No, you won't loose it. After you start seamonkey again it will recreate
its home directory. Make the settings as they were before (I mean the
server settings and the accounts) and close seamonkey. Then go deep in
the backup directory and you'll find a directory structure similar to:

~/$mozilla-bak/$profile/$unique/Mail/$pop3.my-mail.server.com/

$mozilla-bak    -   the name you used for backup
$profile        -   normally is "default"
$unique         -   a directory created by mozilla, e.g. "5r358tza.slt"
$pop3.my-mail.server.com - I think it is obvious ;)

Under $pop3.my-mail.server.com you'll find your mail as files
Inbox,Inbox.msf; Sent,Sent.msf, Trash, Trash.msf and so on.

Just copy those into the corresponding location of the new mozilla tree
and your mail will be there the next time you start seamonkey.
