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.
If these were POP accounts in SeaMonkey and you just want to recover
"folders" like inbox, sent, etc.
With Seamonkey closed go to your profile directory and under 'Mail'
directory will be your old server account directories, e.g.
'pop.example.com', 'mail.example.com'. In that directory will be mail
folder mbox files (files with no extension).
Yes, I know that, and eventually I did that.
But what I wanted was to avoid the hassle of recreating all the server
settings so I could continue to poll the old server for straggler
messages. Even three days later, after DNS updated and propagated, I'm
still getting a few straggler messages on the old server.
So as I said, I copied the folders to my new accounts, launched SM and
dragged and dropped the messages to the relevant folders, deleted the
old accounts, closed SM and deleted them in Windows Explorer as well,
and then recreated them by hand so I can continue to poll the old server
for stragglers.
Eventually the old host (Hostway) will figure out that I've left and
stop sending bills for the service I don't want or need. They've been
nasty and incompetent enough that they don't deserve a proper notice of
my departure; let them waste time and energy chasing after me.
