It worked OK for me.  Kind of strange, the video started up, went blank, 
then a few seconds later, it started up again and played OK.  Running 
both AdBlock Plus and NoScripts.

I used MozBackUp to copy Seamonkey 2.40 from one computer to another.
Most everything worked okay except all of the folder indexes seem to
be corrupt. For example, running a filter on the Inbox to move a
message to a folder fails with an error message stating that the
folder is corrupt (or some such). If I access a folder, click
Properties and then click Repair, it fixes the folder in question and
messages will now move from the Inbox to the repaired folder.

Since I have well over 100 hundred folders, I'd like to do them all
at once. I read a procedure for Thunderbird that said to close TB and
delete all of the index file (MSF) and then open TB and all of the
index files will be rebuilt. Will that process work for Seamonkey
2.40? It looks like all of the index files are located in my Profile
under Mail/127.00.1. Am I going in the right direction?


AFAIK when you relaunch you'll have to "open" each folder to provoke its 
rebuild. Selecting one and then using the down arrow to navigate to each 
successive one should do it, don't have to dwell long. Take about two or 
three minutes for a hundred folders.


As for 100 hundred (ten thousand) folders, that will probably take a bit 
longer... ;-)

ABCnews has never worked correctly for me on SM so I never go there any more.
Just tried the url above on IE 9 and it locked up the laptop for about 45 
seconds
and downloaded a bunch of stuff to TEMP that immediately disappeared.
Tried it on FF27 and nothing would load.

Help: Advanced Sidebar Search?

Hello,

my  English SeaMonkey 2.45a1  (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:48.0) 
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0 Build 20160308001946  (Default Classic 
Theme)  on German WIN7 64bit at  ˋHelp → Help Contents → Browsing the 
Web → Searching the Web → Sidebar Advanced Search Modeˊ tells some 
things I can't reproduce. Step 3 says "Under Sidebar Search Tab

Preferences Dialog there is no such item " Sidebar Search".


Also no such item in SM 2.0.8.

Has this moved or is Help wrong?

No, that "Window-Solution" will not solve your problem. If uninstalling 
within Addon manager doesn't work for some reason you could just 
manually delete. While SeaMonkey is not running find extension folder or 
xpi and delete it. You may have to peek at the install.rdf to identify 
the NoScript xpi. xpi are just ZIP archives.

Not by design.
It's more a case of diverse projects from side issues of speech

influencing primary and secondary goals and means.

IOW a complete stew.



Reason I ask is that I duel boot Windows 7 with Mageia Linux and
have SeaMonkey installed on both systems.

I then share the one set of Profile files, which are on my
Windows G\:, with both SeaMonkey installations.

The reason I but the profile files on a Windows partition is
because my Mageia Linux can "see" my Windows drives, but my
Windows cannot "see" my Linux mounts!!



That good to know although long term I don't intend to dual boot 
much.
I suspect I may continue with Windows for internet access due to 
inertia.

Debian will be for productive work.

InCtrl5.  I got it years ago from the PC Magazine Web site.  It was
freeware, but I think it is now purchase-ware.

It was not easy to install and run.  I finally had to set its properties
to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3.

While intended to launch installer executables, I found that I had
instead to run it in its two-phase mode -- run InCtrl5 to collect
"before" status, let it terminate, execute the installer myself, and
then relaunch InCtrl5 to collect "after" status and generate a report.
