Archiving Mail. I do backup to an external hard disc, but never thought of looking there, because it wasn't set up to back up my C:\ drive; only docs, pics, etc. In future, I will be making a manual copy of the archives in the C:\ drive.

I've been on computers for years, but not too techie, due to production push. When my laptop turned blue (constant blue screens), I sent it back to HP for repair, specifically asked them to save all my files. When it came back, all the mail files on the C:\ drive were gone, together with all my added software programs. I was able to reinstall all the extra programs, but all the mail was lost. So, isn't that a call for copying those C:\ files somewhere off the computer for safekeeping - disc, external drive? ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 06:53:48 -0400 From: "G.

Get a portable hard drive that plugs into the USB port and a good backup program. Do a backup regularly, and next time you can just restore the new drive to the point of your last backup. I worked in a hospital once that had also never heard of a backup. The hard drive crashed on one of the office computers. They sent the drive to have the data retrieved but somehow the thing was thrown away. Years of data lost forever. -- GW Ross Don't worry about the future, sooner or later it's the past. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
