No. If you've looked in your profile directory and the mail folder files are not there, re-installing SeaMonkey won't make them appear. If the files really aren't there, then I have to wonder if you're looking in the correct location. Someone else here usually provides some information that helps locate the profile directory - perhaps they will chime-in now and help? Otherwise, I'm not sure what the problem is. Do you have a back-up of your profile? How about your disk? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
