Communicator never used ".slt" folders, so I assume that profile was
created in Netscape 6. The file format is actually the same as what is
used in SeaMonkey today, so importing them is the same method as
described at
<http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/#transferring_mail>. Instead of
creating a new account, create the folders in the Local Folders
account, then close SeaMonkey and switch the new files with the old
ones.
I am a bit lost here. I have two folders of the form xxxxxx.slt. Within
those there are various things including a folder called Mail and a
folder called ImapMail. So these xxxxxx.slt are profiles I expect, so I
renamed them to xxxxxx.profile1 etc. Then edited profiles.ini so they
would be recognised. Then I started seamonkey with profile manager. I
see the various accounts, but cannot see any mail within them.
I get the impression you read the section of that page on transferring
entire profiles, not the section on transferring mail. :)
If the account you're trying to recover was a POP account, the files
will be stored in the \Mail\ folder.
Then there is a folder for each POP account, named after the server.
Within that account folder is a file for each mail folder (Inbox, Sent,
etc.) The files without extension contain the messages (Inbox, not
Inbox.msf).
1. In your current SeaMonkey profile, create a folder within the Local
Folders account called "TEMP".
2. Close SeaMonkey, and open the profile folder of your current
SeaMonkey profile. Navigate to \Mail\Local Folders\ directory.
3. Delete the files "TEMP" and "TEMP.msf".
4. Copy over the "Inbox" file from your old profile to the folder in the
previous step.
5. Rename the file to "TEMP".
6. Open SeaMonkey.
