Re: profile problems and loss of emails and local folders

[mozilla-lists . mbourne]

(I accidentally replied privately to Peter first time; sending to the 
list this time)


For some reason, your email which appears to have been sent on 24th May 
was only delivered to the mailing list yesterday (1st July), hence the 
delayed response. Anyway, replies are inline below...

Dear Sirs,

I request some help with a problem I have had with sea monkey and if you
can give me some information as to why it happened and how I can recover
lost emails and the lost contents of my local contents folders.

The situation happened when I clicked under the help menu "restart with
add  - ons disabled" which seemed to be quire innocuous
What seems to have happened is that the profile I was using has
disappeared and consequently all the emails both the In box and Sent for
all email addresses and all address books and all local folders.I send
all read emails to Local folders under different jobs and names


Did you select any of the options to make changes permanent? I don't 
think any of them should cause emails to be lost, but I'm wondering if 
the one to reset user preferences might remove the email account details 
so that they're no longer shown in Mail & News.



I have searched for various profiles in the system and the lost emails
address books and local folders are not the ones lost.

Is there  some other place where the lost profile may have been stored
sent or modified.


Alternatively it may be that, while in safe mode, you've created a new 
profile or switched to a different one. Try Tools > Switch Profile, and 
if there is more than one try each in turn to see if it's the one you 
appear to have lost.


This page explains how to find the profile folder on disk:
  http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_SeaMonkey
Basically, on Windows, it should be in a subfolder of 
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\



Also is it possible to do an automatic back up of the profile being used
on a regular basis?


I include the profile folder in my regular disk backups, using Areca Backup.

I think some others here use MozBackup (or something like that), which 
is dedicated to backing up Mozilla profiles. I've no idea where to get 
it from (possibly addons.mozilla.org) or how to use it, but perhaps 
those who use it will chip in.



Also when I tried to save an address book I had saved in a CSV or excel
file the addresses in this file saved them into a file called contacts
and no matter what I do to and have then added to Personal Address book
it appears to not be possible not possible.


I'm not sure what you mean. What is the "file called contacts" you mention?

SeaMonkey address books can be exported to CSV via Tools > Export; I 
assume that's what you've already done. I've never really needed to 
import address books, but there are options under Tools > Import > 
Address Books which look hopeful. The file you're importing would need 
to be in the right format. For CSV, it looks like you can tell it which 
address book field corresponds to each column of the spreadsheet.


You might have to import into a new address book, and then move the 
contacts into Personal Address Book if that's where you want them (just 
select the contacts in the new address book and drag them into Personal 
Address Book).



Even to bring Personal Address Book information to contact appears to
not be possible?



What do you mean by "bring Personal Address Book information to contact"?

Mark.

Good question, Daniel, but probably not the issue. She's using 2.14, but
here's the problem. While the notice is that the file can't be found, it
says that it can't be found in the *default* profile. The problem is
that at the time she's using the *new* profile, so there shouldn't be a
search for the file in the other one. Seems to be the wrong message, but
we can't make it go away.


Are you /sure/ she's using the new profile?  Did you create a new
shortcut pointing to the new profile?  If not, SM will use the default
it created.




Note: Of course there's no "bookmarks.html" in the default profile since
that was part of the brand new d/l of 2.14 into the brand new computer.
The file has not been created yet. But that's the wrong place to look!

Questions: (1) Was copying the profile contents from the saved copy into
a newly-created profile the right way to do it?, and


http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_SeaMonkey


(2) Was there
something else to do to use the new profile, other than Tools>Switch
Profiles?


Hmm.  I've never used that method so I can't be sure.  I use customized
shortcuts specifying the profile.

http://edmullen.net/mozilla/moz_commands.php

I suggest you create a new shortcut (or modify the existing one) to
point to the new profile and use that to start SM.



Thank you for a good hint. We double checked that she was, in fact,
using the new profile. We verified that both profiles existed, and
checked that both appeared in the "profiles.ini" file (which your
pointing to the Mozillazine article made me  aware of). Further the
"ini" file pointed to the new profile.

So, what was the problem? It was simple, and stupid, operator error, as
so many are. I hadn't noticed that the home page pointer in Preferences
was still pointing the Default profile. Fixed that, and voila!, problem
solved. Wouldn't have checked that for a long time if you hadn't started
me along the right path. So, thank you again!

Have a look at Tools->Switch Profiles.  How many profiles are listed??

No, if it has been converted and located.

nothing to do with 2.8---is that correct?


I would expect so!! To make certain, if you have some sort of archiving
program, archive everything under C:\Documents and Settings\Frog, (save
the archive file on your E:\, then delete everything under C:\Documents
and Settings\Frog and see if you experience any problems


As I noted in my last message,
one SeaMonkey folder does have a sub-folder Profiles that that includes
a sub-folder titled 7pq1gq46.FrogBarbara. I know that I have had
problems when it do anything to any of the SeaMonkey folders under
Mozilla...that is the reason for this question. Is it okay to delete all
of the SeaMonkey folders under Mozilla?



If you have copied/moved all the inbox's and sent'x and draft's to the

Daniel,
I finally got the nerve to move the sub-SeaMonkey folders listed under 
C:\Documents and Settings\Kermit Taylor\Application Data\Mozilla to a 
Temp Folder under E:\Temp...and 2.8 was back to behaving like a newly 
installed piece of software.  I then tried to return the SeaMonkey files 
back to their original home under Mozilla...that didn't work either 
because it informed me that such a SeaMonkey file already existed at 
that location---I was not able to find said folder.  I then created a 
new profile FrogBarbara and pointed it to the E:\SeaMonkeyProfile 
folder---2.8 was again working as usual.  I checked the C:\Documents and 
Settings\Kermit Taylor\Application Data\Mozilla location and there was a 
new SeaMonkey sub-folder under Mozilla.  This leads me to believe that 
there is a connection between the C:\..Mozilla location and the 
E:\SeaMonkeyProfile location.  In any event, I believe everything is 
working properly and that is good.  Thanks again for your help with this 
subject.

Anyway

In your new profile, you have a file
E:\(something)\FrogBarbara\incoming.verizon.net\Inbox Right??



Yes, under E:\SeaMonkeyProfile (sub-folder Mail) there is a sub-folder 
to Mail titled incoming.verizon.net.




What we want to do is collect all the other inbox's (from the other
profiles) at this same level, but with different names, i.e. Inbox1,
Inbox2, etc. Do a Windows search (Find Files/Folders) for Inbox, and, if
the locations shown indicates the file is in any of your old profiles,
change the names to Inbox1, Inbox2, etc.

Then move these files to the same location as your
E:\(something)\FrogBarbara\incoming.verizon.net\Inbox so that you will
end up with:-

E:\(something)\FrogBarbara\incoming.verizon.net\Inbox
E:\(something)\FrogBarbara\incoming.verizon.net\Inbox1
E:\(something)\FrogBarbara\incoming.verizon.net\Inbox2, etc,

and when you re-start SeaMonkey, using your FrogBarbara profile, you
should see all these inbox's listed. You can then move e-mails from the
old files into the new, and, if you now want to delete the
empty/un-needed files then close SeaMonkey and delete the
empty/un-needed files in your Windows "My Computer" or what-ever.

Now do a similar process for your Sent files!. And for the Drafts files,
if you use Drafts at all.



I now have everything I want to salvage in the E:\SeaMonkeyProfile folder.



Once you have collected all your e-mails in one location, you can, if
you wish, delete all the other profiles if you wish.

As for the Cache files, when you visit a website, the files that make up
the website are downloaded into the cache and then displayed on your
monitor. You can empty cache at any time!

SM 1.1.19 is working, with it's own profile.
SM 2.8 works with its own profile on the E:\ drive.
There are additional profiles on the C:\ that you want to
remove.

Completely close SM and do the renaming and relocation in
Windows
Explorer or "My Computer".

Just to be absolutely sure you have all your e-mails, search the
other
profile locations (not the SM 2.8 profile) for files called
inbox
and
sent (don't worry about the *.msf files. They are re-created
when
needed)

Change these file names to, for example, inbox2, inbox2-2 and
inbox3.
Same for Sent folders.

Move these renamed files to the E:\ FrogBarb profile, at the
same
level
as the inbox and sent folders of the FrogBarb profile.

Now, re-start SM 2.8 and you should see the multiply inbox's and
Sent's
listed in your profile and, if needed, you can move the e-mails
from
the
just added files into the original Inbox and Sent folders, and
then
close SM 2.8 and the, now, empty folders can be removed in
Windows
Explorer. as can the, now unnecessary, C:\ profiles.


Daniel,
I have concluded that there is an idiot in this room, and I'm not
sure
if it is the computer or me...I'm starting to think it might be
me. In
any event, I have done several things this morning to resolve my
profile
problem without success. Here is a recap of my actions so far
today.

After receiving your message this morning, I again looked in
each of
the
four SeaMonkey folders, located under C:\Documents and
Settings\Frog\Application Data\Mozilla, for any signs of inbox
and
sent
entries. I found no such stored information in the SeaMonkey
folders.

Next, I decided to build an E dive repository for all of the four
SeaMonkey folders found listed under C:\Documents and
Settings\Kermit
Taylor\Application Data\Mozilla. I then moved these folders from
the C
drive to the E drive repository. I was hoping that this action
would
would give me a way of testing my two SeaMonkey versions with
their
individual Profiles. Well, after moving the files to the new
location, I
then clicked the 2.8 ICON on my desktop and it brought me to the
window
for setting up SeaMonkey. Obviously there is a connection
between my
2.8
profile (FrogBarb) located on my E drive and the
Mozilla/SeaMonkey
folders located on my C drive.

I next decided to build a new profile on my E drive for 2.8. I
did
this
and then copied/pasted the missing folders (Mail etc.) from my
FrogBarb
profile into the new profile. That did not work either when I
attempted
to open SeaMonkey...I got another window for setting up
SeaMonkey. I
then went into Managing Profiles and deleted the new profile.
After
that, I re-establish my old FrogBarb profile. I simply started
the
steps
like I was creating a new profile with the same name as my old
profile
(FrogBarb) and pointed it to the place (E drive) where it
previously
existed...I was then back to my old profile. I again attempted to
fire
up 2.8 with the same results--setting up SeaMonkey as if it was
newly
installed software. I shut SeaMonkey down and moved the four
SeaMonkey
files, the ones I had moved to my E drive repository, back to
the C
drive where they were originally. I again fired up SeaMonkey 2.8
and it
worked normally.

I think I am back to where the morning started. My inbox, sent,
etc,
for
2,8 are all located on my E drive as they have always been.

I don't know what the tie is between the four SeaMonkey folder,
located
at C:\Documents and Settings\Kermit Taylor\Application
Data\Mozilla,
and
my 2.8 profile folder, located at E:\SeaMonkeyProfile. There
surely
is a
connection of some type and it beets me as to what that
connection
is as
this point.

It appears to me that the only solution to this problem is
backing
up my
current FrogBarb profile...removing SeaMonkey 2.8 entirely
from my
computer...reloading SeaMonkey 2.8 again...build a new profile on
my E
drive...delete Mail from the new profile and copy-paste the Mail
from by
old FrogBarb profile into the new profile...and praying that
all of
this
will resolve my problem.

Any thoughts...ideas...or recommendations welcomed.

Hang on, Frog!! Is SM 2.8 using the E: profile? And, I think you
mentioned you still have SM 1.1.19 still installed! Does it still
use a

Yes to both questions.


O.K., where does SM 1.1.19 think its profile is?? In SM 1.1.19,
have a
look at Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings and select "Server
Settings" for your E-Mail account, and, at the bottom of that
screen,
where is the Local Directory??


Good Morning,

just added files into the original Inbox and Sent folders, and then
close SM 2.8 and the, now, empty folders can be removed in Windows
Explorer. as can the, now unnecessary, C:\ profiles.


Daniel,
I have concluded that there is an idiot in this room, and I'm not
sure
if it is the computer or me...I'm starting to think it might be
me. In
any event, I have done several things this morning to resolve my
profile
problem without success. Here is a recap of my actions so far today.

After receiving your message this morning, I again looked in each of
the
four SeaMonkey folders, located under C:\Documents and
Settings\Frog\Application Data\Mozilla, for any signs of inbox and
sent
entries. I found no such stored information in the SeaMonkey folders.

Next, I decided to build an E dive repository for all of the four
SeaMonkey folders found listed under C:\Documents and Settings\Kermit
Taylor\Application Data\Mozilla. I then moved these folders from
the C
drive to the E drive repository. I was hoping that this action would
would give me a way of testing my two SeaMonkey versions with their
individual Profiles. Well, after moving the files to the new
location, I
then clicked the 2.8 ICON on my desktop and it brought me to the
window
for setting up SeaMonkey. Obviously there is a connection between my
2.8
profile (FrogBarb) located on my E drive and the Mozilla/SeaMonkey
folders located on my C drive.

I next decided to build a new profile on my E drive for 2.8. I did
this
and then copied/pasted the missing folders (Mail etc.) from my
FrogBarb
profile into the new profile. That did not work either when I
attempted
to open SeaMonkey...I got another window for setting up SeaMonkey. I
then went into Managing Profiles and deleted the new profile. After
that, I re-establish my old FrogBarb profile. I simply started the
steps
like I was creating a new profile with the same name as my old
profile
(FrogBarb) and pointed it to the place (E drive) where it previously
existed...I was then back to my old profile. I again attempted to
fire
up 2.8 with the same results--setting up SeaMonkey as if it was newly
installed software. I shut SeaMonkey down and moved the four
SeaMonkey
files, the ones I had moved to my E drive repository, back to the C
drive where they were originally. I again fired up SeaMonkey 2.8
and it
worked normally.

I think I am back to where the morning started. My inbox, sent, etc,
for
2,8 are all located on my E drive as they have always been.

I don't know what the tie is between the four SeaMonkey folder,
located
at C:\Documents and Settings\Kermit Taylor\Application Data\Mozilla,
and
my 2.8 profile folder, located at E:\SeaMonkeyProfile. There surely
is a
connection of some type and it beets me as to what that connection
is as
this point.

It appears to me that the only solution to this problem is backing
up my
current FrogBarb profile...removing SeaMonkey 2.8 entirely from my
computer...reloading SeaMonkey 2.8 again...build a new profile on
my E
drive...delete Mail from the new profile and copy-paste the Mail
from by
old FrogBarb profile into the new profile...and praying that all of
this
will resolve my problem.

Any thoughts...ideas...or recommendations welcomed.

Hang on, Frog!! Is SM 2.8 using the E: profile? And, I think you
mentioned you still have SM 1.1.19 still installed! Does it still
use a
profile on C:??


Yes to both questions.


O.K., where does SM 1.1.19 think its profile is?? In SM 1.1.19, have a
look at Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings and select "Server
Settings" for your E-Mail account, and, at the bottom of that screen,
where is the Local Directory??


Good Morning,

Here is the 1.1.19 profile location:

C:\Documents and Settings\Frog\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\Frog-SeaM\g72n48iz.slt\Mail\incoming.verizon.net

Here is the 2.8 profile location:

There are additional profiles on the C:\ that you want to remove.

Completely close SM and do the renaming and relocation in Windows

Explorer. as can the, now unnecessary, C:\ profiles.


Daniel,
I have concluded that there is an idiot in this room, and I'm not sure 
if it is the computer or me...I'm starting to think it might be me.  In 
any event, I have done several things this morning to resolve my profile 
problem without success.  Here is a recap of my actions so far today.


After receiving your message this morning, I again looked in each of the 
four SeaMonkey folders, located under C:\Documents and 
Settings\Frog\Application Data\Mozilla, for any signs of inbox and sent 
entries.  I found no such stored information in the SeaMonkey folders.


Next, I decided to build an E dive repository for all of the four 
SeaMonkey folders found listed under C:\Documents and Settings\Kermit 
Taylor\Application Data\Mozilla.  I then moved these folders from the C 
drive to the E drive repository.  I was hoping that this action would 
would give me a way of testing my two SeaMonkey versions with their 
individual Profiles.  Well, after moving the files to the new location, 
I then clicked the 2.8 ICON on my desktop and it brought me to the 
window for setting up SeaMonkey.  Obviously there is a connection 
between my 2.8 profile (FrogBarb) located on my E drive and the 
Mozilla/SeaMonkey folders located on my C drive.


I next decided to build a new profile on my E drive for 2.8.  I did this 
and then copied/pasted the missing folders (Mail etc.) from my FrogBarb 
profile into the new profile.  That did not work either when I attempted 
to open SeaMonkey...I got another window for setting up SeaMonkey. I 
then went into Managing Profiles and deleted the new profile.  After 
that, I re-establish my old FrogBarb profile.  I simply started the 
steps like I was creating a new profile with the same name as my old 
profile (FrogBarb) and pointed it to the place (E drive) where it 
previously existed...I was then back to my old profile.  I again 
attempted to fire up 2.8 with the same results--setting up SeaMonkey as 
if it was newly installed software.  I shut SeaMonkey down and moved the 
four SeaMonkey files, the ones I had moved to my E drive repository, 
back to the C drive where they were originally.  I again fired up 
SeaMonkey 2.8 and it worked normally.


I think I am back to where the morning started.  My inbox, sent, etc, 
for 2,8 are all located on my E drive as they have always been.


I don't know what the tie is between the four SeaMonkey folder, located 
at C:\Documents and Settings\Kermit Taylor\Application Data\Mozilla, and 
my 2.8 profile folder, located at E:\SeaMonkeyProfile.  There surely is 
a connection of some type and it beets me as to what that connection is 
as this point.


It appears to me that the only solution to this problem is backing up my 
current FrogBarb profile...removing SeaMonkey 2.8 entirely from my 
computer...reloading SeaMonkey 2.8 again...build a new profile on my E 
drive...delete Mail from the new profile and copy-paste the Mail from by 
old FrogBarb profile into the new profile...and praying that all of this 
will resolve my problem.


Any thoughts...ideas...or recommendations welcomed.

O.K., Frog, lets try again!!

SM 1.1.19 is working, with it's own profile.
SM 2.8 works with its own profile on the E:\ drive.
There are additional profiles on the C:\ that you want to remove.

Completely close SM and do the renaming and relocation in Windows 
Explorer or "My Computer".


Just to be absolutely sure you have all your e-mails, search the other 
profile locations (not the SM 2.8 profile) for files called inbox and 
sent (don't worry about the *.msf files. They are re-created when needed)


Change these file names to, for example, inbox2, inbox2-2 and inbox3. 
Same for Sent folders.


Move these renamed files to the E:\ FrogBarb profile, at the same level 
as the inbox and sent folders of the FrogBarb profile.


Now, re-start SM 2.8 and you should see the multiply inbox's and Sent's 
listed in your profile and, if needed, you can move the e-mails from the 
just added files into the original Inbox and Sent folders, and then 
close SM 2.8 and the, now, empty folders can be removed in Windows 
Explorer. as can the, now unnecessary, C:\ profiles.

Frog, first a couple of things to see if your e: profile works:-

1. Have a look at Tools->Switch Profiles. Do you see more than one
profile listed, and, if so, is one of the others your missing profile on
E:\ Drive??

2. In your current profile, have a look at Edit->Mail & Newsgroups
Account Settings, select "Server Settings" on your Mail account and at
"Local directory:" at the bottom of this screen, Browse to where you
think you set up your new profile on the E:\. O.K. your way out. Are you
at your "other" profile??

Report back and we'll see what we need to do next.



Just another P.S.

I was reading mozillaZin items about Profiles.ini file. The following is
a copy of that file as it currently exists on my computer (be assured
that I have not attempted to change a single letter in this file):

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/ef5mjiq8.default

[Profile1]
Name=FrogBarb
IsRelative=0
Path=E:\SeaMonkeyProfile
Default=1



Thanks for all this information, Frog.

Now I'm going to have a guess that under SM 1.x.x, you and/or Barb had
multiple profiles (Frog-SeaM, SeaMonkey, SeaMonkey (2),SeaMonkey (2)(2)
and SeaMonkey (3)


No, we only one joint profile for use for SM 1.1.19 and a similar joint 
profile for 2.8.  As I remember this situation, the old 2.8 joint 
profile on the C drive was named SeaMonkey.  The data from this profile 
was incorporated into the new E drive profile which was given the new 
name FrogBarb.


As I stated in my first message in this thread, I attempted started the 
processes leading to the eventual removal of my old 2.8 SeaMonkey 
profile from my C drive.  To be safe, I decided to rename that profile 
to OLDSeaMonkey...thinking that it would give me a chance to make sure 
everything worked without this profile folder---this was my first 
mistake.  I learned that this procedure caused 2.8 to want to build a 
new profile when it opened.  I then went back to profile named 
OLDSeaMonkey and attempted to change the name back to SeaMonkey as it 
was before.  That didn't work---the system kept saying no, a folder 
already exists with that same SeaMonkey name.  It would then rename what 
I attempted to rename (OLDSeaMonkey) to SeaMonkey_1.  After that, 
several more attempts were made to rename that profile (i.e., 
SeaMonkeyOLD, etc., none of which succeeded).


Here is my take on all of this---I think my attempt to rename these 
folders caused the creation of SeaMonkey (2),SeaMonkey (2)(2) and 
SeaMonkey (3) entries on the C drive.  Now here comes the amateur with 
his thoughts--since none of the profiles named SeaMonkey are in the 
profile manager and/or the Profiles.ini file, why can't they simply be 
deleted?  I was afraid to do this without some reassurance that I 
wouldn't cause more problems than I already have.


(or where one or other made, automatically, when SM

2.x was installed??) . and then, under me previous advice, you
created the empty E:\SeaMonkeyProfile profile (which is, basically,
empty). Right??


It appears that all of the profiles with SeaMonkey in the name are 
incomplete--even the one that was converted into the E:\SeaMonkeyProfile 
named FrogBarb.  Here is the complete picture of these SeaMonkey folders:

If the E:\ Profile is empty, might be easiest to just delete it and the 
delete SM 2.8 (by using the Windows Add/Remove function), then do a new, 
CUSTOM, install of SM 2.8 into the location you want and let it 
copy/upgrade your SM 1.x.x default profile into the E:\ location of your 
choice.


Then, to get your other SM 1.x.x profiles converted into SM 2.x format, 
you will need the assistance of others hereabouts, as I don't know how 
to upgrade them.

Here is a P.S. to my earlier message.

I only find default and FrogBarb listed in my 2.8 listing.

I have Frog-SeaM listed in my 1.1.19 listing.

I don't have SeaMonkey listed in either listing.

Daniel,

Thanks again for helping me...it helps to know that you have background 
on my previous profile endeavors.


Answer to question 1:  I see default and Frog/Barb...neither being my 
old SeaMonkey profile.


Answer to question 2:  Local directory: E:\SeaMonkey 
Profile\Mail\incoming.verison.net.  The name of the folder where my 
recently created Frog/Barb profile resides is E:\SeaMonkeyProfile, and 
this folder includes a sub-folder Mail\incoming.verizon.net.
