Hello all - just as I was trying to perform MozBackUp on my Lenovo T61
the system froze and I waited for 10 minutes or so before physically
shutting down the machine.

Upon re-boot I found that a 'new' SeaMonkey window appeared without any
settings or history or profiles available.

I wanted to panic, but no I decided to remain calm and collected as it
appeared that I lost up to 5% of my emails, 100% of my contacts, 100% of
my bookmarks, 100% of my passwords, and just about everything else
stored in SM 2.26.

I know there must be more questions and facts which are left out here,
please let me know what you need in order to assist.

Any insight and assistance is greatly appreciated in figuring out if in
fact it is all lost.

Alternatively to Rob's advice, have a look at Tools-Switch Profiles. Do
you see more profiles listed there then you would expect?? If so, select
each in turn to see if it's your missing profile!!



The time/date the directory was last updated could be considered a clue.


Sorry, where would you see the time/date the directory was last 
updated, doing it my way??



Backing off one step: Backups are good.  Especially if they are readable.


As always, yes!

Oops, - I was thinking the best way was to look at the various profile 
directories under %appdata%\mozilla\seamonkey and did not check your 
posting closely enough.

Exactly.  And if you've got a regular backup of ALL critical data 
running (as you should!), why trouble yourself with another 
program-specific utility?  Silly.  And another layer of un-needed 
complexity.

First explore your %APPDATA% folder to see if you can find a Seamonkey
profile there.
