Some email gone missing in some Local folders

Post by Zoroman »

Hi, I've been using SeaMonkey for more than 10 years. I am noob for IT and have no clue how SeaMonkey works, but I am very happy with it. However, I noticed that in my Local folders some email have gone missing and there is no logic to it, since some other, which were created earlier, are still existing. Please help, thank you!

What version of SeaMonkey?
How is the account set up, as POP, or as IMAP?

The current version of SeaMonkey is 2.53.6.
First backup the SeaMonkey profile -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup (Ignore the references in that link to a utility called MozBackup as it has not been maintained in years.)

Right click on the name of the folder that is missing messages. Click on "Repair folder". See if any of the missing messages reappear.
