AAAAAAARGGG stupid stupid - Version 2

2010-12-06 Thread BJD
I finally clicked on that box that always popped up, asking me to do the 
Seamonkey upgrade. I thought it would be a quick/minor upgrade procedure 
as in the past. (I had version 1.???; the upgrade was 2.??)


I should have become suspicious, when it presented me with all my 
existing profiles (with a radio button selector rather than check boxes).


Once the upgrade was done, all but one of my profiles (emails, 
newsgroups, setup info for groups  emails, etc) were gone.

There was no undo key.

I have no time to troubleshoot this. I was stupid to click on the 
upgrade box.


I guess email profiles are being phased out?

I haven't had time to research this in this group or other sources. (I 
just joined this newsgroup after the unfortunate upgrade; It's late, I 
should be snoozing now).


Anyone have any ideas on how to recover my lost profiles, emails, etc?? 
if possible.


Thanks in advance,
Brian

That's the standard behaviour. Only one profile from SeaMonkey 1.x is 
migrated to SeaMonkey 2.0.10 automatically. You need to import the other 
ones manually. Don't fret: it's easy: see

Pls confirm mail client vs server operation

2010-12-06 Thread Rickles
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; 
rv:1.9.1.15) Gecko/20101027 SeaMonkey/2.0.10


Only 1 email account, POP3 mailbox.  ADSL broadband normally tests as 
5+Kbps download, 380+bps upload.  Local exchange upgraded couple of 
weeks ago by British Telecom, but my problem pre-dates that by some weeks.


For some time now, I've been experiencing issues with outgoing mail 
(SMTP) only.  Downloads of new mail and newsgroup headers, and web pages 
works as well as it ever does (I hate contention, don't you?)  But 
randomly when sending mail, the send process can take quite a bit of 
time, even fail completely. An immediate re-send without closing the 
original composition window almost always works.  The number of 
recipients doesn't matter, nor does the size of the email (from 1 line 
of text to a 5MB Word doc).  And then there's time of day, also NOT a 
contributing factor.


Aside from disabling/uninstalling my AV software, checking NIC drivers, 
etc., I've used network sniffing tool WireShark to look at what's going 
on.  I think I've found one issue belonging to the ISP: during the send 
process, all recipient addresses are sent to the ISP, one at a time. 
The server acknowledges the receipt of one name, and then after a delay 
sends a code for SM's mail client to send the next one.  The 
delay/failure I'm seeing appears to be based on how long it takes the 
server to finish chewing on what was sent and then ask for the next bit.


I've got packet trace captures for 4 events where everything works as 
expected, and 4 traces when it took either very long or failed 
altogether.  The ISP says it must be something at my end, 'cause no one 
else is reporting it, therefor it must be my mail client.


Can anyone confirm the expected mail client/server behavior, or point me 
at an authoritative web source for the info?  My ISP's level 3 support 
is convinced it's me, and my traffic sniffing captures say it's them, 
but they don't appear interested in that.


Any help appreciated.

Paul,

I am 20 years distant from my days of writing
macros (mostly dbaseIII) and scripts.

Can you explain in a little more detail where
one would place this for proper execution in Seamonkey,
please?

BTW:  If it matters I am using SM 2.0.10 at the
moment and always in Linux (Puppy Linux to be a little
more specific).

Thanks!

Playing .wmv files in email

2010-12-06 Thread user
I'm running XP SP3 and SM 2.0.10 and I can't get .wmv (or any videos for 
that matter) to open by double clicking on the attachment.

I have to save them to view them.
How can I fix this? Should I install a third party video player or 
something?

I am sorry, I cannot help with Linux. :(
However, if you search your hdd for macromedia,
swf, adobe, flash, etc, you should be able to find
where Macromedia stores all the flash cookies.
If you ever looked at any flash vids, all your
visits sites are stored there.
In windows xp its:

I have never been able to get that to work on any of my

or it is just plain fake.
Search your hdd for directory macromedia then drill down and see.
Look for sub dirs named #something.something.
