Can you give a whole lot more information about your setup and what
you are trying to accomplish? Your question as stated is requiring us
to guess way to much.

For instance: PC-1 Profile-A has messages dated 2-11-10 in the Inbox,
Drafts, Templets, Sent, Trash...
PC-2 Profile-A has messages dated 2-10-10 in the Inbox, Drafts,
Templets, Sent, Trash...
How can I add all of the PC-1 2-11-10 messages to PC-2 Profile-A, and
all of the PC-2 2-10-10 messages to PC-1 Profile-A; using a flash drive
to copy to and from PC-1 to PC-2???
You still don't tell us whether these are POP or IMAP accounts. I
assume POP, since IMAP mail would almost certainly be left on the server.
Navigate to your profile folder on one of the computers, find the mail
subfolder then the subfolder for the account from which you wish to
transfer data.
Copy the files Inbox, Drafts, Sent, whatever, without extension. Copy
these files to your flash drive. Rename them to something like
Oldinbox, etc.
Paste these renamed files into the profile of your second computer,
alongside the existing Inbox, etc. Open SeaMonkey.
You will see new folders in your folderpane, called Oldinbox, etc.
Drag and drop messages to reorganize them as you wish. You then recopy
the combined files and transfer them to the original computer.
To simplify this in the future, set one of the machines to leave a
copy of messages on the server. Make sure that machine has received
the messages before downloading them on the other machine, which would
remove them from the server. There is no convenient way to do this for
Drafts and Sent folders etc. at least on a POP account.
If the two machine are on a local network, it is possible to have both
machines point to a common profile on a shared network drive. However,
this does cause a very noticeable performance slowdown.
The ultimate answer for this kind of synching is to switch to IMAP
accounts, where all these folders are stored on the server, and thus
available on any computer.

Looks like no easy way...
This is Seamonkey-Mail, @comcast.net..
Going to IMAP means changing many ID's & addresses on many Web Pages...
I have a lot to consider..
Thanks so much for the information, Lee...
Well, there are other options.
First, the profile on a network share. If that share is a local hard
disk on one of the computers, that computer will access the profile at
normal speed. The other computer will be slow.
I have a system for keeping my desktop synchronized with my notebook, if
that is part of the issue. While each installation has its own profile,
I keep all the mail/rss/news data on a portable flash drive, and use the
Local Directory field in Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings to point to
the folders on the flash drive. At home, it is plugged into the
desktop, and on the road it is plugged into the notebook. each runs at
pretty much normal speed.
I can mount the flash drive as a network share at home to access it from
another computer, but it does cause SeaMonkey to run slowly. Actuall,
at home, I use VNC to look at the screen of the iMac if I am on another
computer.
There is a way aroud almost everything.
