Help!
I just jumped from Seamonkey 1.1.18 to Thunderbird.
I had a Profile migration wizard during the installation and everything
worked well.
How do I get my second Seamonkey Profile migrating to Thunderbird???
Thanks in advance
Best Regards

Account Settings > Manage Identities (on first pane, bottom right)

Explore the other panes, and Tools >Options while you're at it. TB has a
lot of customisable features.

I don't think that's what he is asking at all. He has two separate
SeaMonkey Profiles, not identities, and wants to migrate the second profile.

Sorry, this is worse then moving from SeaMonkey 1.1.18 to SM 2.0.
There, you can invoke the migration wizard a second time. With TB, it
only runs once, the first time you run TB. After that you have to
migrate your data to other profiles manually:

Leonidas Jones escribi�:
Install thunderbird and execute with the switch -p( thunderbird.exe -p)
and make two profile( for the sake of the plot p1 and p2) and exit

Copy to the seamonkey directory profile and copy all files from one
profile to the one of the Thunderbird.

Search in the profile copied for files with extension msf and delete it.

Make two copy from the link to start firefox, rename like Firefox P1 and
Firefox P2.

If you only go to use one profile at time add "-p p1" and "-p p2" to the
links (without quotes), if not add also for both " --no-remote"

Hi Lee You're wright, and you always understand me quickly!!! :
The reason I was wondering to do that is that
moving from Seamonkey 1.1.18to SM2 just did not gave me the "Profile
Migration Import Wizard"
during the installation!!!!
Sorry

I haven't had ANY luck migrating ANYthing from 1.1.18 to 2.0 so I went
back to 1.1.18 but since SM is not my default anything, it doesn't
really matter. I have it installed just for the purpose of answering
some support FAQS that come up every now and then.

Perplexed as to why they changed the default profile location when
everything was going along so nice and smooth. Beats me!
