Just as Thunderbird offers to migrate Mozilla profiles, we should have an end-user-friendly way to migrate Thunderbird's profile data into a SeaMonkey profile. This option should both be available on startup of a new SeaMonkey profile and as part of data import.

Additionally, there should be a way to import from Thunderbird TO Thunderbird. I didn't see another bug on this, so am adding it here.

Concur. On January 9th, I changed to the Firefox/Thunderbird combo while awaiting release of SeaMonkey. When I *upgraded* (smile) to SeaMonkey today, email was started off as of January 9th. Since I know how to maneuver the file system, I simply copied the files for each account from the Thunderbird profiles to the Mozilla profiles, which got me up to date. I would suggest checking for Thunderbird during install, and checking the date of the files to see if there is a notable difference. If there is, Thunderbird files should probably be copied to the Moz profiles. And while I'm at it, can we stop calling it Mozilla and call it SeaMonkey? Darned thing is confusing when hacking the file system.

Once we implement SeaMonkey as an xul application (Bug 328887), and fix bug 329744, doing the Thunderbird migration will be easy (there's already a wip patch on bug 329744). Adding relevant dependencies.
Depends on: suiterunner, 329744

We need to consider what happens when there's both an old sm profile (or even an ns4 profile if there's still migration from that) and a tb profile. Are they to be merged? Do you select one of them for importing? Can you change your mind later and also import the other one? etc.
