At present I have one computer running Win 7 . I am trying to use Seamonkey for 
both browsing and mail . As mentioned in previous posts I have been using the 
Webmail interface to read / reply my mail on the ISP's mailserver. My mail has 
piled up and the postmaster is after me to clear some space :-)
I would like to download all the mail (inbox/sent etc) to my computer and 
delete all mail on the ISP's server. The ISP recommends using IMAP rather than 
POP mail. I looked at the settings for mail in Seamonkey and the choices 
confuse me. I hate to make the wrong choices and loose all that data.

Under Mail & News groups Account settings -> copies & folders->
When sending messages place a copy Sent Folder [1] folder on xxx @ shaw.ca or 
[2] local folder

There are similar choices for message archives,drafts and templates but no 
mention of inbox .

Under Mail & News groups Account settings ->synchronization & space , there is a place to 
tick for "keep messages for this account on this computer" but nothing else .

So I am confused and concerned about messing things up :-)

If you use POP, there is no problem about disk space on the ISP mail server.
All your mails are on your disk  after "getting" them automatically 
or after pushing on the "Get Msgs" button.

I don't understand why your isp hate pop .

I have 3 computers that I use for access to 1 IMAP account on 1&1 
Internet ISP and I love that they are synchronized so that what is 
deleted on one is deleted on all.  But, I do have the problem of running 
out of space on the server.  Deleting the Trash helps but every once in 
a while I have to clear out my Inbox.


Since you are using only 1 computer the easiest solution to "How do you 
setup synchronisation with simultaneous deletion of the source?" is to 
set up a POP mail account with your ISP in the mail client portion of 
Sea Monkey.


Initially, set up POP to read but Leave Mail on server.  Some eMails do 
not allow this, yahoo comes to mind.  Once you satisfy yourself that you 
can delete from the POP mail Inbox on your computer, etc. without 
deleting mail on your ISP's server and deleted mail from your ISP's 
server has no effect on what has already been downloaded to your 
computer you can set up POP mail to Delete Mail from the server as it is 
downloaded.


I have POP mail accounts set up on all 3 of my computers but they are 
not used and do not download until I am ready.  When my ISP complains I 
download into all POP accounts and then empty out my ISP IMAP Inbox and 
trash folder.  My choice is to empty out myself instead of letting the 
3rd POP mail account Delete Mail from the server as it is downloaded.


Also, use [1].  Could not find: "->synchronization & space ."

Hope this helps.

Create a folder on your local system, for this example I will assume 

/home/harsha/Documents/MyMailArchive 

Then in SeaMonkey Mail go to the inbox select ALL the messages in the 
index pane that you want to archive and right-click "Save As..." and 
select the folder above and all emails will be saved as individual EML 
files. Then you can delete away from your your inbox. 

Take care,

See this page:



It's for Thunderbird but it applies to SeaMonkey as well.



The last item is what you want:

"Archive some of your older mail. However, if you simply move them to 
another folder on your IMAP server, you won't win back any space. To 
resolve this, you need to set your "Archive" folder under your "Local 
folders" account and not as a subfolder of your IMAP account. "


The "Local folders" are not synched with the IMAP server. So, if you 
move messages from, say, the Inbox to Local folders, they will disappear 
from the IMAP server.

Good. It's not supposed to be valid. If I use a valid address here, I'll 
get buried in spam because spammers can harvest addresses from these 
fora. But a human being looking at that address can usually figure out 
what part to change to make it valid.

Thank you Paul for the advice. I do recall about the "Delimiter" from Fido(?) 
but forgot all about it in the recent years. 
Also I recall that top-posting really upsets some folks . I will try to 
remember that custom also. 
Yes I am using the webmail interface of my ISP. That's the reason for the 
current rush to learn about IMAP and synchronisation

At this point I am using Webmail on the ISP's mail server to read & reply my 
mail . It has nearly reached my quota of the space. I need to clear some space 
on that server (messages from the postmaster :-) ). However it is stuff that I 
want to save for future reference. So instead of deleting that mail, I want to 
download it on to my computer. 

My ISP's server supports both POP and IMAP prtocols and they recommend using 
IMAP. 

I want to download all the mail (and various sub-folders) on to my system and 
delete it all from the ISP's server. 

Thunderbird was recommended but I find it a bit overpowering :-) and I do 
prefer the Browser+Mailer combination of Seamonkey. 

I looked at "synchronise option" but find it confusing ( thats my own lack of 
grey-cells). So how do I download the mail (inbox/sent mail/ address-book etc) 
and simultaneously delete it from the ISP's server. The messages go back 
several months :-( 

My OS is Win-7 and I downloaded Seamonkey v2.40. I would appreciate some help 
in setting up that "Synchronise" feature. 
Thanks for your help.

There is something that is not clear, to me,on that page. 
If I setup IMAP to synchronise messages on the server and my computer : 
Does it automatically delete the copies on the server : 
if so how does one set up IMAP to do that? 
If not how does one setup IMAP to do that?

You need to clarify what you mean by "mail server".
If it's a P0P3 server, you'd normally set up SeaMonkey to download the 
mail each day and (by default) delete it from the POP3 server at the 
same time. This way, your email will only exist on your local machine 
and you will need to have good local backup.


Many people use "web based email" which is really just an HTML web page 
showing you the messages (inbox / sent) on your ISPs big central server 
(some support IMAP), and your ISP would be "responsible" for backup.


The help file inside SeaMonkey has good information on setting up email 
accounts.

I have nearly 1.0GB of data on my ISP's mail server (including Inbox/Sent etc 
going back a long time). I am going to install Seamonkey24.0 on my system. I 
would like to download all that data onto my computer including all the old 
messages. Can I do this With Seamonkey? If so I would appreciate any help you 
can provide. Thank you.

See this page:

It's for Thunderbird but it applies to SeaMonkey as well.
