If all you wish to recover from the old profils is the mail folders, it's easy. Just create a new profile (it will be located in the same "Profiles" folder, but with a different random-string subfolder). Then close Seamonkey. Go to the OLD profile "mail" subfolder, copy all the files there, and paste them on the NEW profile subfolder. Next time you open Seamonkey, your messages will automagically be there. Another option is to reactivate your ENTIRE old profile. This is also easy: Close Seamonkey Go to C:\documents and settings\david\application data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\ Edit the "profiles.ini" file so it names the OLD profile folder instead of the new one. Open Seamonkey -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA.
