Look under "Server Settings" for that account and under "Local
directory" will give to the local path to the containing directory of
that mail account.
Example:
C:\Users\Alex\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\[SALT].default\Mail\mail.[MAIL_SERVER_URL]
AppData is hidden by default so unless you have set in Explorer you
will
not be able to see this path, and may have to specify the complete path
or use the ENV var
%APPDATA%
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\[SALT].default\Mail\mail.[MAIL_SERVER_URL]
In that folder there should be a "Sent" file which is the account's
mbox
Sent folder
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\[SALT].default\Mail\mail.[MAIL_SERVER_URL]\Sent
Thanks for your quick answer. After looking from the "server settings"
inside the "Local Directory" I have not been able to find "Sent Folder".
May be this folder must be a hided file, or do I have to create it????
Let me know what you think
You should not have to. It is auto-generated after send an email on that
account *IF* in "Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings" you have "When
sending messages:" enabled and the Sent folder set to that account. See
my example

Thanks Jonathan,
I understand , and in my "Mail & Newsgroup Accounts settings" I have
checked the option : "Automatically place a copy in "Sent" folder".........
But since Oct the 10th it had stopped working.
I had in mind that other SeaMonkey users had experienced this and that
the developers had a solution for this.
So to summarize my problem it have been working perfectly as you
describe it : "It is auto-generated after send an email on that
> account *IF* in "Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings" you have "When
> sending messages:" enabled and the Sent folder set to that account. "
but the very last e-mail sent in this folder is dated 10/10/2015.
I can manage with that as I am now manually "BCC:" my e-mails to another
e-mail address but I think that it is better to improve the quality of
SeaMonkey by warning the users and developers.
It looks like you may have had a filesystem error external to SM. If the
mbox file 'Sent' in that mail account's physical directory location gets
deleted or corrupted this could account for you trouble. This is where
*backups* are essential.
You could have used a backup from *before* 10/10/2015, find the
specified 'Sent' file and copy it to that location and name something
like 'SentBackup' so as not to overwrite the existing 'Sent' file. Of
course do this without SeaMonkey running. Then start SeaMonkey and you
will now see a new "folder" in that account named 'SentBackup' which
would have all your old sent messages. Then you could drag and drop in
SeaMonkey the messages from 'SentBackup' to 'Sent' which would
reconstruct it. Once restored delete 'SentBackup'.

Take care,
Jonathan
