e.g. SeaMonkey keeps your received emails in one file called "inbox".
There is also an index file called "inbox.msf", which is not needed as a
new one is created when needed.
If you have an "inbox" file on your external drive, rename it so that it
does not write over the top of your current "inbox".
In SeaMonkey, have a look at Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings,
select "Server Settings" on your Mail Account and note the "Local
Directory" location. Under this location, you will find your current
"inbox". Copy your renamed inboxes to this location.
Restart SeaMonkey, and you should now see all the additional inboxes in
your mail profile. The new index files will be created when you access
the new inboxes.
All well and good for the case where the OP leaves all his incoming mail
in Inbox. I don't think I know anyone who does that, and I've even been
advised not to because some email programs can become cranky or buggy if
Inbox gets too big. I personally have dozens of other folders to which I
have moved incoming messages, including some to which I automatically
filter them.
Yes, Paul. so if the OP had saved/copied the entire mail account, rather
then just the inbox, sent, etc, he would have an entire mail account in
the new location!!
