OT: OST-File (Was: Can't copy an e-mail into its same folder in SeaMoney v2.49.4?)

Afaik, no Win o/s has stored files of the same name in the same folder. Maybe because it was based on the dos 8.3 system. Completely off-topic, but an OST-File is just a mirror of an Exchange mailbox for offline use. Used to contain the whole mailbox, but since Outlook 2013 or 2016 it can also be filtered to contain only newer parts of it. On the other hand, Outlook without Exchange uses ".PST"-Files, each one containing a whole mailbox with inbox, outbox, other folders, calendars and contacts etc. Btw, no filesystem I know can store different files with the same name in the same folder.

As I understand it, SM stores your e-mails in one big file, e.g. inbox, controlled by SM, whereas, as I understand it MS Outlook stores its e-mails as individual files on the HD so under the control of the OS, e.g. Win 7 or Win 10. So, if Windows allows multiple, similarly named files, MS Outlook would also!! Or am I wrong?? I use the Enterprise version of Outlook and it stores all emails in one large *.ost file.

Windows 10 will use the same file name and append " - Copy" to it. I know that. It was just to compare windows file management ans SeaMonkey mail managemnt. Seamonkey cannot append " - Copy" to a mail, so it's normal that it refuse to duplicate a mail in the same folder. And, finally the question for the OP is still without an answer from him: Why did he need a duplicated mail in the same folder ? When he need to do a "reply", a "forward", or an "edit message as new" one mail is enough, you don't need another identical mail ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Ant, if you had an e-mail called "ABCDE" and copied it to the same folder, shouldn't the copy just over-write the original?? I've got no idea of how you are achieve having two "same named"/"same content" e-mails in the same folder, even if it has been in a different folder!!
