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.
Well my guess is you have some extension interfering. Disable all
extensions and then enable one by one to find the offender. Tedious, but
should fix your problem.
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.
Yes, I'd say it is an extension misbehaving.

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.
There is no standard extension that when disabled would stop SeaMonkey
for working. The only "standard extensions" installed by default on
Ubuntu is just ChatZilla and DOM Inspector, neither of which is
essential to SeaMonkey

Take care,
