OK, first I want to apologize for the frenetic state of my previous
messages regarding this issue. It was late at night, I panicked and
this explains the lack of clarity in my messages regarding this issue.
Let me explain the situation in terms which, I hope, will be clearer.
I am using Seamonkey 2.4.1 on a Windows XP Pro machine running SP3 if
that is all relevant. I had been having issues with certain Web pages
loading slower than normal. I did pretty much all of the right things:
disabled all unnecessary and even some necessary add-ons, defragmented
not only the hard drive but the Seamonkey program and data folders,
checked to see what was in startup, checked for viruses, malware, etc.
When none of that worked I wondered if resetting the program to its
default settings might improve things. I did a little bit of reading on
how running Seamonkey in Safe mode gives you the option of restarting
Seamonkey normally allowing the user to choose whether addons are
disabled, toolbars are reset, etc. I did this including checking the
box to get rid of user preferences not assuming this includes email
account information. I then restarted seamonkey normally, not in safe
mode, and found that bringing up the email window triggered the new
account wizzard.
I do see that my old email folders from my various accounts still seem
to exist in the folder
C:\documents and settings\david\application
data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ot85ufde.default\Mail
My question is this: what can I do to get Seamonkey to realize or to
"know" that it is to look in this folder for my email instead of
bringing up the new account wizzard. I do not have a backup copy of the
prefs.js file but I am not afraid to modify either it or any settings in
about:config with guidance. I hope this clarified my situation.

Doesn't say anything about deleting email accounts ... :-/
Well, the accounts are stored in the prefs.js. And if you reset the
pref.js... *g*
Luckily the mails are still in the profile and can be recovered even if
the old pref.js can not be found in the Trash of Win.
I've just noticed that David started a new thread with some further bits
of details. See: "I'm Closer to Fixing Issue with Deleted Emails".
He did. Unfortunately. But now it's too late because...
David: reply to your current thread instead of creating new ones.
...the current thread is now the new one in which i had given some hints. ;)
