Possible - see my last #12,13,14 comments: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506638 Trying the command > options will add the profile to the list but the -migrate option does > not get the information from 1.17. The only way to get the information > into the newly added profile is to add it manually. I've just tested on Win2KPro by: 1. Creating an additional profile (tests) in 1.1.17 and adding this newsgroup to it so I can test, 2. Opening the import wizard in 2.0b1 by running SeaMonkey C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\seamonkey -migration and the import wizard comes up showing both my default 1.1.17 *and* the newly created 'tests' profile. Tick the 'tests profile, import it, reopen 2.0b1, and the 'tests' profile is there & working just fine. So, for me it does indeed work. I can test on WinXP tomorrow > > Fortunately, I'm trying this on a test computer so it doesn't affect my > main operation which is still on 1.17. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
