> Sent.msf smaller This is an index file, it exists only so Seamonkey can find quickly where it should go in the large "no-extension" file. Sometimes these MSF files get corrupted, but it's no big deal -- you just delete them, and next time you open that message folder Seamonkey will reindex it and generate a new MSF file. It contains NO info that can't be got again from the main file. > Rename them to what? and put them where ? Basically, rename them to "whatever you wish." The point of renaming is just to avoid overwriting the existing files in the new profile. > Do I erase the current ISP's folder and rename the old ISP's folder to the > new one's name? > > I know I could TRY that, but then I might irreversibly screw the pooch ! Hmmm, I wouldn't do that either. First step: make a backup. Of everything (both old and new folders). Second step: COPY files from the old folder to the new one. If there is already a file there with the same name, rename the file being copied/moved (for instance, rename "Inbox" to "OldInbox" or similar). Third step: Open Seamonkey. There should now be extra folders in the new ISP -- named "OldInbox", in the example above. Check this new folder to see if it looks normal. Fourth step: once you are satisfied that the messages were copied correctly, delete the old folders. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
