A SeaMonkey 2 profile may contain these files that won't be there in an 
old profile (the list is incomplete):


- extensions/ directory
- extensions.*
- *.sqlite*

I also got the impression from some earlier discussion that copying IS 
one way of doing a migration, although it is not clear that it is the 
same or different from using the migration wizard.


In fact, I just did an in-place migration of a 10GB+ profile (almost 
all mail files of course) by creating a new SM 2 profile and then 
totally replacing it with the old profile and starting SM 2.  This 
seemed to do almost everything necessary except that reading News 
wouldn't work, so I just deleted all the News .msf files and let it 
re-create them.


Clearly this isn't the supported way of doing a migration but does 
work, mostly.  Obviously some thought and programming went into the case 
of SM2 wakes up and finds it has SM 1 files.

Well that's exactly my question. From the stuff I've read online,
the sm 2 profile and file structures are different from those
in sm 1.1.18, but that sm 2 can use the 1.1.18 profile and
files sorta/kinda/maybe. I read that you are better off
migrating (their term, not mine) to sm 2.

I just want to know, in simple terms, how I can look in
d:\data\seamonkey\users\username where all the mail,
newsgroups, bookmarks, addy book etc are, and tell
whether they are in native sm 2 format or are still
in 1.1.18 format. Kapische??
