Before I start, I am about to say many things in this message that have
already been the subjects of some of my earlier messages. Quickly
stated...I am not making any progress in finding a solution for my
SeaMonkey problems.
I really am having great difficulty making SeaMonkey work on my
computer. I am not able to open any messages on the m.general or the
news.mozilla.com news groups. Also, my responses to Inbox messages are
not being stored in my Sent folder (I don't know if they are being
recorded anywhere on my computer--simply put, they are lost). My
SeaMonkey folders are stored on my E drive:
(SeaM_AboutConfig...SeaMonkeyAddNk...SeaMonkeyProfile).
I am receiving daily messages on my computer to the effect that
SeaMonkey has crashed. I have tried to chase down what might be causing
this endless string of problems without much success. Let me say,
however, that I suspect that my problem is associated with moving from a
32 bit software program to a 64 bit SeaMonkey program...this thinking is
based on the date that I changed from 32 to 64 bits SeaMonkey software.
Please note that I am currently writing this message on Thunderbird and
all is working properly with this software. Also, I am using Windows 10
for both SeaMonkey and Firefox/Thunderbird. Also, I have used Webroot
Secure Anywhere software on everything on my computer without any
problems being found.
With all of the above said, here is where I need your help. I have in
my mind that I must remove/reinstall SeaMonkey on my computer.
I have copied the three folders listed above in this message to a
different location on my computer...hopefully I will be able to fix any
problems that occur as a result of redoing my SeaMonkey software. Am I
correct?
The drive that the backups are recorded in is on the same drive (E)
where they were originally recorded...in a folder named
Backup_Seamonkey. This should keep this data secure...correct?
I'm not sure which SeaMonkey software should be reinstalled on my
computer-32 or 64 bit...it seems like it should be the 64 bit version.
Is this a good guess?
Would it be a better choice to give up on SeaMonkey and turn to
Firefox/Thunderbird for my internet work? This action would also
involve training another person on how to use the new software.
What other problems should I consider before I goof up my computer and
not be able to communicate with anybody for help?

Frog, you peaked my interest when you mentioned that you were switching
SeaMonkey FROM 32-bit TO 64-bit .... but, then, when I looked at your
Thunderbird User Agent (i.e. the program that *IS* working) it shows you
are using the WOW64 bit program which, as I understand it, is a 32-bit
Operating System program that has been set up to run on a 64-bit machine.
And now you are installing a 64-bit SeaMonkey program on an Operating
System that has been modified to run as though it is a 32-bit Operating
System.
My advice, for what it's worth, is to try setting up the 32-bit
SeaMonkey on your (sort of) 32-bit Operating System computer.
If my advice is incorrect, I expect someone here to let you (and ME) know!!
