I still believe it should be possible to re-designate my present Inbox message folder to "Old" and open a new folder. Is it possible to take this type of action and how do I do this? I think the process I am following now will be complete some time around my 100th birthday. In Windows Explorer, locate your e-mail account and right click on one of the files/folders and check its Properties is not set to "Read Only". I was moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10 some months ago...I now understand that Windows Explorer in now File Explorer. If so, I am not sure how to get to get to my e-mail account to click on one of the files/folders. I can go to File Explorer and can find Inbox listed there...but I can't figure out how to enter the Inbox to see incoming/outgoing etc. under this heading like I once could under Windows Explorer. I think that the messages are not Read Only, however, as they appear as a mixture of Read and Not Read in SeaMonkey when I am in am using the Inbox. In any event, I was unable to follow the Windows Explorer path you suggested. Hello Daniel...it has been some time since our last contact. I'm sorry that I didn't reply to your message sooner. It seems that I need multiples of me in order to keep up with my responsibilities right now. I hope things will settle down somewhat after the start of the new year...I certainly hope that will be the case. Frog Frog, what you might need to do is set yourself up with several folders in your e-mail account. I normally have my Inbox, a Family folder, a Church folder, a Mozilla folder (for these groups), a Usenet folder (for my UseNet posts), a Genealogy folder, ... etc., etc. These should all be created by SeaMonkey at the same level as your Inbox. These can be set up, in SeaMonkey, by selecting your e-mail account then selecting File->New->Folder and call it something you understand. Do this as many times as you need. Then drag and drop your e-mails into the appropriate (new) box. I then go one step further and create an "Archives" folder under my "Local Folders" account with a sub-folder for 2017, etc., and "Drag & Drop" the folders from the e-mail account to the "2017" folder on or about 1st Jan. SeaMonkey then creates a new Inbox in the e-mail account when you re-start SeaMonkey, but you will need to re-create the other folders. -- Daniel User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.49.1 Build identifier: 20171016030418 Go Dallas Cowgirls!!

I don't think so, unless disk space is exhausted where inbox lives. Everything was working just fine until I was recently moved from Verizon to AOL...could this be the cause of my problem? I have to think it could well be related. Many individual spams are getting awfully big. AOL's inbox space might not be big enough to hold messages for the specified length of time. If she's leaving messages on server for 30 days, try cutting back to 10 or 14. Check with AOL if inbox size can be increased. If none are being left on server yet AOL inbox is full, something must be wrong either with SM or AOL. I have two POP mail accounts, one set to leave on server 11 days, the other 25. The one set to 11 is using about 25MB. The one set to 25 is only using about 5MB, but I just reduced it from around 37MB by deleting all emails 3 digits large, which were running e.g. 159, 164, 241 & 316 KB. How often does she compact folders? I do it daily. If she never does, maybe doing it is overdue, especially if triple digit spams have been routinely reaching it. Thanks Felix for your reply. I do check my mail several times a day so I don't think the build-up is located at AOL. As I stated earlier, my preferences are set to remove my messages from my ISP when they are downloaded to my computer. I have resolved that my problem must have to do with the volume of messages stored in my Inbox...thus, I am now in the throws of doing a thorough house cleaning of my Inbox. I hope this going to solve my problem. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this subject...I have been involved with Christmas shopping (wife is handicapped)...church activities...and undergoing a complete physical...among other seasonal activities.
