Can you actually open the message from where it is and read the
content, or do
you only see the subject, date, etc. in the list of messages? If you
can't open
the message, it may be that only the headers are downloaded, not the
full message.
I see the whole message, because I've already selected to synchronize
the account and I also downloaded everything (using Offline command).
That's what I thought, but just checking.
but when I try to drag-and-drop to move them to a local folder
nothing happens, and if I use the menu move/copy SM alerts me that the
mail server is unreachable.
So, how can I move them to another folder?
You could try setting SeaMonkey to offline mode - File > Offline > Work
Offline. I don't know if that will work, but it might be enough to tell
SeaMonkey to work with the cached copy, rather than trying to get any
updates
from the server first.
It is working with the cached copy, because the mail server has been
shut off.
The domain doesn't even exist anymore.
Although it might show the cached version when you open the mail, I was
thinking it might try accessing the server if you try copying or moving
it. Did you actually try in offline mode?
You may also have more luck copying rather than moving the message,
since that
won't try to delete the copy off the server.
Nothing happens. This is really odd. Do you know if there's a safe way
to move it "manually"?
Sorry, I can't think of anything else other than manually modifying the
mail files in your profile folder (as Mason83 mentioned). Though I
wouldn't really describe that as "safe".
Mark.
