Glen I thought that my F-Secure Internet Security 2010 would be enough. It is if the results you're getting are good enough for you. They really have been so far! Maybe the fact that I discovered that there is a heuristic scanning option, and has started using it, that changed things. As I understand it that option does look for possibly suspicious objects in a totally different way. Keep in mind too that you may have a false positive, where your virus software is reporting what it *thinks* is a virus. Whether or not there actually is a virus there is a different story. Yes, because of the heursitic way of scanning now, maybe those viruses reported (which can´t be removed) aren´t really viruses at all. How can one check that? Perhaps you could try moving the messages from that mail folder into a temporary mail folder, and see if the virus moves with the messages. If it does, you can even go as far is moving only some messages at a time until you determine which one is causing the problem. Then just delete that message. Yes, but you see in regards to the folders where the viruses are said to be, no messages what so ever show up there when I look at those ordinary mail folders in the mail client. I can only see a lot of messages in there when I open the folders in a text editor. Should I move them from where I see them in text editor to a temporary mail folder (through the text editor)? Good luck. Sometimes, viruses can be pretty nasty. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Virus in mail folders
Interviewed by CNN on 20/2/2010 22:19, Monica told the world: I have an updated antivirus program but still got virus in 4 of my mail folders. F-secure can´t remove them it seems so I am wondering if I can just delete the mail folders where the viruses sit. Does anyone know ? Well, yes, in principle you could just delete the entire folders. But in many cases this is like curing dandruff by decapitation -- you get rid of an infected message, but you lose your good messages with it. And some folders shouldn't be deleted from within Seamonkey. Viruses in email are attachments; furthermore, they are almost always attachments in undesirable messages (spam). So you might delete just those messages. Some combinations of antivirus and e-mail software are unable to delete the infected attachment automatically; but they usually offer some alternative way of rendering it harmless. For instance, my antivirus can't delete infected email attachments, but it can *rename* then so even if you extract the attachment, it won't be seen by the system as an executable file. To be safer while doing this maintenance, you should set up your Seamonkey to view messages as Simple HTML or Plain text -- this option can be found on the View menu of the mail window. Some malicious messages could have crafty HTML coding geared to increase the chances of infection, which Simple HTML would ignore. Anyway... to sum it all up, do the following: 1. Check if your antivirus offers another option to neutralize the virus, such as renaming. 2. Set Seamonkey to display messages as Simple HTML or Plain text 3. Look for and delete the problem messages. 4. Empty your Deleted messages folder. 5.

Have to remember to compact folders! I used to get reminders/requests if I would like to compact folders, but I don´t see that any more. Does anyone know if it is a setting somewhere? Also remember if you have backed up SM with say Moz backup there could be a infected email in it. It is of no danger beling compacted but you still may get a reading from a virus scan.

Compacting the folders accomplishes this deletion. FileCompact Folders Lee Oh yes, I now remember this feature, it used to come up every so often asking me if I want to compact folders.

Monica, what do you have set at Edit-Preferences-Mail Newsgroups-Network Settings in the part labeled Disk Space? Maybe you need a smaller number! Daniel I see I haven´t set that at all. What number would be considered default? You decide yourself. But when ticked the default is displayed. Ok, thanks! I leave mine set at 1000K. If I recall correctly, the default was 300, ut I found that the nag was coming up way to often. Tis works for me, may not for you. You can also run it manually at any time via FileCompact Folders.

We know that it sometimes fails, we also know that those cases probably have no connection to the installation location, though. And we got good data on one spaceific case of failure which we could narrow down to a crash and fix in 2.0.3 - if we get consistent data on where the failure happens, we can try and get it fixed. Migrations fails if it's dawn and the weather is nice unfortuantely can't easily be narrowed down to a specific problem in our software. Unfortunately, many bug reports read somewhat like that.

Problem with image size reset...
To Whom it Concerns, Building an HTML email with a resized image, if you go in and make any modifications to the image (such as, space around the photo, or a border, et cetera) it resets to the original size. Earlier versions it did not do that. I have learned to live with the minor bug, but it would probably be convenient for all if it would hold to the manually selected proportional resize, unless the original size button is manually invoked. I think it does it also in Composer. With cordial thanks for doing such incredibly fine work on this entire software package. At the moment I am very strapped for dollars, but trust, at my earliest convenience I will be making a meaningful donation in support of your efforts.

One of the most frequently mentioned missing features in SM 2 is a forms manager. What you have is a fields manager, which works on a per-field basis. So if I have a form with 50-60 things to fill in (I do) and several sets of values for a few of these fields, you get to go to each and every field, remembering every field that changes, and select. Think an order form where you have six offices where things are sent and the recipient's name, address, phone, and billing info are SETS of values rather than unrelated alternate values for each field. -- Bill Davidsen david...@tmr.com We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked. - from Slashdot ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
