The problem is that it is so long that I've used SM 1.18 that I've 
forgotten a lot of this stuff. You can try the directions at 
http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/#transferring but really it is for 
newer SeaMonkey. Just make sure you have a good backup before starting.
You might be able to start SeaMonkey with seamonkey.exe -no-remote 
-profilemanager twice, once with your old profile and once with your new 
profile and drag the mail folders from your old profile to new one. Some 
of the stuff you're going to have to recreate and I believe there was a 
way to move the old encrypted passwords but I've long forgot.
Sorry for not being much help
Dave
