Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but had to revert to the original .mozilla. Using Mozilla 1.4-7 My .mozilla is complicated by many email addresses that I maintain and some legacy folders that probably could be safely deleted. When I deleted mozilla-mail and reinstalled it there was a problem with the new mozilla recognizing my user profile. Perhaps I have to completely remove all mozilla components. So I have been suffering crashes when sending emails. I have also checked the outgoing mailbox settings. There has been some odd behaviour that I think was caused by the provider of the mail box. The netwook configuration including DNS has not been altered. Third attempt to send this ........ -- John Micxz wrote:

I will try this. Can you please say how or what to do to " make a backup of my preferences; And reinstall;"
i.e. which files and where ?
Second attempt to send this email.

In your home directory you will find a folder called ".mozilla" MOVE this folders to OLD-mozilla or somewere safe;
Then delete the package with yast and add it again (worded for me), or try the restore option (this did not work in my case).
Then after you done you may: cp OLD-mozilla/{username}/{random_code}/bookmarks.html .mozilla/{username}/{random_code}/
Be sure to change {username} and {random_code} with your paths. And you have your bookmarks back for example.
