  - The "ey8r9gln.default" directory who contains all the profile.

Is it the same location under WINDOWS 10 ?


Yes. :)

The SM app, the profile(s), and the mail files, can be separate from
each other, and located anywhere Win can find them.


There is one possible gotcha with beeping SM data on a removable.  The 
file management system we use is based on drive letters.  Profile 
manager is looking for the profile in whatever drive letter you 
assigned.  And if you separate mail/news files, the profile is looking 
for them in a certain drive.  If the data is on a removable, you must 
guarantee that the removable drive letter will be the same every time 
Win boots.

Thanks! That worked and I have successfully installed SM om my USB
drive.

However, my profiles are still on C: drive.

I have created new profile from E: USB drive and it got stored on C:

So how can I remove SM from C: and run it only from E: USB drive?


Stan, I've not installed SeaMonkey Portable, so I might be well off
here, but when I do install the normal SeaMonkey, I put it where I want
it to be and, in particular, I put the profile where I want, so I have
to select to do a *Custom* installation.

Don't know if this would have fixed your problem, but you never know!!



Thanks for that, but we are talking about the portable SM so I have one
SM on C: and other on E: USB.


Yes, I understand that, Stan, but I was thinking if *you* didn't tell 
your SeaMonkey Portable installation program that you wanted the profile 
somewhere else, it might still just go ahead and stick your profile on 
the C:\ drive!



Eventually I would like to delete C: SM and use only E: USB SM.

The SM app, the profile(s), and the mail files, can be separate from 
each other, and located anywhere Win can find them.  However, once you 
tell SM where to look for profiles and mail, that is where it is going 
to look.  So if you put them somewhere else, you will need to tell it again.


The profile is a sub-directory tree.  Mail is a tree within the profile 
tree.  My profile trees and mail trees are separate, and they wander 
from one desktop to another and to laptops.


To have SM look for a profile where you want to put it:

Copy the existing profile to where you want it, and name the 
sub-directory anything you want.


Run SM with a -Profilemanager switch - that will open profile manager 
before the SM app.


In profile manager, select "create profile".

Browse to the copy you made, and have profile manager "create" your 
copy.  It will use whatever is in that sub-directory, and create 
whatever is missing - there should not be anything missing.  That 
profile will now get added to the profile menu.


When you know the new profile works, delete the original profile 
sub-directory, and the old profile listing in profile manager.

That depends on whether IsRelative=1 or IsRelative=0, which depends on
how the profile was created in the first place.

Copy the profile to the USB drive.  Open SM and go to Edit - Mail and

to the appropriate location in the profile's Mail or ImapMail.  If you
have more than one account and can't figure out which sub-folder is

Besides changing the order of the blocks, you should also renumber them
in the lines that have [ProfileN], where N is the profile number.

In my case, I placed all my profiles in a non-default folder.  Having
located profiles.ini, I created shortcut to that file in that
non-default folder.

Thank you all for the input. I was asking about the profile manager, 
being able to sort names there in a certain order.


I tried using a # and different letters, but it just keeps adding at the 
bottom.


Does this mean I need to go into settings for profiles and change it 
there and it will change in SM Profile Manager, where one goes to select 
which profile they wish to open?


Thank you again - Bo1953

I lied.  It didn't work with mail folders so I use extra letters; AA, AB,,,


Certain mail folders are prioritized over user-made ones. So things like 
Inbox, Drafts, Templates, Sent, Junk, Trash, Unsent Messages are always 
listed first, then your custom folders follow in alphabetical order.


But this doesn't happen for profiles. Unless you fiddle with them, 
profiles are listed in the order in which you created them (with Local 
Folders and News always at the bottom).


In my opinion, the least error-prone way of reordering profiles is this:

Suppose you have two profiles named "Alpha" and "Bravo" ("Alpha" being 
older) and you want Bravo listed first. Create a profile called 
"Alpha-new," with exactly the same server settings as "Alpha." Drag and 
drop all your message folders from the "Alpha" profile to the 
"Alpha-new" profile (message filters will automatically update). Test 
the "Alpha-new" profile to make sure you can send and receive mail as 
desired. If it passes, delete the old "Alpha" profile. You can then 
rename "Alpha-new" if you like and it will not move, because it's newer 
than "Bravo" (I recommend restarting the program first).

Make the first character in a name a number.  I do this with mail 
folders and bookmarks.
