You shouldn't experience any big issues upgrading.
That said, some people have had weird issues, but most have been able to
upgrade fine. My advice would be to back up your profile with MozBackup
first in case you do have any problems. Then you can migrate that back
up into the new version. This should not be necessary, but if something
goes wrong you have an easy,no hacking, fix.
That said you will see some nice new features in 2.4, better web
compatibility and bug fixes, but you will also loose some old friends.
Somewhere around 2.2 or so Seamonkey started to shift radically.
Personally I think it started loosing some of the features I really
liked and got buggy from 2.2 on, but also many annoying bugs were fixed.
Unfortunately since Seamonkey is a small project that has to follow the
FireFox/Thunderbird cores there was no way around this and to keep
current in other ways we have to settle on this. Not good but it is the
way it is.
This said I am now holding on 2.3.3 and have not gone to 2.4.1 as I am
hearing issues about 2.4.1 that worry me. I would wait till 2.4.2 or
2.5.1 if I were you since you are so out dated as of now anyway. Right
now I'm skipping the 2.x.0 releases since the last few have not gone well.

I'm currently using SeaMonkey 2.0.14. What can I expect with upgrading
to Version 2.3.3? I get constant reminders to upgrade.
When I upgraded to the current version my profiles were copied to
another location which I had difficulty locating and then couldn't get
to work and had to re-establish all of my 5 email accounts using the old
location. It seems to me I also had trouble with my bookmarks.
Will this happen again? Is there an upgrade guide with step-by-step
instructions?
Thanks,
