Hello all,
I updated to 2.46 from 2.40 on my Laptop using Win Business Vista 2, I
Am not able to retrieve/see over 18 months of email for only one
account.
I have reverted to SM 2.40 and still not able to find the messages...
Is this lost forever?
Load about:support
Click on the "Show Folder" button for "Profile Folder"
What is the size of the "Mail" folder and what does it contain?
Regards.
M83 - the contents of the folder as are follows:
127.0.0.1
Feeds
incoming.verizon.net
incoming.verizon-1.net
Local Folders
localhost
localhost-1
localhost-2
mail.altcon.net
pop.emailsrvr.com
pop.gmail.com
*Please note the above names are folders in this folder*
127.0.0.01.msf
incoming.verizon-1.net.msf
Local Folders.msf
localhost.msf
I will presume that it is the verizon msf file as it is the verizon
account which is missing the emails...
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.
Take care,
Jonathan

Hello all, I wanted to get back with an update......
I did not re-point the mail profile because I do have two (2) verizon
mail accounts and could not tell which any of these belonged to.
Any guidelines on this? I did do a backup of all mail accounts to be safe.
Thank you all for your input and suggestions and guidance.
