And the error message is .............??
Sorry about that, I sent a screenshot as an attachment but it seems it
got stripped away. It said "Your SeaMonkey profile cannot be loaded. It
may be missing or inaccessible.
I checked the File System permissions and it still happened. I created a
new profile and my email probably had to be redownloaded, it would be
nice if I didn't have to do that...
I had better luck with ThunderBird.
When you create a profile, it let's you import an existing one?
Mike, if you have sent or received any e-mails in the original Win8 SM
profile, you will then need to combine that profile with/into the
moved profile, so you don't lose anything.
Wouldn't the emails be there since they would be part of the shared profile?

Do I have to do something else to transfer the profile over?
Once I have it working in Windows 8 and delete the profile from my
Windows
7 partition (need free space) can I have Windows 7 use the profile
stored
in the Windows 8 partition (or could I have it stored on my Data/Files
partition)?

Mike, I'm going to guess that it mentions something about the profile
being "Read Only" and suggest you have a look at where your profile is
located. Go to Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, and select
"Sever Settings" for your Mail account. At the bottom of that screen,
you should see "Local directory".
Part of that should have something like "fgnvbfbg.default" (random
numbers and letters followed by default). Copy and cut or write on
paper or remember this part of the address. Close SeaMonkey, and in
Windows Explorer, go to this address, right click on the folder,
select "Properties", de-select "Read Only" and then select "Apply to
all files and sub-folders" or whatever the wording is and click apply.
If your W7 install of SeaMonkey can "see" the W8 profile, in Windows
Explorer, then, in w7 SM, Tools->Switch Profiles->Manage
Profiles->Create Profile then, on the screen after next, enter a
profile name ("Win8 SM", maybe) and on the same screen "Choose Folder"
and point to the "fgnvbfbg.default" folder and then o.k. your way out.
Mike, if you have sent or received any e-mails in the original Win8 SM
profile, you will then need to combine that profile with/into the
moved profile, so you don't lose anything. Ask back here when you get
to this stage.
HTH!
