We are running SM 2.0.14 on a Windows XP-SP3 system. My wife rather
casually advised my this morning that all our mail accounts were gone.
When I tried to start SM Mail, I got the New Account Setup Wizard panel
rather than the normal display of all our mail and newsgroup accounts. I
tried using Mozbackup to save a copy of the profile but it said the
profile was corrupted. So I manually copied the profile to a new folder
and then restored the profile from a copy made a few days ago during our
normal backup run. I started SM Mail and all our accounts were back.
Some emails since the backup were, of course, lost but we can retrieve
them if we need to. I have no idea what corrupted the profile. Since 2.1
is coming out next week I don't think I'll try to file a Bugzilla
report. My question is was the action I took the best way to recover
from the problem or was there some other, maybe simpler, action I should
have taken?
