How are you issuing the "directive to file archived mail in a separately 
specified local folder"? The usual way is, for each mail account, go to 
Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings |  | Copies and Folders 
and specify it under

[x] Keep messages archived in:
(o) "Archives" Folder on [Local Folders]
(•) Other Folder: [Choose Folder...]

Are these settings correct on your machine? Or is SM getting confused 
because Windows and Linux specify folders differently?

any ideas? am I correct this used to work?

Don't know what you mean.

Need exact steps to reproduce.



my machine has a C: drive for programs, and an F: and G: drive for 
backup storage. In the past I have always directed the local folders 
to one or the other of the storage drives where all archives are kept.


for while now, whenever I reboot the machine, the local folders has 
lost contact with the path to the storage drive that is selected in 
Account Settings: /media/sean/7DCF1DCD6715DC30/local folders


Which operating system are you attempting to do this from? Mention of 
C:, F: and G: drives looks like Windows, but /media/sean/... looks 
like a Linux path. Your user-agent header also indicates that you're 
posting from Linux, although that may not be the system you're having 
problems with.


If Linux, it may be worth checking that the disk is mounted before 
starting SeaMonkey.


If you're attempting to share a single SeaMonkey profile between both 
Windows and Linux, that won't work - particularly in this case where 
there are paths which need to be specified differently on the two 
systems.


Well, not the case, sort of!! As my sig file indicates, I run SeaMonkey 
on both Win7 and MangiaLinux. Of course, both OS's have their related 
Profile files with-in their OS set-ups, but the E-mail, News Group and 
Bookmark files are stored on my Win7 E:\.

Isn't it cool when the archives of mozilla newsgrousp can help solve a 
problem?


all the best...

Longtime SM user, but using SM in Windows 10 for the first time --

I don't have a "Delete" button on the toolbar at the top of the

"Delete" button that I can add to the toolbar; how can I put one there?


(I used to use Prefbar also, which I'm more familiar with -- but I 
don't have it working yet.)



What do you plan to Delete from the browser window?

The Delete button is for messages in the Mail & Newsgroups window.

It is located between the Junk and the Mark buttons in the Mail 
Toolbar in my SM on Win10.


Just like here:





Sorry, I meant the MAIL window, not the browser window!

I deleted the Mark button a while back; the Mark button is now down in 
the bin of available buttons, where I expected to find the Delete button.


I'll keep experimenting; maybe a reinstall of SM will turn it up.



I found the Delete button in the Customize window in Mac SeaMonkey, but 
it seems to have no image, just text.  I have not used it for years, 
since I replaced it with the File button, which is more useful.

As you suggest, Sunbird is very, very, old, and, I think, you'll find 
no longer supported.


However there is now an extension called "Lightning" which, I think, 
does the same sort of stuff, and you might find support for it in the 
newsgroup mozilla.support.calender on this server.


Give it a go.
You are right -- Sunbird is very, very, very old, and is no longer 
supported. But then, I'm also very, very, very old too, but things still 
seem to work okay. Wait ... what was that creaking sound?


I had looked through the Mozilla group names but failed to see the 
calendar one, so thanks for that! Subscribed, did a search for Sunbird, 
and found a thread back in 2012 that discussed precisely my problem. I 
simply moved the content of the existing profiles fold out and replaced 
it with the old stuff that I have recovered, and the whole think worked 
perfectly displaying all the old data. So again, thanks for that tip!



No problem!
