I back up using Mozbackup. I restore using that. It's worked every

Mozbackup reported the backup file was missing or corrupted. However,
the Firefox back up restored perfectly.
There is nothing on the new machine relating to SeaMonkey except for
the program itself. I rather suspect there is something in the
registry for the latest version that's overriding the older version I
tried to install and preventing the folders and mails from being
restored.
My options appear to be
(1) forget about a decade's worth of saved research mails and all
recent mails since they will not download and one of those is for the
rights release to a novel.
(2) Manually resend each saved and recent mail of which there are
2000+ and sort them all out into their folders again.
(3) Dump the new computer at the tip
(4) Get my old machine stabilised (if possible) and go back to using
that.
I used to be able to find and remove any left over parts of programs
on my old XP machine. I can't do it on Win10.
There was a 5th option but apparently you do not wish to either answer
my questions or follow my instructions. Oh well...
Well, he has said his backup is corrupt and his new machine has only the
new virgin profile. Can you still help? Where else should he look?
