Well, I wrongly supposed I'd like to save all settings. If you don't |
| 57 |
want them saved, then I think the way to go is: |
| 58 |
1) delete the .mozilla's dir /home/$USER/.mozilla |
| 59 |
2) Start seamonkey in order to create a fresh home folder |
| 60 |
3) Open seamonkey-mail. >> Edditt >> Account Setting >> Server Settings. |
| 61 |
Here you will find the directory under which the mail is saved. |
| 62 |
Something like: /home/$USER/.thunderbird/ia8thvk6.default/ (yes, mine |
| 63 |
is .thunderbird for obvious reasons ;-)) |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
4) In "/old-home/" you'll find a similar directory, where your mails are |
| 66 |
stored. Stop seamonkey, copy "old-folder/contents" into the freshh |
| 67 |
folder and start seamonkey again. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
The commands should be something like: |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
rm -r /new-home/$USER/.mozilla/ |
| 72 |
start seamonkey, take that "funky" name from the account settings, close |
| 73 |
seamonky |
| 74 |
cp -a /old-home/$USER/.mozilla/XXXXXXXXXX/* |
| 75 |
/new-home/$USER/.mozilla/YYYYYYYYYY/ |
| 76 |
|
