That is always difficult to determine when helping a panicing user remotely. It is not easy to destroy the mail store by accident, but on the other hand it is also not easy to explain to a not so tech-savvy user to "click here and it will all be back". Examination of the existing situation and the changes that he actually made will be required. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
