Re: Using Hotmail with SeaMonkey mail?

can't install sm 2
the past 2 alphas of seamonkey have been impossible for me to install/use. after the install completes it opens the import wizard, but it doesn't actually open. it's a button on my taskbar with seemingly no window related. so i kill it. after that, clicking the seamonkey icon does nothing. i get the hourglass for a second but that's it. system specs are the usual. xp pro, 2gb rab, butckets of free space and nvidia video. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Installing Flash on Ubuntu
Hi Guys, Just installed x-shockwave-flash V10 for .deb (Linux Debian Ubuntu 8.04) from the Adobe site but unfortunately I can't get it (flash) to work in Seamonkey. I use FF regularly and Flash works fine in that. Therefore, I'm guessing I need to install some additional .lib+ files or something to cradle the flash install in SM. If anyone would be kind enough to let me know of what additional files I need to install that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Rob in FF type in about:plugins and look for the flash files you need. Now, type in about:plugins in SM and see if they are there. If not, then find the ones for FF and copy them to the SM plugin directory located in the SM Program directory.

Re: SM 1.1.14 Message Filters

I got a message that my filter files were being rebuilt. I see today, that meant... that they had been wiped out, and I'll have to start over. To avoid this in the future, can anyone tell me *how many* is too many... so I don't do this again? There's one newsgroup that is impossible to read without an abundance of filters. :) bj well, in one I've got over 1815 filters, and about 2/3 of them contain more than one filter setting. In another account I've got 4 filters and each one contains over 100 settings, so I doubt that is your problem. That sounds like the number of files I had, before. Many within one filter/group. Something being rebuilt sounds more of the index files are being rebuilt. I haven't heard of the filters being rebuilt. What happens if you reopen the program. SM opened fine, and I just had empty filters. I don't think this had anything to do with the installation of 1.1.14. That was 2 weeks ago. I've never seen this message before, and I think it said something about not able to read msgfilter rules. Close SM and take a look at the filter files in the SM profile. You should have a file called msgFilterRules.dat for each mail/news account you have filters set up for. Take a look at the file and see how big it is. Do you have a back up? Try putting the backup filter back. My new msgFilterRules.dat has 1KB [from today's entries] and there is a rulesbackup.dat file *created when that happened, that has 15KB. Is that the same file, or is that backup for something else on that date? How would I put it back if I had a backup? Just change the name of the backup file and delete the new one? Or copy and paste the backup file into the newly created file? Actually, I'm resigned to manually recreating the filters, I just wondered if there was a known *maximum* that I should watch out for in this version of SM? :) bj ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Don't have a backup unless SM created one, when I got that message it was rebuilding. :( I'll check out the files, and come back. Thanks... :) bj I'm sorry to say, backups should be the responsibility of the user, not the program. If you have a regular backup routine, as we all should, you really should include your SeaMonkey profile folder. That would have helped you in this instance. Its a learning experience. Lee I didn't expect SM to have a backup, the message led me to believe there might have been one created in this instance, for some reason. There was a backup file created on that date, but I'm not sure that's it. LOL... I did remember yesterday, that I made a backup of my profile a couple of weeks ago, when I upgraded to 1.1.14, but now I can't find that safe place where I put it. Some people are just hopeless. :) bj ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Rob In your ./mozilla directory create a subfolder .plugins if you don't already have one. Then: $ cd /home/yourusername/.mozilla/plugins create a symbolic link to the location where you installed 10; example of mine that is installed in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin: $ ln -s /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so Restart SeaMonkey. Hint: the Ubuntu repositories are finally starting to become reliable for flash. Use Synaptic remove whatever you have installed and install adobe-flashplugin (it's version 10). Or from a terminal: $ sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin Then use the exact 'ln -s' as provided above. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
