I have tried 4 times to move to SM v.2.01

location and it has three accounts with files on my G drive as long term

its default mail profile on C.

Any idea on how to stop that?

I think the whole idea of setting a profile up as default is a bug. If the name 
is not default then whatever profile it migrates should keep its name.


Next how can I add the other profiles if I move them back to old profile 
they always get added to my default profile when imported. If I use 
profile manger I do not seem to pick up my old profile.
I need to see only the currant profile I log into I do screen shots for 
teaching on two profiles plus this profile for my eight news servers. I 
do not want any cross readability shown.


Migrate one, rename it from default to the proper name, then migrate the rest? I 
haven't tried this, but it seems sane, although my automatic migrates always did 
the right thing for the first.


I'd like a sensible way to migrate a profile giving the old and new name. I 
still think that the migration tool should have been a separate software, not 
built-in, then capabilities could be added. It could even have been written in 
such a way that people didn't have to invest weeks in code study before 
rewriting or enhancing.

http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.0.1/#issues
Only one profile from SeaMonkey 1.x is migrated to SeaMonkey 2.0.1 
automatically (Bug 383006)

Workaround: Manually start migration as described in the knowledge base.
Just follow th link there to the knowledge base.
