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.
Once you have copied
C:\documents and settings\david\application
data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ot85ufde.default\Mail
to somewhere else for safety, I would recommend just going through
the "New e-mail account" wizard, giving it all of your standard
data, and then, when the wizard has finished, using :
Edit / Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings /
<Your new account> / Server Settings /
Local Directory / Browse ...
and then browse to
C:\documents and settings\david\application
data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ot85ufde.default\Mail
I can't guarantee that this will work, because under my corresponding entry :
D:\Documents and settings\All Users\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\********.***
I have no Mail; I have ImapMail, Cache & Chrome.
Good luck.
