   As I recall, the msf files are, effectively, just index files for your   
   various Inbox files. You can delete them and a new file will be created   
   when you select the Inbox with-in SeaMonkey.   
      
   If you have more Inbox's than you require, completely close SeaMonkey   
   then have a look at the Properties of the Profile Folders in your File   
   Manager. As I recall, the Folders with-in the Profile MUST be   
   write-enabled .... so *NOT* be marked as *Read Only*   
      
   When you have checked this, you should be able to start SeaMonkey and   
   drag any e-mails in the other INBOX-1, INBOX-2, etc, into your Primary   
   Inbox.
