The dark side is: you can have one one file location per account. The bright side is, you can place for each account the file onto a different WIN-dir. And I have placed all folders into a structure like this: D:\_Mozilla\TB_gW\Profiles\gW\Mail\ <-- my pop accounts D:\_Mozilla\TB_gW\Profiles\gW\ImapMail\ <-- my imap accounts D:\_Mozilla\TB_gW\mailFolder\local\ <-- my local folder You see you can place it anywhere on the (WIN) PC. Now, if you want to store your "important-mail" to a very separate location, you define a dummy account. Place the folder location onto eg. 'F:\myimportantmails'. How to do: I'm using TB, but SM should be similar: this setting is at 'View seetings of the account', go to 'Server setting' .. there you have "Local directory" .. use [Browse ... ] ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: custom filesystem folders
Cristi, the short answer is "Yes and No"!
The "Local Folders" folder is, effectively, another email account, just
as your email account is an email account. If you want to have another
email account, select Edit|Mail&Newsgroup Account Settings and give
yourself another account.
You are right, I've seen that, but unfortunately I am not able to
create another account of that type. It should have been the worst
perfect solution. ("worst" because I do not need the entire directory
structure under "Local folders")
If, however, Cristi, all you're looking for is somewhere to store your
various folders from your IMAP server on your computer

Unfortunately no... My email is already oranized ( more or
less... :) ). I need specific folders on my filesystem to store the
email. One of the solutions was to create a folder under "Local
folders" by using the normal procedure, then from the command prompt
to MOVE that folder to the place I want and make a symbolic link to it
from the original position. It works but it is somehow tedious to
perform the entire cycle each time you want to create a folder.
If this is what you want, select your email account (the account name
not the inbox under your email account) and select File|New|Folder and
give it a suitable name, then move all your emails from your IMAP account.
I've tried... nothing happens. A dialog windows appears, I type the
but when I press "ok" nothing happens. No folder is
created/seen into the mail client and not folder is created in the
filesystem (looked for it with "find ~ -name ").

Under my email account, I have added extra folders for various groups of emails I receive, i.e. emails from my family goes into a folder called "2009_Sisters", email from my local astronomy group goes into my "2009_ASAW" folder, etc., etc. Then, at the end of the year, I will move all these "2009_" groups over to my Local Folders and make a group of "2010_" folders under my email account. If this is what you want, select your email account (the account name not the inbox under your email account) and select File|New|Folder and give it a suitable name, then move all your emails from your IMAP account.
