It works very well where you may have several mail accounts.

Michael


Thanks, I will give it a try. Right now it is giving me a download
error. Perhaps it will work later.

Dale


Dale, if you are comfortable with playing around in your Config file, in 
the address bar of the browser, type "about:config" (without the quotes) 
and, in the filter bar type "mail.accountmanager.accounts".


Play around with the order of the accounts, re-starting SM each time.

I think this will do what you want, with-out the need for an extension.

The addon is a lot easier ..

This is what my value looks like in the about:config:

account18,account21,account19,account1,account15,account4,account2,account5,account6,account7,account12

Didn't list all here but try figuring out which is which before you
re-arrange .. :-(

YMMV

I thought I would try putting my laptop SM files on a flash drive,

I've found the SeaMonkey2 folder under Program Manager, but I can't
find the "current" files for the profile/mail/news, etc.. Under
Documents&  Settings, I have files that are dated 2009. That can't be
my current data, can it?
 

On my XP machine (IIRC, things are somewhat different on Windows 7, if
you're even using Windows...), the profile is at C:\Documents and
Settings\My Windows Name\Application
Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\..., where "My Windows Name" is my user
name as far as Windows is concerned.
   


Sorry I forgot to say I'm using WinXP2, and that's where my files are.  
I guess those old dates must relate to the dates the file folders were 
set up, and not the last time it was used.  It's been a long time, since 
I've looked at these things, and I tend to forget "a lot".   ;)




Also I haven't used flash drives before, so is it harder than I might
be thinking, to use them for backup. Do I need special software, or
can I just copy the files on there and copy them off, when/if needed?
Also can you just re-write over them, or should they be erased before
updating? LOL... or does it depend on the drive? TIA... for any
responses.
 

Can't answer this in any detail, but if your flash drive is formatted
for FAT32, it will have a 4 GB file size limit, in case any of your SM
files are that "fat." ;-)

There may be other considerations, keep reading for other responses.
   


I knew about the file size limitations, and that's another reason I 
thought I must not be looking at my current files, because they don't 
seem very big, for all the junk I have saved in SM.  :)


Thanks for your help, Paul.  Still hoping someone will jump in about the 
USB flash drives being used for backup.  Good idea or bad?  :)

I like to use a flash drive to backup and restore the Profiles\\"user"

You might try MozBackup to extract and then compress your profile on
your flash drive. I don't know anyone who has successfully used
MozBackup to restore their profiles, but it sounds real good. I have it
installed and saved several profiles, but have not had the need to
restore my profiles.

http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/

Michael


I was going to recommend MozBack to do the backup to a flash drive the 
backup will be in compressed form when it is done. As for a restore I 
have done several restores, and also use it to move my complete account 
to a new PC.

Why do you say that?  The groups (most of them) had propagated to most
major news services and are still accessible that way, just not via the
msnews.microsoft.com server. Usenet is no worse for the loss.

Ah? Microsoft was never a major player in the usenet big 8 and the
msnews.* hierarchy is a private one (like the mozilla.* newsgroups.) and
neither have ever been part of Usenet proper.

And just tested on WinXPPro SP3 with 2.1b2pre & it works there as well.

At some point the Java install removed old versions - but not back
