Of course, with "looking in" I mean reading the file, and checking that what it says is corresponding with the actual situation on your disk. I also suggested that you paste the content of that file here, so that it can be used as a basis for further discussion. Normally it will have the name of the folder that holds your profile on the last line (assuming there is only one profile) and you should check that this folder exists and holds the usual collection of configuration files (prefs.js, several .sqlite files, several .rdf files, two .mab files, and subfolders one of them named Mail) The profiles.ini and this profile folder should be treated as a unit. When you pick a profiles.ini and a profile folder from different places (e.g. another computer, an old backup, a new installation) and put them together the system will not recognize the combo as a valid configuration and it will look like you have lost everything, while that is not the case. But with patience you can rebuild profiles.ini when you still have the profile folder with the correct contents. Look in the Mail subfolder to see if you still have your mailfolders. (there should be files with no extension and a size corresponding to whatever mail you have saved, and .msf files with the same names but a lot smaller in size) _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
