The bookmarks file is no longer used. That info is now in places.sqlite. > Under the Mozilla heading, all the mail up to the crash date seems to > be there.

Do I trust When your current profile is different from the one where you found the mail, you can create the required mail account in the new profile, then close the program and using the explorer copy the folder Mail from the old profile to the new profile. This is where all your mail files are. When you then start Seamonkey again, the mail should be back. To be sure, I would install version 2.14.1 and not 2.15 or higher. There appears to be a problem in that version, as I have seen a couple of postings about suddenly losing the profile. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
