Not a bad idea on itself -- it's a lot less work, and if it works, wonderful. But from the associated text, I get the impression that all that the "repair folder" button does is to rebuild the auxiliary .msf index file -- many odd problems in mail folders are caused by corrupted .msf files. In the old times, we used to delete them by hand... However, my assumption from the OP's description of the problem was that the actual "sent." file, not the "sent.msf" file was the one damaged and treated as read-only by Seamonkey. If so, rebuilding the .msf file won't help. Compacting the folder (which essentially creates a new file and copies the still-relevant messages from the old one) MIGHT work, but if the folder is corrupted, there's always a small chance of losing data during compacting. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
