Before I start, I am about to say many things in this message that

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?

If you have Thunderbird working, you could use its settings as a
reference to work out what is wrong with the SeaMonkey settings. They
both use the same settings for newsgroups and email.
I have checked the settings, one agenst the other, and the settings are
the same as far as I can see. I have made copies of both settings and
compared one against the other and that did not show any differences.
Thanks for you help.
