Have a look at Tools->Switch Profiles to see if you have more profiles

profiles being created!!

The e-mails that you have sent are stored in a file called sent. no
extension, just sent, although there should also be a file called
sent.snm, which is the index file for the sent file.

The e-mails that you receive are stored in a file called Inbox. no
extension, just Inbox, although there should also be a file called
inbox.snm, which is the index file for the inbox file.

Do a Windows Search for either of these files to find their locations.
Or, in SeaMonkey, have a look at Edit->Mail & Newsgroups Account
Settings, select "Server Settings" for your e-mail account and, at the
bottom of that screen, you should see the location of your Mail account
in the "Local directory" spot!

But what is the filename or extension I search for in indows explorer
to find the other profile on my computer.

Each profiles information is stored in a file called "prefs.js".
Each mail accounts received e-mails are stored in a fill called "inbox"
with its indexed file called "inbox.snm".
Each mail accounts sent e-mails are stored in a fill called "sent" with
its indexed file called "sent.snm".

Didn't I just type that??

You did, with numerous confusing and misleading typos.

The index files (not "fills") on Windows are *.msf, not *.snm. My Windows installation has no files anywhere in the profile named *.snm. I can't say what they will be on Linux.

Windows SM also has a file type *.sbd, which appears when a mail folder has one or more subfolders. For example, I have a folder structure like this (as viewed from inside SM):

Sent
└2006
└2007
└2008
└...

And the corresponding files are
Sent
Sent.msf
\Sent.sbd
 └2006
 └2006.msf
 └2007
 └2007.msf
 └2008
 └2008.msf
 └...

So if I wanted to transfer my entire Sent folder, I would copy the files Sent and Sent.msf and the folder \Sent.sbd.
