Hi,
I have a new install and I want to move as little as possible to the new
/home partition. I really only want to save my emails and the filters
and nothing else. What do I need to copy to do this? I use Mozilla,
well Seamonkey now, for my email.
I would even like to loose some of the settings in Mozilla if I can.
Thanks
Dale
:-) :-)

Doesn't "rm -r /new-home/Dale/.mozilla ; cp -a /old-home/Dale/.mozilla
/new-home/Dale/" work?

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?

Well, I wrongly supposed I'd like to save all settings. If you don't
want them saved, then I think the way to go is:
1) delete the .mozilla's dir /home/$USER/.mozilla
2) Start seamonkey in order to create a fresh home folder
3) Open seamonkey-mail. >> Edditt >> Account Setting >> Server Settings.
Here you will find the directory under which the mail is saved.
Something like: /home/$USER/.thunderbird/ia8thvk6.default/ (yes, mine
is .thunderbird for obvious reasons ;-))
4) In "/old-home/" you'll find a similar directory, where your mails are
stored. Stop seamonkey, copy "old-folder/contents" into the freshh
folder and start seamonkey again.
The commands should be something like:
rm -r /new-home/$USER/.mozilla/
start seamonkey, take that "funky" name from the account settings, close
seamonky
cp -a /old-home/$USER/.mozilla/XXXXXXXXXX/*
/new-home/$USER/.mozilla/YYYYYYYYYY/

That sounds like a plan. I'll give it a try. It does come up with a
funky name for that directory don't it?? O_O

~/Mail/ is likely where all your old Kmail mail is. That's where Kmail sticks
all mine...
