Hi,
I had to re install everything incl. SeaMonkey but, I backed up
everything before I started. How do I restore my inbox?
thanks,

Exit from SM before doing any of the following.
Find the folder in which your current (new, and presumably empty)
inbox is located, and copy your saved inbox (filename = inbox) to
that folder, replacing the existing (new, empty) inbox.
(There's also a file inbox.msf which I understand to be an index
file for inbox. Let's let someone more expert than I confirm - but
so far as I know, you should delete the "inbox.msf" file from your
new folder, and SM will automatically regenerate it when you open
your inbox.)
The inbox folder location depends on your operating system and
choices you made when you installed SM. In my case, it's in "Local
Folders" under "Mail" under my "xxxxxxxx.slt" folder. If you don't
use the global inbox, it could be in a folder named for your ISP,
again under the "Mail" folder.
Back up anything you're about to delete or overwrite, just in case.

I have a similiar problem but, I can not find anything called "inbox.*"
I have two files:
C:\Documents and Settings\RAY\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\gt6bfqi6.slt\Mail\pop.scarlet.be\inbox
and
C:\Documents and Settings\RAY\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\gt6bfqi6.slt\Mail\pop.scarlet.be\inbox.msf
Ray, the second file, the inbox.msf file, is an index file of the first
file. It is the first file, inbox (without the suffix bit), that
actually contains your received e-mails.
You can delete the inbox.msf file and the next time you go to your mail
account, a new, up-to-date, inbox.msf file will be created. Some even
advocate deleting your inbox.msf file if you are having problems with
your mail.
If you delete your inbox (without the suffix), you are deleting the
actual email messages.
