David, I noticed that in your e-mail samples you couldn't determine the sender's user-agent in more than half the messages. You might try installing the Display Mail User Agent extension -- it is quite good in figuring out the MUA from obscure telltales, even if there's no explicit user-agent string. That way, you could find a bit more about the senders -- I notice that both the most error-prone and the most error-free mail clients went unidentified, for instance. I'm not using a Mozilla-based E-mail client. I use Thunderbird only as a news reader. Thus, the extension cannot be added to my E-mail client. -- David E.

Inbox autocompacted, all mail disappeared
SM 2.0.3 on Win7Pro (French) Just like that, three minutes ago, my main inbox autocompacted—deleting all my email. Not deleted email, regular email. My trash can and all my other folders still have all their messages intact. Of course there is no way to get it back (luckily, I backed up last week, but still). Did anyone experience anything similar? Soes anyone have any idea why it happened and how I can prevent it from happening again? (Well, besides turning off autocompacting, but that wouldn't sove the problem since compacting still needs to be done.)

Re: Two profiles, I only created one

Just select Tools-Switch profiles and check out what the other profile/s contains. When you installed SM 2.0.x, it should have made a copy of your SM 1.1.xx profile (the .slt one) and called the new one .default. If your SM 1 profile is still there, it will not have your latest email, for example, but would be complete upto your change-over date. Just check it out! Daniel But doesn't SM 1.x and SM 2.x each place their profile directories in different locations (by default)? Aren't the two profiles being discussed here in the same directory? That seems suspicious to me. Yes the two profiles are in the same directory! So, as Bill suggests, SM 2 installs it's profile somewhere different to SM 1, so someone changed somewhere. Or, Monica is it possible that you never set up the Mail Newgroup side of SM 2, you just selected your old SM 1 profile and went on surfing?? That´s not possible since the profile sits in the correct SM2 directory. How would it have gotten there without me moving it there? Let´s skip the question on how the whole thing ever happened and move on to a solution. Simple question (again), can I just rename my working profile with the .slt ending and give it the ending .default, and delete the current .default one? Daniel Hi Monica - I'm back again. In either your browser or your mail window, you will see the item 'Tools' on the top menu bar. Click on this to bring up the menu list and the bottom item should be 'Switch Profiles'. This should tell you what profiles you currently have available to your current version on SM. If you want to be 100% safe, then copy the current active profile folder (the one with the latest dates on the files) to where you would like it to be and name it for yourself - you will have to close down all of SM to enable you to do this. You do not have to bother about any random numbers in the folder name. Once you have done this fire back up SM and go back into Switch Profiles, but this time click on the button in the bottom left corner, called Manage Profiles and when the next screen comes up, click on the Create Profile button. Click the next button and on the second screen, again enter your name for the profile. Once you have done this click on the Choose Folder button and browse to the new folder that you have created and select it. The narrative should change to confirm the correct folder. Then click Finish. This takes you back to the 'Select User Profile' screen and you can click on the new profile name and then on the Use Profile button. Make sure the 'Don't ask me at startup box is ticked. When you click on the Use Profile button SM should close down and re-open using the new profile. Check to make sure that everything is working as it should. At this point in time, you will know exactly which profile SM is using, the one with your name on it. You can then go back into Manage Profiles and delete everyone but your own. When you delete, it will ask you if you want to delete the files. Tell it yes. Whichever folder disappears will have been the folder that it was using. You can then manually delete the other folder, leaving only the one with your name on it. As mentioned previously, there is no need for your SM files to be stored in the Documents and Settings folder if you are the only user on your computer. You can create another folder and store them all in there, so long as you change the profile folder name and the location of all the mail account folders (including Local Folders) to that folder's location. If you then want to back up your emails and SM profile settings, you simply copy the entire folder to somewhere safe. Hope that this helps.

Re: Inbox autocompacted, all mail disappeared
S. Beaulieu wrote: More info: I copied my Inbox from my backup and pasted it in its place in the profile. It's there. I deleted the Inbox.msf file. I relaunched SM. And my inbox is still empty. I checked that it's said to show all messages, and not only the unread ones. The Inbox file is there as is its content (checked it in Notepad). The Inbox.msf file got recreated. Just that one inbox from that one specific account is affected. Something is very wrong here. S. Check the local directory settings for the account. If they have been changed by accident, it could now be looking in the wrong place. If you have deliberately changed them from the default, make sure that it has not created a new set of files in the default location. SM has a bad habit of looking in the default location, even if you have told it the correct location for the local directory and if it finds files there, using them. If the local directory settings for the account is other than the default then you must make sure that the files in the default location are deleted. If something along these lines has happened make sure that any emails that have been downloaded into your new empty inbox are moved out to somewhere safe before you delete any files or else they will be lost.
