1) Will seamonkey run under XP SP1?
yes
That's a relief! :) At least for the interim.

You click on the main folder that is supposed to contain those
subfolders, and Mozilla basically gets lost in a "black hole." In
otherwords, CPU useage goes to 100%, then literally nothing happens, and
you have to shut down the program, then get it restarted to get it
working again. This is repeatable.
close Mozilla/SeaMonkey. Look in the Mail section of of the Moz/SM
Profile. There, you will see two types of files, for example inbox
[without an extension], and inbox.msf. The files without the extension
contains your messages. The *.msf files are indexing files. With Moz/SM
closed, delete all those *.msf files. Restart Moz/SM. Did this fix
everything? After you get the program going, click on File, Compact
Folders.
Yeah, I've known about those and tried that solution for a number of
problems in the past. Sometimes it helped, and sometimes not.
For this particular problem, it hasn't helped. I have tried that
solution for this problem twice in the past, and I didn't work either
time. :-(
For mass deletion of 1700+ .msf files, use of the command line is
essential...
