Thanks to Ed and Jonathan I now have my layout back again but I don't
have any of my mail folders or mails.
I originally installed the lastest version of Seamonkey and as warned no
mails were brought over from the back up. I'm used to that but can
usually go through the process of re-downloading a sizable number. This
time none of my folders of important mails have come across either. This
is an absolute disaster for me.
Firstly you have never said if this was POP3 or IMAP mail. This is very
significant because it determines *where* the email is actually stored.
If is was POP3 then the actually messages would be located on your hard
drive in subdirectories under Mail within your profile directory:
Enter "about:support" in the browser url bar
Under "Application Basics" find "Profile Folder" and click "Open Folder"
button.
There should be a "Mail" subdirectory. If you are restoring your backup
to the correct location all your POP3 accounts would be there with names
like mail.example.com or pop.example.com
I uninstalled the newest version but installing an older version still
hasn't brought back my older mails or my folders. Would trying to
re-install the back up work or have the folders gone forever?
Where the program installs is not where your profile data is located.
Possibly when your installed new version you create a new profile.
Moving to the parent direction might confirm this if you see more than
one subdirectory
random1.default
random2.default
More info required.

Take care,
