I do this quite often. All I do is copy the entire .mozilla folder over
to the other machine. Then in a text editor I mass replace the name of
the old machine to the name of the new machine in the prefs.js file(s).
So, for example if in the old prefs.js file there was an entry like:
user_pref("mail.newsrc_root",
"/home/<oldusername>/.mozilla/seamonkey/xyz0123.default/News" [1]
I'd mass replace <oldusername> with <newusername>. Most text editors
have a find and replace feature that you can replace all at one time.
That's it. Start SeaMonkey & off you go.
[1] For Win2K, XP the profile is located at:
Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Mozilla\
Windows Vista
Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\
