Sea Monkey
 

OS XP Pro

My wife uses Sea Monkey. Her mail folders disappeared. I
took the opportunity to un-install and older version and
install the latest download, 1.1.4. It did not
automatically import her profile from prior version, no
bookmarks, no mail folders. Her history is present as is
her address book.

I have located her .slt folder and the mail subfolder does
contain her mail files. And oddly (to me), it also
contains my current Firefox bookmarks.html and
junklog.html file.

So what do I do to make her Sea Monkey swim about and eat
the proper plankton?

check to make sure the shortcut that you use to start SM is referencing
the correct profile. http://edmullen.net/Mozilla/moz_commands.html

And, you can start SM's Profile Manager to see if it is finding your
wife's profile.

As to your files being in her profile, sounds like you did some copying
of files. Perhaps you're confusing your wife's and your profiles?

Thanks Ed.

I ended up creating a new profile and copying old profile
into the new one and taking to heart , somewhere on your
website your suggestion to install Mozbackup!
