Mozilla Mail Fixed - sort of



Hi,
I posted a message about the problems I was having sending mail from an new account associated with the SMTP server. I could not send from that account.

I decided to delve into the ~/.mozilla  directory, what a mess!

My previous ISP, iiNet, had seperate settings for POP and SMTP, which I had mixed up. Eventually, despite the fact that they were working, I changed them to their correct settings. This seems to have left me with accounts for both POP settings, but only one showing. There were 2 "Local Folders", plus multiple copies of all the standard folders. I archived the entire ~/.mozilla directory.

I though purging mozilla-mailnews/unstable would fix it, but it didn't. I then removed all the directories and recreated 2 new accounts for the 2 ISPs, I'll keep my email address with the old one, but set them up with the SMTP of my new ISP.

If anyone can suggest a means by which I might extract the various emails from the archived directories, there must be about 6 inbox, I'd be very grateful.

TIA
