Hi,
I had to re install everything incl. SeaMonkey but, I backed
up everything before I started. How do I restore my inbox?
thanks,
Rick
There are extensive instructions in the Mozillazine kb about
migrating your profile including explanations of what's in all
the files you find in your profile
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_SeaMonkey
Thanks to all of you who responded. I think that I had saved
the wrong file and so all the fixes mentioned above would not
work. I think that I needed to save the folder Mozilla.org and
not Seamonkey.
Thanks again,
John
As i said ... your inbox is here:
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
AND mozilla.org have nothing to do with your inbox mozilla.org.
mozilla.org is the "program part" ....your inbox is in the
"profile part"
....as Daniel said ....
My first step would be "In SeaMonkey, have a look at
Edit->Mail&Newsgroup Account Settings, then select your Mail
Account then have a look at the Local directory folder at the
bottom of window. This will tell you where your profile is on
your hard drive."
Step Two Make sure all your Windows folders are un-hidden:-

http://ilias.ca/mozilla/profilefaq/#locations
Then close SeaMonkey, and continue as directed by Rob.
There is where we disagree. My inbox was indeed in a file called
Mozilla.org. there is absolutely no question about that.
John
Did you have a look, in SM, at where it thinks your Local
Directory is??
Daniel
Hi Daniel,
Yes I did, I keep a printout of all the files on my system and
update them monthly. The only inbox was in the folder Mozilla.org.
So your profile is in the wrong location .....
That maybe but, since I have reinstalled everything the question is
really mute.
I do not know what you mean the wrong place--if everything worked
that would suggest that it was in a different place but worked just
fine none the less. :)
John
John, is it possible that, way back when, you had a version of the
Mozilla Suite (the forerunner to SeaMonkey) installed on this computer??
I think it might have had it's profile at the Mozilla.org folder,
then, when you installed SeaMonkey, it may have just found that
profile and kept using it.
Maybe.
Daniel
That is a really go good point. I had not considered that.
I agree also ... anyway it looks that your profile and the program parts
are located in the same place.
If this is the case, it could be that when you go to Add/Remove program
to remove SM that this action will also remove your profile...
I hope that i am wrong... if someone can infirm or confirm...
