Precisely @Daniel... I know i have succeeded in this previously, even

I bit the bullet and moved my local folders to my main ssd drive
drive. Now, Seamonkey refuses to honor the directive to file archived
mail in a separately specified local folders. Instead SM keeps
recreating an archives within the specific email account. In this case
an sean@x&@live.com pop3 setup.
Is there a file or folder I need to delete to force the settings I
have chosen?
How are you issuing the "directive to file archived mail in a separately
specified local folder"? The usual way is, for each mail account, go to
Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings | <account name> | Copies and Folders
and specify it under
[x] Keep messages archived in:
(o) "Archives" Folder on [Local Folders]
(•) Other Folder: [Choose Folder...]
Are these settings correct on your machine? Or is SM getting confused
because Windows and Linux specify folders differently?
Yes... long time Seamonkey user and this is precisely how & where I have
always specified a separate drive for my Seamonkey installation to find
and utilize Local Folders. I have never wanted the local folders archive
to remain on the main drive.
Am just baffled why this is broken in Linux... I use Peppermint 9 which
is derivative of Ubuntu/Lubuntu
