I'm not sure to be honest.  I have this too:

I wasn't sure if the Mail directory needs to go or not.  This install is
about 3 years old.  I used to use Kmail but I'm not sure if this is left
overs from that or if Seamonkey uses it.  I wanted to make sure before I
did it though.

I also wanted to loose all the Seamonkey, Mozilla, settings because I
can not get adblock to work anymore.  All it ever says is "pending".  I
wanted to keep email for sure and filters !IF! I can.  I'll redo the
filters if I need to.

Won't copying the whole .mozilla directory copy settings and all?
