Sorry, should have been more specific. I can't see anything other than
the Gmail inbox from within Seamonkey. When I look with a file manager,
all the files are in place, and all of them have the correct owenership
and permissions.
Okay that helps rule out and obvious filesystem issue which can happen
when restoring files in a profile when say using a live session and
you elevate privileges with sudo.
Seemed no reason for that - if nothing else, its been a while since I
last had to rebuild the profile, and there are no signs of any other
file system problems. Certainly worth checking though.

Strange, but have you done the obvious things first.
Start SeaMonkey in safe mode to rule out some extension interfering here?
I hadn't done that. :) I've never had a need to start Seamonkey in safe
mode before, had to do a search to find out how to do it.
Starting in safe mode works - all accounts are back and all folders
under the gmail account are visible again. I then tried disabling all
the external extensions and restarting in normal mode. Same problem.
I've not yet tried disabling standard extensions. I guess that would be
the next step....
And for problem mail folders right-clicking on folders and click
"Properties > Repair folders"?
Tried that for all folders under all accounts, no change. Still comes up
with only the gmail inbox visible if I start in normal mode.
Lastly, are all the accounts IMAP or are some POP3? If they are all
IMAP then just removed all the accounts and recreate them since all
the mail is on the server and see if you somehow have corrupted the
account settings.
All the accounts are IMAP, so I guess that is probably what I'll try
next, though the fact that they seem normal and available in safe mode
makes me think that the problem is elsewhere.

Is it the same setup on the Desktop that you wish to have duplicated
on the Laptop? If so, why not just copy the one from the desktop and
put it on your laptop and point to the profile in the profile.ini?
:) I thought of that. Problem is, they aren't identical. I use the
laptop a lot more than I use the desktop, so there are big differences
in the bookmarks and also in the stored passwords. I did have a list of
which files are involved for those - maybe I can copy the profile from
the desktop and then replace the book mark and password files. I'll make
another backup of the laptop profile and give that a try, once I work
out which files I need (places.sqlite and signons.sqlite, I think....).
Thanks for the suggestions. Any other ideas - I don't really want to
start disabling standard extensions without some idea of what I'm doing.
Paul.
