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.
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:
E:\SeaMonkeyProfile\Mail\incoming.verizon.net
Frog
Another P.S.
I think I may know what the connection is between the 2.8 profile on the
E Drive and the Mozilla/SeaMonkey folders on the C Drive is all
about---there is no Profile identified within the 2.8 folder on the E
Drive. Thus, one of the SeaMonkey folders on the C Drive must include
that Profile information for the 2,8 folder located on the E Drive. Let
me see if I can display some information that draws a clearer picture of
what I am trying to say:
I do not believe that the Frog-SeaM profile. the one used for SM 1.1.19,
is a part of the ongoing problem. I will include that information in
the following information in order to make sense out of what I want to
say about 2.8 having a connection between the C Drive and the E Drive.
C:\Documents and Settings\Frog\Application Data\Mozilla
Extensions
{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}
h...@tomtom.com (refers to my GPS system)
Profiles

g72n48iz.slt
chrome

This 1.1.19 profile includes the following information that is not
included in my 2.8 profile on my E Drive:
Frog-SeaM
g72n48iz.slt
Here is what my "profile" on the E drive looks like:
E:\SeaMonkeyProfile
bookmarkbackups
Cache

extensions
{59c81df5-4b7a-477b-912d-4e0fdf64e5f2}

Local Folders (with sub-folders)
minidumps

Three out of the four SeaMonkey folders listed under C:\Documents and
Settings\Frog\Application Data\Mozilla do in fact include this type of
missing information.
SeaMonkey
Crash Reports
Profiles
SeaMonkey(2)
Crash Reports
Profiles
+ 8libd6kw.default
SeaMonkey(2)(2)
Crash Reports
Profiles
+ qv8w5dei.default
SeaMonkey(3)
Crash Reports
Profiles
+ sxrklq6a.default
Thus, I conclude that 2.8 must be using information from one of the 3
SeaMonkey folders located on the C Drive for this information. I know
that when I relocated the four C Drive SeaMonkey folders, my 2.8 wanted
to do a completely new set up...as if I had just added this software to
my system. When I put the folders back where they were previously, 2.8
worked again.
Well, if I am on the right track, it would seem that I could remove all
but one of the SeaMonkey folders on the C Drive; and I would eventually
know which folder 2.8 is using. I am sure that it is not the first
folder (SeaMonkey) that it is using---no profile information is
included. More likely, I would think the one in use would be
SeaMonkey(3)...as it was likely the last one established. In any event,
I think I could find out which one is being used through the process of
elimination. Once I find the one in use by 2.8, then what do I do next?
I don't know how to officially remove the three that are not used by
2.8. I don't know how to cause everything 2.8 to move to the E Drive.
In fact, if my thoughts above are correct, I am lost as to what to do next.
Help!
Frog
