Also, please be aware that this is one of the places where top-posting is strongly discouraged. For what you have to contribute, put your contributions *below* quoted material (and delete stuff that's not relevant to what you have to say).

Better to have more than you need than to have less than you need. As for the file structure: 1) What you see inside SM as a folder that has no subfolders (e.g., Inbox, which has no subfolders on my system) looks like this: C:\Users\Your Windows User Name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\.default\Mail\Account Name\Inbox where is a random eight-character alphanumeric string that varies from installation to installation and Account Name is some distinctive string that allows SM (and you) to recognize which account you're dealing with. (This is for a Windows 7 system; the path above \Mozilla\ will be somewhat different on other operating systems.) So in Windows Explorer, Inbox is just a plain file, with no three-letter extension, and not a Windows folder even though it functions as a folder inside SM. There will also be a file Inbox.msf, but it's not important to back it up; it's just an index file. 2) What you see inside SM as a folder that does have subfolders (let's use Sent as an example) looks like this: C:\Users\Your Windows User Name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\.default\Mail\Account Name\Sent.sbd\ where Sent is the folder name you see in SeaMonkey and \Sent.sbd\ is a folder in Windows Explorer. There will also be a corresponding index file Sent.msf (not a folder), and again it's not important to back that up. Under the \Sent.sbd\ folder in Windows Explorer, you'll see the names of any subfolders it contains (let's say, 2012 and 2013), with the same organization and names as the ones you see in SM. If those have subfolders, they'll have the .sbd extension, but if not, they'll have no extension. Thus, the Windows Explorer files for our example look like this: ...\Index ...\Index.msf ...\Sent.sbd\ ...\Sent.msf ...\Sent.sbd\2013 ...\Sent.sbd\2013.msf ...\Sent.sbd\2012 ...\Sent.sbd\2012.msf Or in tree format: ...\Index ...\Index.msf ...\Sent.msf ...\Sent.sbd\ └─2012 └─2012.msf └─2013 └─2013.msf HTH -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

Re: support-seamonkey Digest, Vol 105, Issue 89
This is my third attempt to get help with this bug issue in Seamonkey.
Who is it that actually writes these update codes in an attempt to improve
it, but sometimes just makes things worse? They are the ones I need to
respond, please, and thank you. I will repeat the description of the bug issue
below.
{When I try to access a secure page, which requires a user name and password, I
only get a partial page. There is a data entry bar for the user name, but
nothing else; not even a button for executing the entry, or continuing, or
next or anything.
I can't proceed any further at all. With no password option, I can't access my
online financial accounts. Seamonkey is now useless to me and I will have to
change to another browser. This means all my bookmarks will have to be
re-established in another browser; very time consuming; not to mention some web
sites will not recognize the new browser, and I will have to wade through all
kinds of procedure to get everything back.}

Smith To Mr. Smith Thanks for the procedure instruction. I really appreciate it. I will try to do my best to learn the proper procedures, but I am both, old and slow. I hate to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the information and electronic age. FYI, I don't know how my responses appear as though I am forwarding my replies, because I am actually using the reply button in my OE mail window. I just sent another post repeating my bug issue, but it was before I read this one. Sorry.
