I could be wrong on this, as I haven't done it for some time, but I
believe all three programs will ask if you want to im****t the settings
and mail.
However, with SeaMonkey, it will pickup and start using your Netscape
profile, so you won't notice anything different.
SM is very similar to Net. As a matter of fact, they're kissing
cousins. If you like the way Net is, one program for all, then I
would recommend SM.
A profile is where all your settings, prefs, passwords, bookmarks,
mail, address book, etc, are kept.
