Hi, I've installed SM 2.23 on a new computer with Linux Ubuntu but all
my currently working settings, browser history and POP mail archives
are on an older machine running SM 2.4.1 on an older Ubuntu.
I'd like to transfer all my operations from my old machine to my new one
as smoothly as possible, so that my new machine will remember all my
old browser-stored passwords, my old browser history, the UIDLs for
several current POP e-mail accounts, and will have my quite extensive
set of archived local mail folders on it.
On my older machine, much of the data I guess I need appears to in a
folder with a name like /home/john/.mozilla/seamonkey/xxxxxxxx.default
It currently contains 1,787 items totalling 727MB
On my newer machine, I have a folder with a name like
/home/john/.mozilla/seamonkey/yyyyyyyy.default which basically only has
the newly installed default data that comes with SM2.23 on it.
Question is, if I copy all the data from the /xxxxxxxx.default folder
on my old machine and paste it all into the /yyyyyyyy.default folder on
my new machine, is that likely to work? Is there anything else I
ought to worry about to make my transition go smoothly?
Would it make a difference that on my old machine I've been running SM
2.4.1 from a /home/john/seamonkey/seamonkey folder whereas on my new
computer, it runs from a /usr/local/seamonkey folder?
I'm also wondering whether any of the default contents of the
yyyyyyyy.default folder that came with my SM2.23 contain new features or
facilities that would be lost if I replace them with my xxxxxxxx.default
data derived from SM 2.4.1.
Any warnings or suggestions on this transfer would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
+ John
