I've been using Seamonkey email forever, or it seems like it. I was using it when it was called Mozilla Suite. But now I keep getting emails from Gmail saying something about unsecure devices. If I disable this in my Gmail settings Seamonkey can no longer access my Gmail accounts.
Seamonky isn't updated very much so I was wondering if an updated email client would satisfy Google. So I switched to Thunderbird. Now the problem is transferring my Seamonkey profile over to my Thunderbird profile.
Thunderbird - www.thunderbird.net/en-US/
First, I tried importing directly to Thunderbird from Seamonkey.
Right-click on the top bar and then click on Menu Bar to show the menu.
Then click on Tools. And then Import...
I selected on Import Everything and then Next.
Then SeaMonkey 2 or later and then Next.
It didn't work.
So what I did was just to copy the contents of my profile in Seamonkey to the profile folder in Thunderbird.
So I went to my profile path on my system and inside the 7vwkpg24.default folder I highlighted all the files and folders. (Ctrl+A)
Note: your profile folders will probably have different numbers than mine.
C:\Users\Terry\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\7vwkpg24.default
Then I went to the Thunderbird profile folder. There are two. So I tried what looked like the most obvious one, t0g983m6.default. It was empty. I had Thunderbird closed at this point. So then I opened it and, nothing.
C:\Users\Terry\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\t0g983m6.default
There was a second folder, u6jwze2k.default-release. So I moved everything from the first to the second and when I reopened Thunderbird all my accounts and settings were there.
C:\Users\Terry\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\u6jwze2k.default-release
At first it didn't seem like it was downloading any emails but then it prompted for some passwords to my account and everything seems to work. I have also noticed that the contents of the u6jwze2k.default-release have automatically been copied to the t0g983m6.default folder. Weird, but I don't care, it's working.
