Someone who knows more about the inner workings of Seamonkey would probably be able to give better advice, but I'd start thinking about creating a new profile and copying whatever can be rescued there if I was in that situation. Use http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_SeaMonkey#Files_and_folders_in_the_profile to help you decide what you want to try and save.  The problem is that some of this stuff will be corrupt.

Best of luck


Thanks, that's exactly what I was doing yesterday (still not finished, because I'm taking the opportunity to organize my multiple accounts in 2 profiles, personal and professional, and cleaning up accounts no longer used). Fortunately, by now everything I'm moving is showing up non-corrupted. The only problems are with filters that don't find the new path sometimes and get deactivated in the newe profiles. I must go one by one, each of them that fail, and re-assign the correct folder where to move filtered messages.

I still haven't tried to pass address book or bookmarks, nor made all the configurations in browser and mail. But I don't think it will be a big problem.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I absolutely recommend the "moving to new profile" approach if somebody gets in similar trouble.
