I uninstalled and installed many times all weekend and today but was

straight to the Profile Manager. Of course I can add all 8 profiles
there manually but that sucks. Each profile has it's own in-box and
newsgroups.
So have you tried to use
"C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe" -P "SM2profile" -migration
as suggested?

Yes, I did try that, many times. It worked once but after the first
time, it sends me directly to the Profile Manager. It no longer
gets me to the Import Wizard no matter what I try.
What does 'Tools|Import' bring up? That should bring up the import
wizard. If it does not show the other profiles, then the issue is that
you have them on 'F' and SM most likely doesn't know how to go and find
them.
Seamonkey should look where the profile is by looking where SM1 stored
the profile not by guessing the location to the default one.
I always have my profile on a D: drive and the migration found it, too.
(although I hve to admit I didn't start the migration wizard manually to
import several profiles like that)

That fact you have your profile on the D: drive will, apparently,
become irrelevant on SM2. According to Robert Kaiser's
"Uninstallation" instructions, it states that the profile(s) in SM2,
where SM2 stores your data, are located (for Windows XP)
Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey.
In my installation, all of the data from SM1 was copied to this new
profile location on the C: partition. Since I wasn't prepared for
this, my C: partition ran out of room part way through the
installation. A lot of what should have been transferred was not. No
doubt this has caused many of the other problems I have been having
getting this going. I had to do a repair installation of Windows XP
and re-partition my C partition to add about 4 GB to accommodate SM2
and all of the email imported from my F: partition.
If I can't get SM2 to recognize
Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey
on another partition, I doubt that I will ever use SM2. As a general
rule, I don't like to put anything on the C: partition except the OS
and it doesn't look like SM2 will let me do that.
Please, anybody, correct me if I am wrong.
Arne, I'm guessing that if YOU want YOUR profile where YOU want it, YOU
will have to do a custom installation each time YOU upgrade.
I've (almost) always had my profile where I wanted it, so did Custom
Installations.

Further research shows a way of moving the profile to another location.
It is included in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder
under the heading of "Modify profiles.ini to point to the new location -
Advanced. - Firefox Thunderbird and SeaMonkey 2"
So it appears that there is a workaround to get the files where I want
them. Presumably, the profile folder is installed on the C: partition on
the initial install no matter what you say in the "Custom" install
dialogue. After that, you can use the above instructions to move the
profile to another partition. I have not tried it yet.
