Proofing our Release Notes
I always read the release notes whenever I update SeaMonkey, and a couple of typos have been repeated there for several versions. Could someone with access touch these up? Thanks. In the Known Issues section, first bullet: into the same location where _a_ 1.x version of SeaMonkey is installed [not an before one] In the Troubleshooting section, first bullet: ... decompresses the installer so that _its_ contents can run ...

TIA Jim Jim, select Server Settings for you email account on Edit-MailNewsgroup Account Setting screen for your email account and have a look at the Local Directory location. This is where your email account is located and your received emails are contained in the Inbox folder and your outgoing emails are in the sent folders. Rename these folders to oldinbox and oldsent or whatever you want, copy them to a flash drive and then copy them into the profile on your new PC, similar location to where they came from. Job Done. Remember if you done change the names of the inbox and sent, when you copy them onto the new computer, they will overwrite the inbox and sent folders already on the new computer. Daniel Thanks Daniel Received this via email Quote Hi! Will this remedy also work when trying to move emails from one earlier version of SM to the current one on the SAME computer? I've been using SM v1.18 because of its stability and tried once before to move emails from one hard drive to another with SM 2.xx and I was only able to move one of four email accounts. Thanks for your pending response. regards Cliff Brodie San Leandro, CA End Quote Cliff, if memory serves me right (and trust me, that's not a given) the Inbox and sent files are, basically, text files, with the emails one after another, so Cliff, I'm guessing providing you call each inbox and sent file something different, you can move them into the one profilebut, maybe someone will be along who can tell you how to do it properly, as I think it is still possible to have multiple profiles in SM. Daniel Keep in mind too that there may be other things that need to be moved from one profile to the other, like other mailboxes (other than Inbox, etc.), contacts, bookmarks, etc. I believe there are articles on the Mozillazine site that talk about migrating profiles. MozBackup will save SeaMonkey's profiles and E-mail to a thumb drive and then you can restore to your new PC. Just used it to move from a XP box to Win 7. For some reason it lost my address book, but all my old E-Mail, bookmarks, and settings moved fine. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Disappearing certificates in SeaMoneky 2.0 under Mac OS X
The 2.0.13 upgrade to SeaMonkey has apparrently destroyed my personal certificates. Both the long term (1+ year) and short term certificates no longer appear nor do their CA certificates appear under the Authorites tab. This was all working as of 2.0.12, does anyone else see this?

As I was reading your post, I was about to ask if you had a touchpad, because I'm fairly sure that's where your problem lies. Hi, The laptop is about 5 years old. Toshiba repaired it a few months ago, when some internal pieces went, causing a blank screen. The problem anteceded that repair, however. I try to be very careful when using the touchpad, to avoid inadvertently brushing against it. I have a new, smaller laptop that I use mostly when on the road. I will use that one as my home based computer for a few days, to see if it has the same typing problem or not. I may well have to go over to a mouse, as I certainly do not want to throw any more repair money into this old laptop. Thanks to all the nice guys who responded; I do appreciate all the helpful messages. Mort Hi, I tried typing with my new smaller laptop, and indeed it works flawlessly, even though it also has a touchpad. You were all correct, for which I thank you again. I'll try to get a mouse for that old laptop, while I ponder when I should replace it with a more modern unit. Thanks again.

Seamonkey Already Running
I just had a scare - could not run Seamonkey. Every time I tried, even right after a cold boot, I got a message like: Seamonkey is already running. You need to shut it down or restart your machine. But, as though SM was a ghost, I had no place to go to shut it down. I spend a bit of time rebooting, Virus scanning, and even a full XP partition restore but the result was always the same. I started to prepare for a HD reformatting by saving some current files but when I went to save my SM profile, I could not find its whole directory - it had disappeared. I restored the whole profile directory from a backup and bang - SM is alive and well. I have no idea why or how the profile got deleted. My point: if you get an SM already running message, it may be a profile problem. -- JohnW-Mpls ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

SM/FF/hotmail -- who's at fault?
I have a correspondent who uses Firefox to view Hotmail messages on a Mac, and she keeps complaining she can't see what I've written. Any ideas? I send her something like this (without the equal signs): Dear Carol, Quoted material from her last message. My reply to her quote. hyphen-hyphen-space My sig And she sees this: Dear Carol, She's not stupid, she's not blind, she's not insane, she's just not getting my messages. There's no quoted material, no reply, and no sig. I know this for a fact because I just spent half an hour sitting next to her at her machine trying to find the magic button to reveal the rest of the messages, and failed. My guess is it's a Hotmail issue, so I'm in the wrong place, but if anyone has any ideas they will be welcome. She says she doesn't have this problem with any other senders, and I know I don't have it with any other recipients. TIA -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.
