SeaMonkey Upgrade and Add-On problems
I have several issues: 1. I'm having a problem with at least one add-on I added the other day. Symptoms: a) As part of the status bar I have a inch long mostly blank space that has a red ^ on the left halfway down. b) Once I open the email window, and one other window, I cannot open up the view source. SeaMonkey does know that I tried to open it. When I close all viewable SeaMonkey windows and try to exit I can't because it thinks there's a window open. 2. I don't know if this is another add-on issue or not becuase it's been around for at least two upgrades of SeaMonkey: The Back and Forward buttons do nothing in the first tab (or main window if no tabs are open). In fact it displays the URL for what ever tab I was in last. 3. There used to be an add-on manager like FF has. I couldn't find it. 4. I tried to uninstall SeaMonkey and re-install it to get rid of ALL personal settings (to solve the add-on problem - #1). I even did the re-install in a different folder. When I rebooted and re-installed, all my email settings were in effect. I couldn't find any file which SeaMonkey could be using that wasn't removed in the uninstall. The first issue is my major issue. Charlene ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

SeaMonkey does know that I tried to open it. When I close all viewable SeaMonkey windows and try to exit I can't because it thinks there's a window open. This is probably due to the failed add-on. I suggest you to get Extension Manager (requires Extension Uninstaller afaik) from this site: http://mozmonkey.com/ Install it, close Seamonkey (kill it with the taskmanager if necessary) and restart SM. After that there should be an entry in Seamonkey's Tools menu named Extension Manager which offers you to manage/uninstall Extensions. Uninstall the suspicious one(s) which you think has caused the error. 3. There used to be an add-on manager like FF has. I couldn't find it. See above, it needs to be installed. In Seamonkey 2.0 it will be available by default. 4. I tried to uninstall SeaMonkey and re-install it to get rid of ALL personal settings (to solve the add-on problem - #1). I even did the re-install in a different folder. When I rebooted and re-installed, all my email settings were in effect. I couldn't find any file which SeaMonkey could be using that wasn't removed in the uninstall. The Seamonkey program is separate from your profile (which stores all your data, inlcuding mail etc.). If you want to get rid of our settings, you need to use a new profile, not a new program installation. You can do so by deleting your old one or just by creating an additional profile for now if you want to copy some things later on (e.g. mails) To create an additional profile, start the Seamonkey ProfileManager either by Seamonkey's startmenu entry or call it directly from the Tools menu in Seamonkey named Switch Profile or similar. I think the needed steps are pretty straight forward, otherwise feel free to ask. After creating a new profile Seamonkey will ask which profile to use on each start. Select your new one an start. After you have verified that everything runs fine you maybe want to recreate your email-ccounts etc. After that you can copy your inbox and sent file etc. from the old profile to the new profile (if you wish to keep the old stuff). If you don't care about any old settings feel free to delete the old profile.

where are passwords saved?
Suddenly I wasn't able to send mail as the SMTP server wanted password and user ID (SM 1.1.16) The values I inserted had not been recognized. Therefore I copied from my backup the *.s and *.w files which are said to contain the passwords, but it didn't work. So I copied all files (without subfolders) and now it worked. Can somebody please tell me which files may contain passwords and user ID's in order to copy only the relevant files if this problems should happen again?

Quality Assurance plans for the upcoming releases leading to Thunderbird 3.0 final
So I should have probably talked about this a bit earlier - but as dates and plan changed quite a bit in the last month it's good that I did not. The QA plan for the upcoming betas and RC is for now as follow : Litmus Full Functionnal testing (FFT) for thunderbird 3.0b3 Litmus Basic Functionnal testing for 3.0b4 Litmus Migration from 2.x to 3.x for 3.0b4 Litmus FFT for RCs Litmus Migration from 2.x to 3.x for Rcs Dates for all of these testing efforts will be announced here and on qualiry.mozilla.org. As you will see if you participate to the Litmus testing[1] effort that we are now breaking down tests platforms per os and platform. This let's us better see what has been tested and where. For those of you who are interested in testing Thunderbird, litmus is a really easy tool to learn. You need an account (that's 10 minutes of your time tops), you'll need a copy of Thunderbird (which copy and versions will be announced on these newsgroups/mailing lists, they will be announced on http://quality.mozilla.org/events and on the thunderbird-testers mailing list.) and then time to spend reading how to test , and enter the results of your testing. On top of these lengthy events we will organize at least one test days - these will be announced on the thunderbird-testers[2] mailing list and probably here too.

Thanks horst You were right about the *. file but I guess you forgot to edit the prefs.js file accordingly. Importing a Password File Would you rather just bring your old profile's password file into a new profile? Too many passwords to do one by one? Fear not, you can import your old passwordfile into the new profile with just a few simple steps. 1. Locate your profile directory, just like above. 2. Again, find the [random string].s file, like in Step 2 above. Write down the filename exactly as it appears. 3. Copy that file to your new profile's directory. 4. While Mozilla is not running (including Quick Launch), open the prefs.js file in your new profile directory in any text editor. 5. Find the following string in the file using your text editor's Search function: * SignonFileName You should have found a line that looks like the following: * user_pref(signon.SignonFileName, 91453348.s); 6. Change the number in that line to match the number of the filename you wrote down from Step 2. 7. Save your changes, and exit. You're done. Now Mozilla will have all your old passwords stored again. taken from: http://burntelectrons.org/moz/moz-passwords.html regards Martin ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
SM2 expands threads, bug or feature?
Hello, since a few nightlies now, SeaMonkey 2 always expands threads with new messages when retrieving them (mails as well as news). I find that very disturbing. Is this a bug or a feature?

Removing Add-On
I downloaded the add-on mentioned recently that places an X on each tab in order to close it with one click. I find that unlike IE the X is too large and I keep closing a tab accidentally when I want to access it instead. I thought when I upgraded to SM 1.1.17 it would disappear (I've seen the discussions about reinstalling add-ons,) but it didn't. How can I remove it? Alternately since I like the idea of the function, how can I reduce the size of the X?

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232562, which was closed as Works for me. If so, I would be very concerned that (1) the bug was improperly closed, (2) development of the newer version of Thunderbird (being incorporated into SeaMonkey 2) has concentrated on new bells and whistles without fixing actual discrepancies, and (3) old bugs are being introduced into a new version of SeaMonkey. -- David E.

Re: Can Mail and Bookmaks be Synchronized on 2 PCs??
Willard wrote: Martin Feitag wrote: Willard schrieb: Martin Feitag wrote: Martin Feitag schrieb: Willard schrieb: Win2Kpro on both PCs.. How can the Mail and Bookmarks be easily synchronized on both PCs, so that each will have all of the same early and late messages when they are connected together occasionally?? Use any synchronisation software of your choice or write a simple batch-file which copies bookmarks.html and the mailbox-files from one profile to the corresponding profile directory of the other PC. For profile information have a look here: http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/ Especially that one: http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/ If there are still questions left after reading that feel free to ask. regards Martin sry the second link was meant to be: http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/#transferring I still can't find how to merge or sync the individual mail messages from one mail folder to another.. Sync programs will merge complete mail files of messages but not the individual mail messages from one mail file to another.. For example, PC1 has 5 mail messages dated 7/1 while PC2 has 5 mail messages dated 7/2; how do I sync so both PCs have 10 mail messages dated 7/1 7/2 ?? Uhoh, that will be more tricky. The copying the profile-approach assumes that both machines are not running at the same time. It assumes you copy your profile after finishing you work on one PC to another one and vice versa. Real synching is not possible that easy. I have to say usually IMAP or at least POP3 with the option leave messages on the server until deleted is being used (on at least one PC) and not all messages being fetched and deleted from the server as this causes a lot more trouble. You might consider changing that or switching to IMAP if possible. If your problem is the getting all mails on one machine just once to get started, it's probably the easiest way to send them to yourself and filter them (if it's not many) or copy the mailbox-files (inbox etc.), renaming them and throwing them into the profile folder of the other PC. That should integrate the new folder. This will cause duplicates (if existing) of course in different folders, but it's the fastest approach. You can then leave them there or move them to another folder (e.g. inbox, sent, etc.) from within Semonkey very easily. After that, perform the steps to leave messages on the server on at least one machine mentioned above or switch to IMAP... regards Martin Thanks, Martin I think that leaving messages on the server and auto download on both computers will suffice.. Willard :) Good Idea this is what i do, with the use of the free program called PopTray - who can delete mails on the server. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
