And Why if there was such a clamoring for the Restorer extension, didn't the folks at Mozilla Learn maybe this Chrome experience was bad idea. Now except for SeaMonkey and IE all Browser look a like. You open one it’s a carbon copy of 9-10 others. Folks! We want to be different, look different, think different. Change the guts to improve how SM works. Yes But leave the UI alone.

Try again or contact your network administrator. See what happens if you try to send a large attachment with a different local mail client (looks like you're on XP? so Outlook Express might work for this test). That way you'll be trying to send a large attachment thru the same SMTP server from the same source, and can see if the problem really has anything to do with SeaMonkey. I just tried this, using Outlook Express 6. It has the same problems Seamonkey does, giving this message for a 2 MB message: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'test 8 - 2 MB attachment', Account: 'EricGoDaddy', Server: 'smtpout.secureserver.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 80, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F A 1 MB attachment sent with no issues. So, it's not Seamonkey, but perhaps it's Win XP, because I can use the GoDaddy accounts on my iPad, going through the same router (but with a wifi instead of ethernet connection the Win XP desktop uses), and send 3 MB attachments. Could be that your anti-virus is configured to check mails (i reset this option). Checking things slow down the activity ... enough to trigger the long period of inactivity decision to kill the connection. Bingo! I am unable to send a 4 MB attachment with my Norton Internet Security Smart Firewall enabled, but it sends easily with NIS Smart Firewall disabled. This is true on both computers. The iPads don't use NIS, so it's not causing them any problems, and they can send large attachments. Maybe it's Norton, maybe GoDaddy has their timeout settings set too close - who knows? I'll start with the GoDaddy forum to see if others have this issue, the try adjusting NIS, then Norton support if that doesn't work, and OK, here are a couple of places to look in NIS, which believe it or not is user-configurable. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to accept all the default settings. 1) From the main panel, click Settings, choose the Network tab. 2) Choose the Message Protection section, and next to Email Antivirus Scan, click Configure. 3) Options to consider (both default to enabled): [?] Scan outgoing email messages [?] Protect against timeouts -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.
