I have never created more than one, but suspect that SM for some

has created the second one, which I think may be messing a few
things up
for me (that I´ve posted about in another thread).
I read another posting here which said that the Mail folder should

does
not
sit in the profile with the .default ending but in the profile
with
the
.slt ending. How can I go about to correct this? Can I just delete
the
.default one?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Monica, did you upgrade from SM 1.x?? I think it called its
profiles
".slt" whereas SM 2 calls it ".default"
I think!!
Daniel
I am not sure (can´t remember) if it was this last time I upgraded
from
SM 1.x or just did an update within SM2.x. I think the latter,
because I
think I can recall being annoyed at the update being done
automatically
without me being asked first. I know now that I can untick a box for
that, which I did today. That .slt variant may have been with me
ever
since I upgraded to SM2 and I just haven´t noticed anything wrong
until
I needed to perform certain things lately.
Do you know what can be done about this though?
Select in Tools|switch profile.
Then manage profiles.
I´m sorry but manage profiles in what way? I´m not too familiar with
things like this. What I do know though is that I am using the
profile I
want to, and that is not the "default" one that also sits there for
whatever reason.
O.K., Monica, forget the "Manage Profiles" bit for now. Just select
Tools->Switch profiles and check out what the other profile/s contains.
When you installed SM 2.0.x, it should have made a copy of your SM
1.1.xx profile (the .slt one) and called the new one ".default". If
your
SM 1 profile is still there, it will not have your latest email, for
example, but would be complete upto your change-over date. Just
check it
out!
Daniel
I just switched profiles to check out what the other (.default)
profile contains. It really doesn´t contain anything of mine. It´s
just an original "default" profile from the update ( or upgrade?) made
November 19, 2009. Was that maybe when SM2 came out (and I upgraded
from SM1)?
The profile I am using (the .slt one) has everything from my old
profile and up to current time.
Let me take a wild guess here, by any chance when the pop-up asking
"what shall I import?" came up, did you click some selection other than
"everything?" I have always done "all or nothing" at that point, If you
did, you are probably going down a lightly tested (at best) path, since
most people either trust it or don't.
I can´t really remember getting that question at all to be honest, but I
doubt that I would have answered anything but "everything" since I know
I always want everything possible imported.
Just a thought, then.
