She will use SMPMW118 for the new profile, will not migrate to 2.1 after 
   some flavour of eCs is installed in it and all the data on the old 
box are transferred to the new one. AND a decent backup program is 
installed on this old box and be carried over to the new one - will make 
this program visible on more than one os/2 and eCs partitions so if for 
example a "hotted up" WSeB crashes then it can be restored from an eCs 
OS using the this backup/restore program. As we don't have money to get 
hold of a NAS box, the backups must be store on a 64Gib USB stick (usb 
2.0 for now, Arca Noae are developing USB 3.0 drivers for their ArcaOS 
os which have it's root in OS/2. She is an old OS/2 user after She get 
hand of the OS/2 2.0beta version. After installing it on a box in 1993, 
She liked it so She didn't go the WinStupid way - will only use Win7 on 
the new box for tasks that can't be done in os2 / eCs like accessing the 
e-identifier which have only have two flavours, one for Win7 and up and 
for Mac, not for Linux or any flavour of os2 / eCs.

She haven't trimmed down the Sent folder, it had been clobbered when the 
crash in the mailer occured - before the crash it contained Sent mails 
upto the crash, i.e. 2020. The crash occured when She tried to send a 
tune to this guy She mentioned above, and the size of that tune was 
14Mib. Have sent a tune wich was about 20Mib in size, and that was in 
2017 and SMPMW118 sent it correctly to Her buddy who likes music, both 
"commercial", "progg" and clasic music like JSB's organ works (JSB == 
Johann Sebastian Bach, the King of the organ :-).

Not directly, one have to go into the registry.dat file to do that, 
there's a page with mozilla tips and tricks that explains how to do 
that, but Her browser is too low to access the page, so it would be 
easier to let the new profile creation construct the name by itself. 
With a higher browser, i.e. FF31 on the new box (FF31 would be too slow 
on this 'ole box.

Will do that, one of the goals for creating a new profile is that She 
can access the various ecomstation newsgroups again.

Btw, do you have any experience with ProNews/2? The current version went 
bonkers after a unplanned reboot so that after that every messages went 
into the same newsgroup. So She thinks that opening the old ProNews in 
offline mode and bring up the Settings notebook, opening a fresh Pronews 
  instance, also in offline mode, just tick off the old settings in the 
fresh session, close them down and then deleting the Settings file in 
the old Pronews version and just plop in the new Settings file into it 
should clear up this problem so that She can begin using it again.

You bet bet that She will use the current email adress 
"[email protected]" (created Her own domain via Her small hobby 
firm GAEA Data - this was before physical persions could create their 
own domain name. Though Her IRL name soon will be changed to Lessa 
Mirrimdotter, the email adress will be the same so as to avoid 
confusions on variou sites, for example Mensys, Arca Noae and others.
