for help with this in the box and so far zero response.

The problem started after a browser crash.  I suspect that there is a
page that was in this very last crashed session that is causing the
endlessly ongoing crash,  How can I clear the last session out of the
way without losing all my emails and passwords etc?

Try going into the profile and saving your mailbox and news Directories 
and folders. and possibly your passwords.


then completely remove the profile and dump in Trash (wastebasket) then 
reopen SM let it create an ew profile. Quit then add back your news and 
mail folders.

My goodness. Delete all the contents of the profile, just to see if it
was a problem with the profile? Hint: There's more there than what you've
recommended that the OP save off. Following your recommendation, he would
lose a lot of content just for this test.

Why not just create a new profile and test using that?

Normally you would, but he indicated as soon as you got to the browser 
SM dies (crashes)  and if he should have set to open on web page rather 
than than mail  news. what then?? if it will stay open long enough to 
do so by all means create a new profile. But he sounded as if as soon as 
SM opened it went to white screen then crashed.

Why not launch the profile manager?

At the very least, before you tell someone to delete a bunch of their
files (for a test) at least advise them to back up the files first.

That's the reason I suggested making back up copies of the mail and news 
folders, you can always re added your themes and extensions.


If SM will allow you to open the Profile manager by all means open 
profile menu and setting up new profile. and see what happens.

There's more there. Hopefully, no one will actually take your advice
so I suspect it doesn't really matter.
