Subject: Re: Lost Seamonkey data
Ver: SeaMonkey 2.14.1
OS: Win 7 (64)
I started SeaMonkey today and everything had vanished, files,
folders, mail, bookmarks, everything.
I copied my backup copy of SeaMonkey, back into the original
location; C:\Users\JB\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey
This has made no difference. Kinda makes backup useless, have
I done something wrong? How can I get the data back again?
Goto Tools -> Switch profile and check if you have not inadvertently
created a new profile or changed the profile location.
There's only one profile showing, i.e. Default.
Can someone tell me the names of the files which should appear
in the SeaMonkey folder for SM to function properly please? jb
jb, the main ones that you would be interested in are Inbox and Sent
which contain your received e-mails and sent e-mails. Note that there
are also index files, e.g. Inbox.msf and Sent.msf, associated with both
these files. Don't worry about these, as they are re-created when needed.
Also, the file abook.mab contains your e-mail addresses.
Try doing a Windows Find Files/Folders for these files, to see if they
are still about.
Note that Windows is normally set to hide files/folder more than, I
think, two levels down, so you may need to turn this "Hide" function
off, via Tools or Options or something in your Windows Explorer, I think!
