I get that occasionally & when I do I try the following: 1. Right click on 'Inbox', then 'Properties' then click on 'Repair Folder'. 2. Shut down SeaMonkey & restart. 3. 2. Right click on the account name & click on 'Get Messages for Account'. If that doesn't work repeat 1, shut down SeaMonkey, and then delete the .msf files for the account (Troubleshooting|Profile Folder:Show Folder|Mail|<account>, then restart SeaMonkey. Not 100%, but seems to work most of the time. Give it a try. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
