Messages have unique ID's, the program can ask the IMAP server if a message is still current when you click on it when you are online. The .msf files contain index information referring to the position in the file where a message is stored. Never delete a mail file (without extension) without deleting the corresponding .msf file as well, this will seriously mess up things. > Also, do I change the setting before or after moving the files? When you right-click a folder and select properties, there is a tab named "synchronization" where a checkmark toggles the local storage of the mail. There is also a global setting for the server on the settings page for the mail under synchronization&storage, but this only affects folders that are newly created after you change that setting. (i.e. the setting is copied from the global setting to the folder setting at the time you first access a folder) _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
