I used MozBackUp to copy Seamonkey 2.40 from one computer to another.
Most everything worked okay except all of the folder indexes seem to
be corrupt. For example, running a filter on the Inbox to move a
message to a folder fails with an error message stating that the
folder is corrupt (or some such). If I access a folder, click
Properties and then click Repair, it fixes the folder in question and
messages will now move from the Inbox to the repaired folder.
Since I have well over 100 hundred folders, I'd like to do them all
at once. I read a procedure for Thunderbird that said to close TB and
delete all of the index file (MSF) and then open TB and all of the
index files will be rebuilt. Will that process work for Seamonkey
2.40? It looks like all of the index files are located in my Profile
under Mail/127.00.1. Am I going in the right direction?
AFAIK when you relaunch you'll have to "open" each folder to provoke its
rebuild. Selecting one and then using the down arrow to navigate to each
successive one should do it, don't have to dwell long. Take about two or
three minutes for a hundred folders.
As for 100 hundred (ten thousand) folders, that will probably take a bit
longer... ;-)
