I know it is possible to copy a single e-mail folder from one machine
to another. I've just forgotten how to do it.
The situation:
My primary machine went to the shop for repair.
I had to use a secondary machine for a while.
I set up a mail filter to copy all incoming mail to a new folder
before applying my other filters.
How do I copy that single folder to me primary machine when it
returns from the shop?
Two options:
1) Network the two computers, transfer over the network using your
operating system's file-copying features;
2) Use the "sneakernet" (copy to removable media such as a flash
drive, move the removable media to the target computer, use your OS's
file-copying features).

<chuckle> Sneakers not needed. The machines are 18" apart.
Evidently question poorly stated.
How do I copy a single sub-folder from my inbox tree to a USB drive?
And inversely how do I copy it to the second machine's inbox?
Thank you
There are a couple of ways to accomplish what you want.
* Use IMAP. :)
* Manually copy the folder...
1. On your destination PC, create sub-folders in the Local Folders
account for the folder you want to import.
2. On your temporary PC, open SeaMonkey, go to
Help-->Troubleshooting_Information, click on [Open Folder], and close
SeaMonkey. That will open your profile folder in Windows Explorer.
3. In your profile, go to the \Mail\ folder, then open the directory
containing the folder you want to import. It should be named after the
server. (For example /Mail/pop.mail.yahoo.com/)
4. Copy the file named after the folder that doesn't have an extension
to a USB stick or whatever you're using to transfer the data from one
computer to the other.
5. On your destination PC, open SeaMonkey, go to
Help-->Troubleshooting_Information, click on [Open Folder], and close
SeaMonkey. That will open your profile folder in Windows Explorer.
6. In your profile, go to the \Mail\ folder, then the \Local Folders\
folder.
7. There should be files for each folder you want to import that you
created in step 1. In this step replace the those files with the ones
from your USB stick. They should have the same names.
8. Open SeaMonkey. In your Local Folders account, you should see
folders/messages from your old computer. At that point, you can drag and
drop the messages between folders within SeaMonkey.
...but I recommend using an IMAP account for this.
