How many verizon accounts did you originally have? If only one then I would say that your configuration got corrupted and created a new server folder incoming.verizon-1.net, but incoming.verizon.net was your original mail. In about:config if you search on verizon you can confirm this. You will get mail.server.* and associated mail.identity.* settings. Now comes couple of IMPORTANT questions. It looks like currently your version account points to the incoming.verizon-1.net folder. Do you have SOME new mail in the account and just missing old? ### If YES: ### Then with SeaMonkey not running you can copy mail over this way: copy incoming.verizon.net\Inbox incoming.verizon-1.net\Old-Inbox copy incoming.verizon.net\Sent incoming.verizon-1.net\Old-Sent If you have archives then: copy incoming.verizon.net\Archives.sbd incoming.verizon-1.net\Old-Archives.sbd Start SeaMonkey and and you will now see new Old-* mail folders in that account. You can drag from these to the correct mail folders, i.e., messages from Old-Inbox to Inbox to restore your missing messages. When done, just delete the Old-* mail folders. ### If NO: ### Then all you have to do is correct the pointer to the one with mail. In SeaMonkey "Edit > Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings" Select the Verizon account and go to "Server Settings > Local directory:" and change the path from "...\incoming.verizon-1.net" to the original with mail "...\incoming.verizon.net" ###### IMPORTANT ########## In an abundance of caution, I would backup your profile BEFORE fooling with it. Simply making a copy of the whole profile would work. WinKey+R %APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles and copy the profile folder to your desktop would a simple and effective backup.
