I have 1.1.18 and 2.0.3 both on this machine and I just downloaded
the setup file for 2.0.4 . I have been using 1.1.18 for awhile now
and it is my default mail. In the 2.0.3 version, I have e-mail which
does NOT show up in the 1.1.18 program and also some in 2.0.3 which
does NOT show up in 1.1.18. Can anyone tell me why. And, if I install
2.0.4 do I need to get rid of all previous versions ? Also, if I
install 2.0.4 how can I make sure that ALL e-mail from 1.1.18 and
2.0.3 gets into 2.0.4 ?
Thanks for any and all help.
From what I've read here over the past few months:
SM 2 installs in a different location from SM 1, and it does not
continue to use the same profile. Instead, it imports ("migrates") your
profile and creates a new one for its own use based on the data from
version 1. Therefore, you can (if you wish) continue to use both
programs. However, if you do that -- if you send and receive mail with
one program, and then send and receive mail with the other program, and
back and forth -- each program, because it maintains its own separate
profile and its own separate mail folders, will have a different set of
messages. Many of them will be the same -- the ones that you imported
when you first installed version 2. But any messages you sent or
received with SM 1 will be stored in the SM 1 profile, and any messages
you sent or received with version 2 will be stored in the SM 2 profile.
As time goes by, the two sets of messages will become more and more
different -- only the old messages will be the same.
If you want to maintain one profile and one set of message folders, you
need to make up your mind. The recommendation here is generally version
2, which fixes some important security issues. You can uninstall version
1 without harming version 2, but first you probably want to transfer the
messages sent/received with version 1 since you installed version 2. If
that's your decision, post back and someone will provide detailed
instructions.
As for 2.0.4, you should be able to install that minor update right over
2.0.3. That's the least of your worries.
