It may be that you need to click away some notices by Windows that
you do not need to go there. It may also be that you need to
go to Extra -> Options and checkmark the "show hidden files" option.
In that location you should find a profiles.ini and one or more
subfolders with funny names. See what you have there, what date
and time there is on those folders and show us the content of that
profiles.ini file.
That should help locating the folder that holds all your previous
mail and settings.
Hallo
Good news, bad news
I've found the file but it's dated 18 Jan. SeaMonkey was working fine
on 12 Jan. It wasn't on 13 Jan. The bookmarks is only 1KB and it
should be a /lot/ bigger than that. An out of date version is 330KB.
It probably should be closer to 500KB now. It looks as though the
browser side is totally gone. Two folders of collated bookmarks were
recently added to but I should be able to use the old version to
re-create the majority which I'll do manually.
Under the Mozilla heading, all the mail up to the crash date seems to
be there. Looking at the Inbox file on one of the two main accounts,
it's showing 73,011 KB, which sounds about right. The Inbox.msf file
is reading 183KB. All the email accounts are there and a quick check
is showing that recently added folders under the Local Folders heading
are also there.
Question is how do I get those mails and folders back? Do I trust
SeaMonkey not to crash again given that those who've had a similar
thing happen have been using different OSs and/or versions of
SeaMonkey? Or do I try Thunderbird if it's possible to transfer from
one program to the other? Will the mails and folders transfer intact
from my original 1.1.14 via 2.0.14 to a newer version or will it all
turn turtle again?
I know, loads of questions but I'm wary of SeaMonkey now.
