I know that the Profile Manager in 2.0.3 indicates that I am using a default profile. Any suggestions appreciated. Frog O.K., Frog, I see Lee and Mark have again answered the questions you ask, so I am going to continue in my own direction. When you open your SM 2 Mail profile, does it show the same mail as your SM 1.x profile contained when you installed SM 2.x?? i.e. when you first installed SM 2.x, when you set up the mail portion, SM 2.x is supposed to make a copy (not import, but make a copy) of your SM 1.x profile, so the two default mail profiles should have been exactly the same at one time.

Chatzilla Bookmarks
I was just about to submit a RFE to Bugzilla, but thought I might just check here first!! Does Chatzilla have a Bookmarks equivalent, i.e. a list of the channels that I like, so I can just open Chatzilla an go to my Bookmarks and I'm in the group??

I thought it might help to get everything else out of the way, so it would be easier for people to get to my problem. Here is that problem and some of my comments. Frog wrote: Background: I decided to install SeaMonkey 2.0.3 on my system yesterday. I also intend to keep SeaMonkey 1.1.18 installed on my system. I allowed the 2.0.3 software to be installed in the default locations--I made absolutely no changes to this process. My operating system is Windows XP SP3. Problem 1: I am having a problem with the entries listed under Go when I am looking at the 2.0.3 mail window. Here is the problem: When I click Go at the top of the screen (the line just under the blue banner)I see the following: Next Previous ___ Mail Start Page ___ f...@pond.com Local Folders Microsoft Help Mozilla Help etc. All of the letters for Next and Previous are in black letters and the remainder of the entries are in gray letters. I need to know how to make the gray letters black so that I can click on them--so that they will take me to the items clicked. Any suggestions? I have used a big part of my day today reading web pages/old messages etc. in an attempt to find the answer to my problem--no joy. I now have a few questions, that reach far beyond my technical skill level. Here are those questions: -Could it be that some setting is wrong in about:config. Don't get excited about my doing any changes in this area--I know better until some technically smart person informs me what I should do. I just was wondering, if my problem might be in this area. -Why is it that I cannot find any information about the Go button that exists on the Mail page? I thought maybe I could come to a conclusion about the source of my problem--possibly a corrupt profile or an error in the 2.0.3 software download. Frog, I seem to remember, at one time, somewhere here, you mentioned that you copied your profile from an old back-up. Might this have been from a CD?? If so, the files copied from CD's may have been marked as Read-Only, which might explain why you are getting these results. Close All versions of SeaMonkey and if you have the SM quick start icon down near the Start button turn it off as well. Now open you Windows File Manager and go to the profile that you are having troubles with and right click on the inbox file and have a look at its properties to see if it is marked as Read-Only. If it is, un-check it and do likewise for the other files in the profile, then go up a level and check and un-check those files, and go up a leveluntil you reach a level where they are not marked as Read-Only Have fun. Daniel Thanks for the message--- As I said in my earlier messages, my technical knowledge is limited. Before I do something not so smart I will ask my questions. Are you referring to Windows Explorer when you say Windows File Manager? If so, all of the entries there from SeaMonkey through all of my accounts are Read Only. I attempted to change one on them--the change simply reverts back to Read Only. That is why I believe I must be in the wrong place to make the changes. The only thing I did, subsequent to installing 2.0.3, was to establish ICONS on the Desktop for both old and new versions of SeaMonkey, and I copied/pasted, from a USB connected hard drive backup made on 2/15/2010, the start-up information for 1.1.18. The original ICONs and start-up information for 1.1.18 was removed by Seamonkey 2.0.3 asit was being installed. I have done nothing, other than the two ICONs (browser and mail) for 2.0.3 since it was installed. Frog -What role does the Profile play with regard to Mail and Newsgroup Account settings? It appears that my accounts completed migration from 1.1.18 to 2.0.3. I say this because I can see (in gray letters) all of my accounts in the Go drop down window. I can also open up my default profile on 2.0.3 and find all of my accounts listed. I have used every other aspect of the new SeaMonkey 2.0.3 software, that I routinely use, and have found no other problems. I can download personal mail, can access the web, can delete mail, can compose mail, can open mail, etc. I can do everything I routinely do on 2.0.3, that I previously did on 1.1.18. The big problem, however, is my inability to access newsgroups as I did on the old system. That is why making the Go button on the mail page work is so important. That is where I would click the newsgroup I wanted to visit. Clicking an item in the drop down window would close the account previously in use and open the new account. The bottom line at this point is-- I don't know whether to remove 2.0.3 and reload the software, create a new profile or make a change in about:config (with instructions). I think that sums up where I am at this point. I sure hope

How can I have it reshow all my opened windows and their tabs? I could terminate seamonkey.exe and relaunch, but it's ugly (deletes my caches and stuff since it think it crashed).

It does not support authentication (SMTP-AUTH) but you have chosen to use authentication. Uncheck Use name and password for that server or contact the server provider Any assistance to solve this problem is appreciated. This is a known issue. In the old Seamonkey, if you chose to use authentication or encryption in your POP/SMTP connections and the server didn't support it, Seamonkey silently fell back to unencrypted/unauthenticated mode and did the connection anyway. The new Seamonkey 2 doesn't do that -- if you ask for higher security and the server doesn't provide it, it simply doesn't connect. I didn't see the discussion, but I believe that this change was introduced for one or both of the following reasons: (a) The old setup gave users a false sense of security -- they enabled the security options believing their traffic was protected, when in fact it was not. (b) The new setup makes it a little bit harder to spoof your mail servers (by a virus, for example), since the spoofer will have to provide compatible security features as well. The old way the spoofer could use a very basic server with no security and it would fool Seamonkey. So, you should go to the settings window for your SMTP connection and untick the Use name and password box for it. As an aside: I would worry about your ISP allowing non-authenticated use of the SMTP server -- that's what's known as an open relay, a thing that spammers love. If spammers begin routing crap through it, the server could be blacklisted -- and then, regular users like you wouldn't be able to send messages. There are some alternate ways to keep spammers from SMTP servers -- such as restricting the sender IP or demanding a successful POP connection before allowing the SMTP send -- but I have noticed that most ISPs that used those alternate means have switched to password authentication. I suppose that those alternate means must have shortcomings... I can imagine a couple, and there are probably more. annexcafe is an authenticated server and requires not only password but a username as well. You can go to one group only unauthenticated. that group is used to get instructions how to sign up. Since I've been on annexcafe (about 7-8 years) not one piece of spam have they ever had, not once. Perhaps the only other method that would even more secure would be a secure server. Do I understand well that annexcafe can be used to sent smtp mail, even from another mail client then SeaMonkey mail? -- [URL=http://users.kbc.skynet.be/fi001005] *Belgische Ardennen - Ardennes Belge [/URL] ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It looks as if Gecko were looping. I get this with Premier America Credit Union home page at https://www.premier.org/. You can see the effect without logging-on to an account. Actually, before I could logon, I had to select the Stop button. I did not have this problem with SeaMonkey 2.0.2. The IT department at Premier America Credit Union insists that the problem lies in Firefox 3.5 (which I have to spoof for that site). A supervisor in that department claims they support only Firefox 3.0 and IE 7, not Firefox 3.5 or IE 8. Because of this assertion, I submitted a Tech Evangelism bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549498. However, I would like to know if anyone has seen a similar problem with SeaMonkey 2.0.3 or with any other application using Gecko 1.9.1.8. I let the page reload several times. It might be the result of a JavaScript changing large images on the page. I've seen this effect before, with image files that have fewer bytes. In this case, the script might be timing-out before the image can load through my dial-up connection. Further, the script could be poorly designed in a way that causes the entire page to refresh. I'll investigate further. Let us know what you find. I found no issue at all on Mac OS X, Snow Leopard.

Might this have been from a CD?? If so, the files copied from CD's may have been marked as Read-Only, which might explain why you are getting these results. Close All versions of SeaMonkey and if you have the SM quick start icon down near the Start button turn it off as well. Now open you Windows File Manager and go to the profile that you are having troubles with and right click on the inbox file and have a look at its properties to see if it is marked as Read-Only. If it is, un-check it and do likewise for the other files in the profile, then go up a level and check and un-check those files, and go up a leveluntil you reach a level where they are not marked as Read-Only Have fun. Daniel Thanks for the message--- As I said in my earlier messages, my technical knowledge is limited. Before I do something not so smart I will ask my questions. Are you referring to Windows Explorer when you say Windows File Manager? That seems like a reasonable assumption and the one I would make. If so, all of the entries there from SeaMonkey through all of my accounts are Read Only. I attempted to change one on them--the change simply reverts back to Read Only. That is why I believe I must be in the wrong place to make the changes. If the profile is located on a CD, you can't change file attributes. If it's on an ordinary hard disk drive, you should be able to. My profile for 1.1.18 is on my C: hard drive. The new migrated (default) profile for 2.0.3 is also on my C: hard drive. I have nothing associated with either version that is on a CD. I do have a Feb. 15 complete backup of my internal hard drive (C: and E: drives)on a USB external hard drive. With SeaMonkey closed, of course... In Windows Explorer, select the profile directory (the one above .slt, where is a random assortment of numbers and letters) and right-click the folder name. One of the options should be Properties. Choose that. The dialog that appears should have checkboxes as follows: Attributes: [ ] Read-only [Advanced...] [ ] Hidden Click the Read-only check box once to clear it, or more than once if necessary, but don't double-click it. Then click the Apply button at the bottom. Windows will prompt you, asking whether to apply the change only to the folder itself, or to the folder and all its contents. Tell it to apply the change to all the contents. After a minute of thinking, it should mark each and every file and subdirectory within the profile as read-only. You don't have to go through hundreds or thousands of files one at a time by hand. This process does not work on my system. I made the changes as you suggested. After making the change, I went back to see if the Read Only was deselected. To my surprise, the Read Only was again selected. I attempted to make this change several times with the same results. I then made a visit to 1.1.18 and Read Only was also selected in this version, and the items in the drop down window under Go were black and respond to my mouse clicks.

Just FYI, my top-level SM 1.1.X profile directory also indicates Read Only when viewed in Windows/Explorer and my application is running normally. Note that when I view the properties of individual files (not directories), they don't show as read only. Perhaps checking the directories is not the correct approach? I'm running Windows/XP SP3, btw. Items on my system are the same as your system--the profile directory level indicates Read Only when viewed in Windows Explorer and the files listed under the profile are not Read Only. This fact is true for both versions of SeaMonkey. Frog Frog ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

A thorough examination of my system shows that all the /folders/ in my profile have gray (not black) checkmarks, I don't know where you are finding checkmarks. When looking a the properties for a file under x.slt, I see two entries-- Read Only and Hidden. Neither box is checked for the files under the xx.slt entry. I did notice one interesting difference between 1.1.18 and 2.0.3 entries. The entry for 1.1.18 is g62n48iz.slt and the one for 2.0.3 is x1pbu8dh.default. I had never noticed this difference before tonight. which normally indicates that some of their contents are read-only and some are not (I suppose it could also mean the attribute is not set for these folders).
