\Users\tit_p\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\
note "tit-p" is my user-account-name.
In addition to "tit-p" isn't "ey8r9gln" user unique?
Yes, that's correct.Except that's not user unique but the default
"profile-unique"
You should copy after or 2 levels before because this strange string
is present in the text of the profiles.ini file located in the
SeaMonkey directory
like this: Path=Profiles/ey8r9gln.default
Thank you. I am surprized that this sort of backup of profile tool is
not in the suite.
Remenber to do those kind of copy when SM is not running.
You may write a batch file to do the copy.
