My wife came to me with a question about a "Full Inbox" message she
had just received on our computer. I thought to myself that somehow
the "leave messages on server" had somehow been checked in the
Preferences. I checked the "Server Settings" and found that it was
properly set.
Yes, our local inbox has many messages stored in it and it needs a
good house cleaning...which I intend to do ASAP.
Will the Local Inbox generate a "Full Inbox" message?
Everything was working just fine until I was recently moved from
Verizon to AOL...could this be the cause of my problem?
Can the present Inbox be given a different file name (allowing it to
be accessed when needed) and a new local inbox file be established?
What is a good way of keep the data that is currently in the present
inbox while at the same time having a empty inbox for new messages?
I'm sure that somebody has a quick fix for how to best deal with this
problem. Please understand, while preparing your response to my call
for help, that my technical skill are limited at best.
Any help sent my way will be greatly appreciated.
Frog, is it possible that you recently moved your e-mail account data
from one computer to another using CD's?? If so, this usually results in
the files being marked as "Read Only" so SM, logically, is unable to
write to those files.
Yes, my inbox files have been routinely moved from my older computers to
newer ones...starting from the old Netscape days to today. This is what
caused me to think it was a good time to do a royal house cleaning of my
Inbox...a very time consuming process to say the least. I still believe
it should be possible to re-designate my present Inbox message folder to
"Old" and open a new folder. Is it possible to take this type of action
and how do I do this? I think the process I am following now will be
complete some time around my 100th birthday.
In Windows Explorer, locate your e-mail account and right click on one
of the files/folders and check its Properties is not set to "Read Only".
I was moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10 some months ago...I now
understand that Windows Explorer in now File Explorer. If so, I am not
sure how to get to get to my e-mail account to click on one of the
files/folders. I can go to File Explorer and can find Inbox listed
there...but I can't figure out how to enter the Inbox to see
incoming/outgoing etc. under this heading like I once could under
Windows Explorer. I think that the messages are not Read Only, however,
as they appear as a mixture of Read and Not Read in SeaMonkey when I am
in am using the Inbox. In any event, I was unable to follow the Windows
Explorer path you suggested.
Hello Daniel...it has been some time since our last contact. I'm sorry
that I didn't reply to your message sooner. It seems that I need
multiples of me in order to keep up with my responsibilities right now.
I hope things will settle down somewhat after the start of the new
year...I certainly hope that will be the case.

Frog, what you might need to do is set yourself up with several folders
in your e-mail account. I normally have my Inbox, a Family folder, a
Church folder, a Mozilla folder (for these groups), a Usenet folder (for
my UseNet posts), a Genealogy folder, ... etc., etc. These should all be
created by SeaMonkey at the same level as your Inbox.
These can be set up, in SeaMonkey, by selecting your e-mail account then
selecting File->New->Folder and call it something you understand. Do
this as many times as you need. Then drag and drop your e-mails into the
appropriate (new) box.
I then go one step further and create an "Archives" folder under my
"Local Folders" account with a sub-folder for 2017, etc., and "Drag &
Drop" the folders from the e-mail account to the "2017" folder on or
about 1st Jan. SeaMonkey then creates a new Inbox in the e-mail account
when you re-start SeaMonkey, but you will need to re-create the other
folders.
