That was what he wanted!

It is drastic what he wants to accomplish. I agree he probably did not realize that mail accounts are part of about:config customization, and that they are lost when reset to defaults. It is possible to write a small program that removes everything from prefs.js except the mail.account mail.identity and mail.server entries, and it will then reset everything to default but keep the accounts. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
