Accessing my inbox.
I think I know what my problem is, but I don't know how to fix that problem. Suddenly, I am not able to access my Inbox. I believe that it finally reached the maximum size and will not open. The sent/trash/newsgroups etc. are all working normally. Is there any way of opening the Inbox, so that I can unload some messages or are they all lost? Thanks for your help.

Re: Viewing PDF Files
Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:15:10 -0700, /David E. Ross/: Sometimes, when I select a link to a PDF file, the file appears within the SeaMonkey window, appearently using the nppdf32.dll plugin. Other times, the Download Manager is launched; and the file is eventually displayed within a separate Adobe Reader window. Why does this lack of consistency occur? (...) It depends from the reported MIME type and or the Content-Disposition header, the least. If the reported MIME type is not appropriate SeaMonkey may fail to identify the response as PDF therefore allowing you only to download it. If the Content-Disposition header specifies value of 'attachment' (w/o the quotes) SeaMonkey will pop a download dialog no matter of the content type and whether there is plug-in registered to handle it inside the browser. -- Stanimir ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Is there any way of opening the Inbox, so that I can unload some messages or are they all lost? Thanks for your help. Frog Frog, what do you mean by I am not able to access my Inbox? I only see unread messages when I open my Inbox window. The same unread messages appear in both message views (All and Unread). Once I open an Unread message, I am able to read that message. If I then close the Inbox window, the message that I just opened is no where to be found--gone. I can open the Sent, Draft and Trash windows and they all behave normally. I thought it might have to do with something happening in the SeaMonkey software, thus, I removed and reloaded this software on my system. The results of this move had no effect on my Inbox problem. I have an old version of my Inbox listed under my profile (been there for some months/year/or more. I decided to rename my current Inbox to FROG_Inbox and to rename my OLD_Inbox to Inbox. The old Inbox now opens normally. Thus, I next made the assumption that the Inbox, now named FROG_Inbox had become too loaded with messages. I next made a visit to my inbox via Windows Explorer and found that it included 637,123 KBs of data. That was where I decided to ask for help. Note that there are Two files which represent your inbox: Inbox and Inbox.msf. The Inbox.msf file is an index for the Inbox file. It sounds to me like your Inbox.msf file is having a problem. One thing you can do is to try compacting the Inbox (by right-clicking on Inbox in SeaMonkey and selecting 'Compact this folder'). If that doesn't help, you can remove the Inbox.msf when SeaMonkey is not running, then restart it and allow SeaMonkey to re-create it. Good luck. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Apple QuickTime corrupts SeaMonkey--but how?
For years, I've periodically tried installing QT only to be outraged by the fact that it seizes all video audio file associations without asking. Over and over, I've banished it from my PCs. But now, in a moment of weakness (foolishness?), I've bought an iPhone, and it appears that Apple doesn't like PDF help files--it prefers tutorials in *.mov format. So I gingerly tried again to install the latest version of QuickTime Player (7.6.2). To my pleasant surprise, it actually presented an installation option for file and MIME type associations. For both, I deselected *everything* except Apple QT movies (*.mov). And, to my pleasant surprise, it does not seem to have seized any file associations on the computer. BUT when I ran SeaMonkey and went to my twotonbaker.com site and tried to play mp3 files there, I discovered that both SeaMonkey (and, for what it's worth, MSIE) were using QT as the default player for mp3 files, instead of Windows Media Player, which is what I prefer. Thinking I could undo this within SeaMonkey, I went to EditPreferences/NavigatorHelper apps, where I found audio/mpeg = .mp3 = open using default Oddly, it still showed WMP as the default. So I tried to edit that entry to set/reset default as WMP, but it reported, SM can handle this type internally. For such types, a helper app will only be invoked if the server requests external handling. I went ahead and made the choice, but this didn't change anything at twotonbaker.com: mp3s still played by QT. So I got deviously clever: I pulled out my seldom-used Notebook and uninstalled SeaMonkey, including deleting the Mozilla directory under docs settings. I then installed QuickTime, being careful not to let it seize any file associations. And I checked: WMP was still the default app for playing mp3 files. Only then did I reinstall SeaMonkey. And to my surprise and horror, the new installation insisted on opening mp3 files in QuickTime. What in the world is going on? QT can't be rewriting SeaMonkey to tell it to use QT as the mp3 player, because SeaMonkey wasn't there when I installed QT on the notebook. And SeaMonkey isn't getting the mp3=QT association from Windows because it's not there. I am completely flummoxed. -- Dick Baker (contact via http://goon.org/contact.php) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Thanks in advance, Jo Image of deformed bottom bar:http://bayimg.com/OACGBaAcM Jo, this weird deformed status/component bar at the bottom of the browser screen usually means that one (or more) of your extensions is not suitable for SM 1.1.17. To fix this, you need to install the Extension Manager 2.0 and the Extension UnInstaller API 2.1 fromhttp://www.mozmonkey.com/. Then you should be able to see the Extension Manager under Tools in SeaMonkey. Use the Extension Manager to disable or uninstall one or two extensions at a time and the re-start SeaMonkey until the Browser image looks right. Try and find an updated version of the sus extension. Hope that helps. Daniel Hi Daniel, thanks for replying. As this is a clean install of Seamonkey (and I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times since yesterday) isn't it a bit odd that it would have an extension that I haven't installed? Unfortunately I can't get your recommended file to install as I get an error message not a valid install package error for both components. Running the file from a download simply asks me to pick an application to open it with. Under Tools I have the option to click on Extension Uninstaller but doing so simply brings up a warning telling me to install the app, which I can't do. Grateful for further guidance. This extra large bit at the bottom of my screen has never been a problem before - I've used Seamonkey for several years. It's odd that it's cropped up now. The only difference is that I now have newly re-installed Vista along with SP2 ( SP1 caused the crash). Cheers, Jo Hi Jo, The new component named Extension Manager 2.0 has never worked for me. But the former one, originally named just Extension Uninstaller works perfectly together with the API component. If you want to try it tell me and I can send you that by e-mail. Cheers, Rubens Thanks Rubens, I'll let you know if I need it - I think I saw it there for download so might give it a try. Meantime I have a more perplexing issue. While last night and this morning I was able to open Seamonkey and have all my old mail and bookmarks open, now when I load Seamonkey it loads without all of these items. Opening Profile Manager still shows me the default profile where I copied everything but it's just not displaying. Looking at the users/profile directory shows the data, but Seamonkey is simply not loading it on startup. Any suggestions? Jo Jo, my normal response would be to tell you that SM didn't close down correctly and that when you started up today, you must have made up a new profile. I'd then tell you to go to your Profile Manager to see if you had an extra profile..but you've been there and you haven't, so I'm a bit stumped, but... Just to be real sure, close SeaMonkey, wait about a minute, then give the Windows three finger salute (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and if you see SM still listed as running, click on it and End Task. Close the Window, re-start SMhow are things now?? Daniel Hi Daniel, there's definitely nothing in the processes relating to Seamonkey. And when I first re-booted started SM with a cleanmachine I still got no profile. I've already un- and re-installed SM a couple of times. Now I'm thinking about ditching it altogether and using an other app. But what mail apps will accept an imported SM profile?
