Well, this doesn't look as a "lost messages" case, it looks like a "failed to import messages" case. The messages are PROBABLY still where they always were -- in the old Seamonkey 1.1.x profile. They just weren't copied to the new profile. In this case, the simplest thing to do would be to copy the old "inbox." file to the new profile. I really don't remember right now where the old profile is located, but the new one should be on C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\[random string].default\Mail I must warn, while mail folders are pretty safe, most other stuff shouldn't be simply copied from the old profile to the new one -- there were format changes and whatnot that can cause problems. The recommended procedure is to use the import tool. By the way, 43,000 messages is a pretty big inbox. In my experience, after a few thousand messages, performance degrades a lot. You might wish to eventually move older messages to another folder. And... just checking: when you say you loaded 2.0.3 "over" 1.1.17, did you by chance force it to install in the same folder as 1.1.17? Because, well, there are technical reasons why the default install folder has changed... mainly, that the program changed enough that installing over the old one is a Bad Idea. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
