Creating New eMail Accounts in 2.162
Hello all, as I was having challenges with fetching emails for yahoo, I decided to add a new email account in SM 2.162 to only find that it will only create newsgroup accounts and not email. Any ideas as to what is going on with this? I currently have eight email accounts in SM and six newsgroups. Is eight the limit? Trying this on my desktop using win 8.

How can I transfer all 4 separate email accounts address books from one PC to another. thanks for any help Cliff Cliff, one way of doing it would be to set up SM on your new computer and give it the four profiles, if you still need them (Tools-Switch Profiles-Manage Profiles-Create Profiles) and, on the second screen, where you give a name to each profile, put the profile wherever you want. Then, make use of MozBackup, downloadable from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mozbackup/, install it on both systems, use it to archive your current profiles, copy them to your new system and use MozBackup to extract the profiles to the locations you selected when installing SM on the new system.

However, four financial institutions with which I have accounts require unrestricted images, cookies, and popups. So I access my financial accounts in a separate profile. Fair enough. For stuff requiring additional security or Java, I use a separate profile, too. But it's also a different browser. Yeah, I use Firefox and some additional add-ons for stuff like that. :) I also have a guest profile for my adult son and daughter for when they visit. Again, fair enough. But I don't know anyone who would visit me without bringing his or her own machine along, so it's never been an issue. Ditto all of this for my wife's installation of SeaMonkey on her PC. In any case, it's worth noting that profiles still work, even if a graphic somewhere is old and inconsistent with the new look. It's also worth noting that you're here, which means that you're probably not the typical SeaMonkey user, as that person is probably completely unaware that this support group even exists, let alone how to access it via SeaMonkey.

A page that may load in 5 sec. in Internet Explorer can take 30+ seconds in Seamonkey. I also notice the busy indicator next to the cursor in SM Mail is spinning almost constantly. What might be causes and solutions for this slow performance? Busy Cursor is a known issue. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727414 Follow standard troubleshooting procedure to see if that helps the lag. http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.1/#troubleshooting -- openSUSE 12.3 (64-bit) KDE 4.10.0 Thunderbird Release I got nothing to say, but I'll say it anyway. openSUSE 12.3 rocks!

Re: Usenet in SM
On 3/19/2013 12:40 PM PT, Jim G. typed: Yep. And what time is devoted to things will probably be on the email side of things, as most people under 35 have probably never even heard of USENET. Once in a while, I take a look at the web boards on a place like Reddit and laugh that kids today think that that's a better way to communicate and exchange ideas online. Oh, well... Please forgive my ignorance but what's Reddit?? ;-) The new(er) Digg. It's basically a big news-gathering and -sharing playground for 20-something-year-old guys and other guys who wish that they were still 20-something. I used to use Digg until they went downhill withi its v4 and revamped the whole thing. I switched to Reddit like most Diggers. I still use newsgroups/usenet, /., IRC, text based programs, SSH2, etc. :) -- For an ant to have wings would be his (her) undoing. --Iranian /\___/\ Ant(Dude) @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | \ _ /If crediting, then use Ant nickname and AQFL URL/link.
