Now I am looking for something that is far less bloated, and still secure and simple. Simple enough to be able to transfer all the user data to a new installation of the program in less than about an hour. I'm told it is a combination of a browser and email reader. One thing I absolutely require is emails in my computer - not on the ISPs websites with all of their crap ads. TIA If you are the kind of user who gets into irreversible trouble with a dedicated email application (and you've answered that question in your posts on the Tbird board), IMO you really don't want to install a single program that functions as three different applications, because getting into trouble with a multi-purpose application means uninstalling everything, at least in the absence of being able to fix it. Although I am a big fan of Seamonkey in its present versions, I second Roger's answer to you. Being able to fix minor problems - and you will get lots of help here - is critical. Believe me, transferring TB from one machine to the other is very simple, provided you take the time to gather information and carefully use it. Transferring Seamonkey data to another machine requires basically the same steps, so if you think Seamonkey will solve the problems you encountered, think again. The strong point of SM is combining a browser and an email program into one, as Netscape and Mozilla Suite did. Some prefer this approach, some don't. The latest version of SM (1.1.16) is for me ideal: it combines the ease of use of TB and the (relative) simplicity of FF2 which I prefer by fare to FF3's. You can actually replicate the integrated feel of the SeaMonkey suite to a significant degree merely by installing minimize-to-tray for the two applications TB & FF, and a common theme such as Mostly Crystal. So if you get into trouble with either one, well then what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas. I actually go to the extreme of using a separate newsreader program to REALLY keep my mistakes compartmentalized, but I believe under the rules of posting here, I'm not allowed to mention what it is. How does one install "minimize-to-tray"? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I did install Mostly Crystal and like it very much!

Thanks for all the help you have given me for such a long time!
Greetings to all! I have now made the change to Firefox & Thunderbird, and everything is working beautifully. I shall miss SeaMonkey a bit, but I do think my choice was wise, considering how inexpert I am. (This also means I won't be bugging you in the future!) However, I will never forget how kind, patient, and helpful the people in this newsgroup have been. This is what the Net should be; it is wonderful that it still is here.

Once SM is closed, click on the windows start button, then run and enter: seamonkey.exe -p this will start the SM profile manager. Thank you! It works, but it does *not* mention the enigmatic "Charley" profile, I just have "default" and "test". you're not paying attention. I said to use the profile manager, and locate that profile. What you do is click on Create profile, get to the area that has Default User. Rename that to Charley, then click on Choose Folder and locate Charley Sorry for being inattentive! I think I have now followed your instructions faithfully. I have three profiles: Charley, default, and test. This is not a problem, I think. Thanks for your assistance!

Nobody seems to have asked Charles if "Charley" is his *Windows* profile/Account or his *SeaMonkey* profile. e.g. c:/documents and settings/charley/ or c:/documents and settings//application data/mozilla/profiles/charley/ In the latter case the "charley" account should be at the same level as "default" and "test".

It works, but it does *not* mention the enigmatic "Charley" profile, I just have "default" and "test". Charley, when you have SeaMonkey running, have a look at Edit->Mail&Newsgroup Account Setting, select "Server Settings" on your Mail account and at the bottom of the screen is the "Local Directory". Is this the same location as the enigmatic "Charley"? Then close SeaMonkey, click on the windows start button, then run and enter: seamonkey.exe -p select the profile called "Default". Does it appear to be your "Charley" profile, i.e. has it got your mail and bookmarks set up as you normally see them? Daniel Yes to both questions, as far as I can tell.

I am a bit confused, and grateful for any help. The 'profile' is really only a short cut. The ACTUAL location of your emails will be identified by checking which directory your email accounts are using in 'Mail and Newsgroup account setting'. I normally change that location to the real location of my email and newsgroup history. Things like your bookmarks will still be in the 'default' profile. I tend to just copy that over the top of a new one created in the new machine. I am afraid I don't quite understand. I have found the actual location, now where should I change it? Sorry if I am very stupid! It is something of a mess as far as I am concerned. Especially with 'randomly generated directory names' in the equation. You need a copy of the 'default' profile directory, and a copy of your 'Mail' and 'News' directories. On the new machine install seamonkey. Find where it's created the new 'default' profile and copy your saved profile directory there. That should also give pointers to where the Mail and News directories were on the old machine, but it's probably worth tidying things up, so put them somewhere 'tidy' for you. In the 'Mail and Newsgroup account setting' preferences, change the server setting -> local directory to point to this directory. Thanks a lot! I think I understand everything now.
