Re: lost inbox messages on 2.0.3 install over 1.1.7

Paul: I accepted the default location for the install and did not pay much attention to where the program was installing v. 2.0.3. 1.1.7 in not around any more so I can not check it. I am running an up to date XP Pro OS on C: and Seamonkey was installed to D: I checked the path MCBastos gave us and find one one random.default string which has four sub folders... 'Local Folders', pop1.attglobal-1.net, pop1.attglobal.net, pop.gmail.com. the pop1.attglobal-1.net has a 750 Meg inbox in it the other pop1 has an 839 KB inbox and is the one that is in the local director server settings I suspect the large inbox is the old e-mail. So -- the question. How do I change the local directory settings to point to the attglobal-1.net folder? I tried to do it with the program open by using the browse box but it did not work.

No, this would try to change SM 2.X to use your old SM 1.1.X profile. You don't want to do that. What others are suggesting is that you copy the inbox from your original SM 1.1.X profile directory to your new SM 2.X profile directory (while both programs are closed, of course). This will overwrite the Inbox in the SM 2.X profile, so make sure it's empty (or that you don't mind losing its contents) before you copy the file across. Indeed I would like to make the large file an archive or an archive but do not know how to get back and forth to access it and then get into the smaller file. Inbox is where incoming e-mail messages are initially placed. Just create other mailbox folder and move the messages from inbox to these other folders. For example, you can create a mail folder for Jokes, and copy all the Joke e-mail messages you get to this mail folder. If make a place to file all your e-mail messages, then your Inbox will be left pretty much empty. Note that the Inbox is a special mail folder, and it's generally considered bad (in the universal sense of the word) to allow it to contain a large number of messages. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
lost inbox messages on 2.0.3 install over 1.1.7
I just loaded Seamonkey v. 2.0.3 over 1.1.17 and seem to have lost 43,000 messages in the Inbox. The install seemed normal and asked if i wanted to import a range of information, including mail which was selected. It imported all other boxes and profiles except my Inbox.

Re: lost inbox messages on 2.0.3 install over 1.1.7
Interviewed by CNN on 28/2/2010 22:47, u...@domain.invalid told the world: I just loaded Seamonkey v. 2.0.3 over 1.1.17 and seem to have lost 43,000 messages in the Inbox. The install seemed normal and asked if i wanted to import a range of information, including mail which was selected. It imported all other boxes and profiles except my Inbox. Any suggestions appreciated. Well, this doesn't look as a lost messages case, it looks like a failed to import messages case. The messages are PROBABLY still where they always were -- in the old Seamonkey 1.1.x profile. They just weren't copied to the new profile. In this case, the simplest thing to do would be to copy the old inbox. file to the new profile. I really don't remember right now where the old profile is located, but the new one should be on C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\[random string].default\Mail I must warn, while mail folders are pretty safe, most other stuff shouldn't be simply copied from the old profile to the new one -- there were format changes and whatnot that can cause problems. The recommended procedure is to use the import tool. By the way, 43,000 messages is a pretty big inbox. In my experience, after a few thousand messages, performance degrades a lot. You might wish to eventually move older messages to another folder. And... just checking: when you say you loaded 2.0.3 over 1.1.17, did you by chance force it to install in the same folder as 1.1.17? Because, well, there are technical reasons why the default install folder has changed... mainly, that the program changed enough that installing over the old one is a Bad Idea. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
