I didn't want to simply copy the entire contents of backups to a single
file, because I assume I would get duplicates of almost everything (I
assume SeaMonkey does nothing to detect or avoid duplicate messages).

So now I'd like to know Is there anything in Folder A that is not also
in Folder B?

How do I do that?

Bob, over the years, I have, several times, combined several 
Netscape/Mozilla/SeaMonkey email profiles.


Usually I will copy one inbox into a second inbox, so that the second 
inbox now contains all the emails from both boxes. Then I would list the 
emails by date/time and then, if I had two emails with the same subject 
*AND* the same Date/Time, I know they are the same, so can delete one.


Listing the emails just by their subjects is not good enough where you 
have many replies to the same email.


Do likewise for each of the other files.
