Hello,
I experienced various problems when switching from 1.4 to 1.5. I've
understood that making another profile would solve the problems. So I've
created another profile, but ...
How do I import mails, accounts and addresssbook from one profile into
another?
Thanks in advance,
Joost

Easiest way, set up up all your accounts in the new profile. With
Mozilla closed, copy the files named Inbox, without extensions, from
your old profiles mail folder. Paste them into your new profiles mail
folder, overwriting the ones already there. This transfer your old mail.

Copy abook.mab from your slt folder, and paste it into the new profile's
slt folder, overwritng the one that's there. This tranfers your
addressbook. You can bring over your bookmarks by doing the same with
bookmarks.html.

You can transfer the account settings too, but it involves editing
prefs.js, and it is usually just as quick to recreate them as I said.
