Good morning,

I installed SeaMonkey 2 Beta 1 yesterday but it crashed during the importing of Mail because there wasn't enough space on my C: drive partition.

Firstly, Users should be allowed to specify where such data should be stored. I try to keep my C: drive partition solely for the OS.

Secondly, the installation should be checking for sufficient space on the destination drive for the Application Data.

Thirdly, instead of importing the emails and bookmarks the installation could give the User the option of linking to the existing data which is what I have done for my email accounts.

Thank you and hasta pronto,
Michael Holberton

The SeaMonkey team has no plans for working on this.
