It is not a big deal. Why does it need to be? I do something similar, it works well and has for years: 1) On the laptop/target computer, rename the \Mozilla folder to \Old_Mozilla. This allows me to revert easily if something goes wrong. It also prevents Windows from doing funny things (replacing some files and folders, adding others) if it finds partial matches within the folder tree. 2) Copy the \Mozilla folder from the desktop/source computer to the laptop/target computer. Run normally on the laptop. On my return, repeat the process in the other direction: 1) On the desktop/target computer, rename the \Mozilla folder to \Old_Mozilla. 2) Copy the \Mozilla folder from the laptop/source computer to the desktop/target computer. Run normally on the desktop. This all assumes that I have the same versions of SeaMonkey and the same plugins and add-ons on the two computers. I can't predict what would happen if those assumptions didn't hold. And of course once I've assured myself that all is well on the target computer, I delete the \Old_Mozilla folder. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

New problem with message filters
Over time I've created a couple hundred message filters to divert emails I want to read ***but not right now*** to my junk folder. Mostly these are newsletters, notices of upcoming payments due, blog post announcements, advertisements from companies I like, etc. Suddenly all the filters know longer know where to send the messages. I can fix them one by one I suppose; but whatever caused the problem might just happen again. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone out there? (I'm still running SM 2.26.1 on Windows XP on this particular machine for reasons that are important to me.) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Did you try Start/Settings/Control Panel/Ease of Access/Make the

if i open a message it automatically opens in large print.
You can modify the userChrome.css file to make the fonts larger by
adding the following to the file.:
}
/* Make the thread and folder panes readable. */
treechildren {
font-size: 14px !important;
}
* Some possible accessibility enhancements:
*/
/*
* Make all the default font sizes 20 pt:
*
{
font-size: 20pt !important
}
*/
/*
* Make menu items in particular 15 pt instead of the default size:
*
menupopup * {
font-size: 15pt !important
}
*/
and of course you can change those font sizes to whatever you wish. More

A new problem for me SM 2.0.14 WITH Windows 7
For some reason I have been having a problem sending emails. It will work for a while with no problem. I have zero problems receiving email, or newsgrops. But then all of a sudden I will not be able to send an email. Check to see if anything has changed in the newsgroups, mail setting for outgoing and nothing has changed. Funny thing is I can compare two computers side by side and one will send and the other one won't even though the setup for them are identical. Anyone else having this problem? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
