Well... this has been long running. I can't recollect when it

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...
Glad to hear, sean, 'cause, as I read this reply, it sprung into my mind
that, some time ago (Netscape Suite, Mozilla Suite, maybe) the program
required that the Profile be Write Accessible (i.e. not Read Only)
before it would function properly, so I thought your choice of a SSD
drive might be the problem.
But all's well that ends well!! ;-)
well.... I dunno why my NVMe ssd drive would be any different read/write
wise than the two mechanical spinning disks which I keep for back up
storage? All three get mounted at boot.
The original problem was Seamonkey no remembering the path to either of
the mechanical drives. That problem remains.
Today, one of my accounts is not honoring my setting the path to archive
messages in Local Folders, and is instead archiving within it's
account... once again it's the live/outlook account.
