Well... this has been long running. I can't recollect when it started but Seamonkey doesn't like it when I direct it to find Local Folders on a separate sata drive from the main C: drive....

any ideas? am I correct this used to work?

Don't know what you mean.

Need exact steps to reproduce.




my machine has a C: drive for programs, and an F: and G: drive for 
backup storage. In the past I have always directed the local folders 
to one or the other of the storage drives where all archives are kept.



for while now, whenever I reboot the machine, the local folders has 
lost contact with the path to the storage drive that is selected in 
Account Settings: /media/sean/7DCF1DCD6715DC30/local folders



Which operating system are you attempting to do this from? Mention of 
C:, F: and G: drives looks like Windows, but /media/sean/... looks 
like a Linux path. Your user-agent header also indicates that you're 
posting from Linux, although that may not be the system you're having 
problems with.



If Linux, it may be worth checking that the disk is mounted before 
starting SeaMonkey.



If you're attempting to share a single SeaMonkey profile between both 
Windows and Linux, that won't work - particularly in this case where 
there are paths which need to be specified differently on the two 
systems.



Well, not the case, sort of!! As my sig file indicates, I run 
SeaMonkey on both Win7 and MangiaLinux. Of course, both OS's have 
their related Profile files with-in their OS set-ups, but the E-mail, 
News Group and Bookmark files are stored on my Win7 E:\.






Precisely @Daniel... I know i have succeeded in this previously, even 
accessing the same e'mail archive from Seamonkey setup in a dual boot of 
WinXP & PeppermintOne



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?


sean



well this wrong archive behaviour self-resolved with a complete close of 
program and being shut down over night...
