I have nearly 1.0GB of data on my ISP's mail server (including Inbox/Sent etc

would like to download all that data onto my computer including all the old

can provide. Thank you.

You need to clarify what you mean by "mail server".
If it's a P0P3 server, you'd normally set up SeaMonkey to download the mail each day and (by default) delete it from the POP3 server at the same time. This way, your email will only exist on your local machine and you will need to have good local backup.

Many people use "web based email" which is really just an HTML web page showing you the messages (inbox / sent) on your ISPs big central server (some support IMAP), and your ISP would be "responsible" for backup.

The help file inside SeaMonkey has good information on setting up email accounts.
