Re: SM - gmail and pop3
MCBastos wrote, On 28/12/2012 03:27: Ray_Net wrote: Recently somone told us that the SM option leave messages on the server have no use, because pop messages are deleted once donwloaded. This is partially true. - My SM option is: leaves messages on the server. - My Gmail option is: Keep Gmail's copy in the inbox Actually, it's not quite that. Seamonkey implements correctly, AFAIK, the leave messages on server option of the POP3 protocol. Gmail, however, ignores what you tell it to do, and instead relies mostly on its internal setting. So, the important point is to set Gmail correctly, because its internal option will override the Seamonkey option. Gmail IS set correctly. the problem is that when donwloading messages from SM and not telling Gmail to delete the downloaded messages - But Gmail simply delete pop3 messages !!! Usually i use PopTray to look at the list of the mails present on the server. It look like GMail have TWO mailbox one is the webmail-mailbox and the second on is the pop3-mailbox. I say that because: 1. I use PopTray to lookat the pop3 list and a see a few mails. 2. Then i donwload it using SM (with the preference leaves messages on the server) 3. When all mails are in the SM-mailbox on my pc, il look at the pop3list using PopTray. 4. The list is EMPTY. (so it looks - all mails are gone) 5. Then i look at the gmail mailbox using their webmail interface - All the mails listed at point 1 are there and i can read them. This is certainly not an SM problem, but an Gmail one. I wrote this post to explain what i have found - 2 differents mailbox for a gmail account. Not quite, from what I understand it's not two different mailboxes. But Gmail keeps a record pointed to the earliest message it will make available through POP3. If I remember well, in fact, when you first activate POP3, it gives you the choice of setting the pointer to zero (that is, the POP mail client will see all messages) or to now (that is, the POP mail client will only see messages arriving from now on). When a POP client like Seamonkey sends Gmail a command to delete messages, but Gmail is set up to keep all messages regardless (the default setting, by the way), it will only *move* the pointer, so only new messages will be shown to the POP client. In fact, it *fakes* deleting the messages. My seamonkey option did not send a command to delete messages to Gmail !!! That somewhat confusing behavior is one of the reasons I prefer using IMAP with Gmail. That, and the fact that IMAP allows me to check the Spam folder easily for false positives. The truth is, differently from most other mail systems, Gmail was conceived to be used primarily from its own web UI, which uses different metaphors than other systems, with other means of access (like POP and IMAP) being sort of afterthoughts. The implementation of POP and IMAP was done with more regard to not interfering with the main UI system than to following the specs to the letter. They did in fact do a fairly good job on the specs, but the way Gmail features map to POP and IMAP may be sometimes a bit odd. In my opinion, Gmail just maps better to IMAP than to POP.

But at some time in the future updates to the engine and API may render the current version of CheckPlaces incompatible with Firefox/Seamonkey.

I then went to a Web page, selected print, and selected a non-default printer (printing to a PDF file). I then went to print a different Web page, but the previously selected non-default printer was still selected. Thus, what you suggested does not work. What I wrote previously regarding about:config is true. I disabled the setting of print_printer in my user.js file, terminated SeaMonkey, and then relaunched SeaMonkey. The previously selected non-default printer was still selected. I re-enabled the setting of print_printer in my user.js file, terminated SeaMonkey, and then relaunched SeaMonkey. My Windows default printer was selected. This proves my method works. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/ Are taxes too high in the U.S.?
