Can I move entire Folder that contains Preference newsgroups, Mail
extension and such To the new computer in same location then download a
fresh copy SeaMonkey and it open from scratch.I'd also like to do
similar with Camino, and FireFox as well.
Its been years since I've had to do this. This computer I am on is about
7 years old. I'm not one of these types that replace computer every 6
months to two years because the software call for it. Usually on a Mac
you shift when there is a shift processors and system software is
written that will only use that new processor type.
this will be only my 5th Mac since 1986. So I don't do this often At
least I'd like to bring over my Mailboxes, Bookmarks, Password, and
newsgroups and my plugins and extensions.
That's what I've done in the past, but I do a clean install on the new
machine first and then move items/folders individually - generally just
my Mail/News items, but now that I'm a bit more up on the structure I'd
just move the whole Profile folder contents, I think.
Provided, of course, that the two machines have the same version
installed. You wouldn't wanna drop a v.2 folder into a v.1 machine.
And I wouldn't want to guess what would happen if the helper apps named
on the source machine weren't present on the target machine.
