In my other thread, it was suggested I set up a new profile. If my
problem is not fixed beforehand, I'll do that when the first ESR

Do you not understand you can have as many profiles as you want. Rather
than mess with a profile that might be OK, copy it with a different
name, and play with that one. Or, create a new, clean one.
Start SM from a shortcut. Open the shortcut preferences. Make the
"target" look like;
H:\SM246-Win\seamonkey.exe -Profilemanager
SM will now always start with Profile manager. Select "create new
profile". Give it the name of your copy. Lead it to where you put the
copy and have it "create" that.
Now when you run SM you will always select the profile you want for that
session, and you will never fall into the trap of running with a profile
that an update created, and wondering where your mail went.
And, broken record alert!! Get the profile out of the app, and get the
mail out of the profile. They are all different things, get updated in
different ways, and fail in different ways. It is much easier to deal
with them separately.
And to get really radical, I have been using SM since it was called
Netscape. And I have never used an EXE "installer", I have always used
the ZIP distros; unzip, rename, create a shortcut, run. And I will
never copy one OS or app over a previous. Sometimes the new doesn't
work. In the case of SM you can have as many versions as you have HDD
space. So you can "softly" transition from older to new, and go back if
you want. Once when looking for the date/time of a bug insertion, I had
twenty versions on the HDD; run one at a time.
