Yes. You can remove all the .msf files in the ImapMail subdirectory of the profile. However, they will return when you visit the folder. When your IMAP server is on a fast link, the most effective is probably to turn off the local copying of all mail. It will be only on the server. Remove all files without extension after you have done that. > Should I move the files before or after changing the "Local Directory" > Server Setting?

That is not how it works. Seamonkey sends a delete to the server when you delete a message. The server marks the message for deletion, and performs all the deletions when you issue an EXPUNGE command (as indicated in the "cleanup on exit" and "remove messages when it saves XXX" settings). Not being in the local files is no reason to delete mail on the server, rather it is an indication to re-download that mail. When you remove a file from the ImapMail directory, it will again be downloaded. The only "valuable" file in ImapMail (that you should not delete) is the messagefilter.dat file. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
