If you don't want them saved, then I think the way to go is: 1) delete the .mozilla's dir /home/$USER/.mozilla 2) Start seamonkey in order to create a fresh home folder 3) Open seamonkey-mail. >> Edditt >> Account Setting >> Server Settings. Here you will find the directory under which the mail is saved. Something like: /home/$USER/.thunderbird/ia8thvk6.default/ (yes, mine is .thunderbird for obvious reasons ;-))
4) In "/old-home/" you'll find a similar directory, where your mails are stored. Stop seamonkey, copy "old-folder/contents" into the freshh folder and start seamonkey again. The commands should be something like: rm -r /new-home/$USER/.mozilla/ start seamonkey, take that "funky" name from the account settings, close seamonky cp -a /old-home/$USER/.mozilla/XXXXXXXXXX/* /new-home/$USER/.mozilla/YYYYYYYYYY/ HTH -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
