Hi I use Seamonkey exclusively here. I know the there is an excellent utility
called MozBackup for the Mozilla emailers but it does not allow INCREMENTAL
(!!) backups where one can incrementally add new emails or configurations and
store them or for backup/updates or transport to another computer or laptop or
on to a USB thumb/CDROM drive.
Also, working in an office environment, some employers, quite understandably
will not permit direct CAT5 ethernet network or Wireless connections to their
network with privately owned laptops or desktops.
A native backup/update facility to, say, a thumb drive or CDROM would permit
syncing the office system with one's own notebook/laptop etc., quite
independently from any networking requirements..
Ideally, it would be wonderful IF there was one, in-built utility which will
allow both incremental and normal backups of emails, user
configurations/mailing lists and add-ons that is native to Seamonkey and other
Mozilla emailers.

Everyone should be performing regular backups of their hard drives to
another hard drive. I am using an iMac and the Apple supplied Time
Machine automatically provides hourly, incremental backup of my hard drive.
Also every day I run a hard drive cloning program Carbon Copy Cloner
which does an incremental clone backup (only backing up that which has
changed since the last time a clone was made). The clone of my hard
drive is bootable.
Both of these options allow me to restore all my saved emails in the
event of a hard drive crash.
Therefore I believe most users would not require a separate email
archive program if they also have a good backup plan. For users who want
to remove old emails from their SeaMonkey profile and store them in a
backup archive, then a special application or SeaMonkey extension to
perform the archiving of old emails may be useful.
