SeaMonkey 2.53.1 Beta 1

Has been released.

I can recommend that version, I have been using 2.53 for a long time without bigger problems. But you should keep in mind that there will be no way back for your existing User Profile after you will have used it with 2.53.1.

Additionally to the official Release Notes here you find some more information concerning changes with SeaMonkey 2.53.1

I gambled around a little, nothing helps.

I’m afraid I will nave to Create a new profile and import old contents step by step.

Or do you know a trick I should try to revive mail in my existing profile?

P.S.:

Bad thing I had to learn: I did Backups of my profile with 7z. But if I replace the profile in the rooming folder, the profile will not work. SM launches, but the complete Folder contents is dead, will not be recognized. May because I should have additionally added the Profile components from <C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles>? I don’t think so, I additionally had done an unzipped copy of my Profile, that works (except mail …), I have access to bookmarks, passwords and so on.
