Frog, you may have noted posts from Paul and NoOp complaining about us (you and me) not trimming our posts, and quoting and quoting and quoting old stuff. To make them (and, to an extent, me) happy,I have snipped all the previous information here in my reply, but, if we need to refer to it, it is still on the newsgroup.
Do you know where I might learn more about the correct procedures for timing messages? I notice that your messages do show the message trail at the top your messages...I'm not sure whether this happens by your typing in that information or whether is happens thru some automated process. I do understand that I must make the decision about what should be timed...but then what?
Anyway.... In your new profile, you have a file E:\(something)\FrogBarbara\incoming.verizon.net\Inbox Right??
Yes, under E:\SeaMonkeyProfile (sub-folder Mail) there is a sub-folder to Mail titled incoming.verizon.net.
What we want to do is collect all the other inbox's (from the other profiles) at this same level, but with different names, i.e. Inbox1, Inbox2, etc. Do a Windows search (Find Files/Folders) for Inbox, and, if the locations shown indicates the file is in any of your old profiles, change the names to Inbox1, Inbox2, etc. Then move these files to the same location as your E:\(something)\FrogBarbara\incoming.verizon.net\Inbox so that you will end up with:- E:\(something)\FrogBarbara\incoming.verizon.net\Inbox E:\(something)\FrogBarbara\incoming.verizon.net\Inbox1 E:\(something)\FrogBarbara\incoming.verizon.net\Inbox2, etc, and when you re-start SeaMonkey, using your FrogBarbara profile, you should see all these inbox's listed. You can then move e-mails from the old files into the new, and, if you now want to delete the empty/un-needed files then close SeaMonkey and delete the empty/un-needed files in your Windows "My Computer" or what-ever. Now do a similar process for your Sent files!. And for the Drafts files, if you use Drafts at all.
I now have everything I want to salvage in the E:\SeaMonkeyProfile folder.
Once you have collected all your e-mails in one location, you can, if you wish, delete all the other profiles if you wish. As for the Cache files, when you visit a website, the files that make up the website are downloaded into the cache and then displayed on your monitor. You can empty cache at any time!
I want to make sure of what I am doing at this point, so here are my questions. I conclude, based on your instructions above, that the C:\Documents and Settings\Frog\Application Data\Mozilla folder has nothing to do with 2.8---is that correct? As I noted in my last message, one SeaMonkey folder does have a sub-folder Profiles that that includes a sub-folder titled 7pq1gq46.FrogBarbara. I know that I have had problems when it do anything to any of the SeaMonkey folders under Mozilla...that is the reason for this question. Is it okay to delete all of the SeaMonkey folders under Mozilla?
Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Cache and Clear Cache.
I understand.
Thanks again for sticking with me on this subject---I would be lost without help like you have been providing to me.
