In preferences, I can set up a folder for drafts

bacon several times when there were power
failures or 'screw-ups' on my
part.
I was wondering if there is a way to set the
time frame for recording
those drafts - i.e. every 30 seconds or so many
minutes, etc so as to
make sure everything is 'captured'.
The default is to automatically save every 5
minutes.
You can adjust the time frame, as a whole number
of minutes.
For a description of the settings, go to
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mail_and_news_settings#Mail.>
and scroll down to find these two settings
mail . compose . autosave
mail . compose . autosaveinterval
To adjust the settings in SeaMonkey
1) In the SeaMonkey browser, enter
about:config
in the URL bar
2) If you get a warning "Here be dragons!",
then click "I'll be careful, I promise"
3) In the search box, enter
mail.compose.autosave
4) To adjust the interval (in minutes),
right-click on
"mail.compose.autosaveinterval"
and choose "Modify".
5) To switch autosave between on (true) and off
(false),
right-click on "mail.compose.autosave"
and choose "Toggle".
Thank you for this help, Mr. Fox !

I believe using Edit > Preferences > Mail &
Newsgroups > Composition, placing a check mark in
the check box for "Automatically save the message
every [x] minutes" and setting the minutes is the
preferred method.
Yes - it is there!
I set it for every minute.
It absolutely makes me insane to type a big
'letter' to someone and then have ALL of it lost
if something goes haywire !
I have a friend who uses whatever is in the MS
Mail thing and he gets PO'ed too. But I can't
help him....he won't use SeaMonkey - poor soul.
