Not sure what you're getting at.  Editing an existing account is
as easy as it was with 4 IMHO.  Btw... my 4.x stuff came over just
fine upon installing Mozilla... perhaps yours didn't, but I've installed
Mozilla on several Linux boxen and some Windows boxes and it seemed
to do well in all cases.  Maybe there are still some things to
work out in some cases though (e.g. a spell checker would be nice)...
maybe I was fortunate to not hit a snag.

Enjoy,
Chris
