On another thread I had trouble with Seamonkey crashing on certain
websites.  After some other people said it worked for them and some
testing on my end, we figured out it was a bad file somewhere in
~/.mozilla.  I need to transfer my emails to the new clean .mozilla
directory.  This is what I have done so far:

1: move .mozilla to another directory using cp -av  I moved it to my
data directory.
2: delete ~/.mozilla
3: open Seamonkey and let it recreate the new .mozilla directory.
4: close Seamonkey
5: copy the old Mail directory to the new ~/.mozilla directory.  I made
sure it went to the right place too.  You know, in the default then some
weird number thing. 
6: open Seamonkey and see if the mail is there.  It's not.

I did check to make sure the permissions were correct.  I feel like
there may be another file or something that I need to copy but am missing. 

Is there a how to for this?  Has someone did this recently successfully
and like to share how they did it?  Could I just delete everything but
the Mail directory and that work? 

Thanks

Dale
