I recently change my hosting company, and "lost" a couple of accounts in
the process. They're not really gone, it's just that SM doesn't display
them. Here's what I did; I hope you can tell me how to unhide them.
During the period of overlap, when both hosting companies were active
and operating normally, I kept my existing mail accounts untouched and
created parallel new ones with the same email addresses but different
account names and different server data. This way I could poll both
servers and catch stray messages from the old server while also
retrieving messages received on the new server. When DNS was updated,
most of the messages started showing up in the new email accounts. So
the list looked like this:
"Username1" <[email protected]> (old server settings)
"Username2" <[email protected]> (old server settings)
"Username1 new" <[email protected]> (new server settings)
"Username2 new" <[email protected]> (new server settings)
That worked fine.
This morning, seeing that almost all my mail was now showing up in the
"Username1 new" and "Username2 new" accounts, I decided to transpose the
server settings so my mail would be received in the "Username1" and
"Username2" accounts where all my folders are located and all my mail
filters apply. If a couple of stragglers show up in the revised
"Username1 new" and "Username2 new" accounts (which now have the old
server settings), I can easily drag and drop them to the correct
folders, and eventually delete these old accounts.
Well, on restarting SeaMonkey, I saw only:
"Username1" <[email protected]> (new server settings)
"Username2" <[email protected]> (new server settings)
The other two accounts had vanished. However, I can still see them in
the profile folder in Windows Explorer, and when I open their Inboxes
with Notepad I can see their contents (a couple of stray messages that I
would like to save).
How can I get SeaMonkey to recognize and display the other two accounts?
It doesn't matter a lot -- I can still view the messages on the old
host's webmail -- but I'd still like to be able to keep them until I'm
good and ready to delete them by my own choice.
Thanks.
