Lost all my e-mail folders and accounts ...

Hi folks, things have gotten a bit desperate around here for me and after some hunting around, I hope I might have hit upon the place that will help me out of my pickle.

Went to go send an e-mail earlier today and due to my dsl modem disconnecting (nothing to do with this situation), I saved my message and shut down the computer in a normal, safe fashion.

I restarted the computer, pulled up Netscape Mail, and lo and behold, it wanted me to register again. Needless to say I freaked. I haven't created a new profile yet, and frankly, won't. If I can't get my stuff back (a lot of what I need), I'll simply stop using Netscape in full.

I did a system restore, hoping that would fix things. It didn't. So I pulled up google and did a search and came across this. I read the forum about clearing caches and finding the files at
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt but when I did a search for that, it was no where to be found (I did the view hidden files as well) and absolutely no *.slt files to be found on the computer at all with a search.

HELP!

Tell me this can be reveresed and fixed.

You don't state which version of windows and netscape you're using... Profile locations are here:

Welcome to the Forum, Grumble!

Hi Grumble,

First, have you tried the workarounds suggested here:
Cannot Open/Delete Mail "¢â€¢ Mail Disappears

If no joy try this:
Ensure that you know your current Netscape Profile name
With Netscape open
Delete the registry.dat file, located in the Mozilla folder
Not the Mozilla folder in Program Files, but here:
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla
OR
C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla
Close Netscape
Open Profile Manager
Start | Programs | Netscape | Profile Manager
Select: Create Profile
Use the same name as the existing Profile

gruss,
If you're having the same problem as Grumble, then follow the same suggestions...
