SeaMonkey stores its e-mail messages in .msf files. You can do a search for

SeaMonkey stores mail in UNIX mbox format. Those are the files without
an extension. MSF files are summary files that help SeaMonkey display
header info. If you close SeaMonkey and delete the MSF files for your
email folders, they will be recreated the next time you open SeaMonkey
and all your mail will still be there.
Thanks, Chris and Michael, for clearing this up.
But where does this leave the OP? Is his e-mail gone forever?
Because the e-mail messages are stored in the inbox, and the data about
those email messages is stored in the .msf file there is no danger of
totally deleting the messages by altering the .msf file.
