If so, this usually results in the files being marked as "Read Only" so SM, logically, is unable to write to those files. In Windows Explorer, locate your e-mail account and right click on one of the files/folders and check its Properties is not set to "Read Only". -- Daniel User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.49.1 Build identifier: 20171016030418 Go Dallas Cowgirls!!

I don't think so, unless disk space is exhausted where inbox lives. > Everything was working just fine until I was recently moved from Verizon > to AOL...could this be the cause of my problem? I have to think it could well be related. Many individual spams are getting awfully big. AOL's inbox space might not be big enough to hold messages for the specified length of time. If she's leaving messages on server for 30 days, try cutting back to 10 or 14. Check with AOL if inbox size can be increased. If none are being left on server yet AOL inbox is full, something must be wrong either with SM or AOL. I have two POP mail accounts, one set to leave on server 11 days, the other 25. The one set to 11 is using about 25MB. The one set to 25 is only using about 5MB, but I just reduced it from around 37MB by deleting all emails 3 digits large, which were running e.g. 159, 164, 241 & 316 KB. How often does she compact folders? I do it daily. If she never does, maybe doing it is overdue, especially if triple digit spams have been routinely reaching it. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

On FoxNews, I can get to an obvious link by right clicking and saving the link, then pasting it into the Location bad...but no action clicking on the link on the FoxNews page. I suspect there are "Scripts" running that have taken over and have shut down the page while they are loading. Could I be correct ? I know pretty much zip about web site construction.How does one control "Scripts" ? I sometimes get a message that a script is running stop continue drop dead.

Re: SeaMonkey Sync
Firefox now uses sync 1.5. The old sync is 1.1 and discontinued. You might be able to set up your own sync 1.1 server but the code has been gutted in the latest versions. Not sure if it still works in 2.49.1 Porting 1.5 probably will never happen or not in the near future. Tightly integrated with the Firefox browser, needs a Firefox account and complicated api (if you can even call this an api).

On my UseNet server (news.eternal-september.org), a lot of the threads are disjointed, i.e. what was a thread of, say, fifteen posts might now be showing as several disconnected threads. So, rather than marking one thread of 50 posts as read, I might have twenty threads each of two or three posts. How can I fix this?? Delete some index file and re-create it?? Whatever?? Do you have filters that DELETE messages? No, "Mark as Read" and "Ignore Thread" only. Yes, deleting the index will make SM download all the headers again, including those that might be missing. Close SM. Navigate to your Profile in the Explorer. Go to News/news.eternal-september.org Delete (or rename to .bak) the *.msf for the NG you want to fix. Regards. Thank you, Mason, for confirming what I suspected. I'll give it a go, tomorrow, if I can find a spare five minutes. I was feeling adventurous, so located my Profile, completely closed SeaMonkey, located the news.eternal-september-1.org.msf, renamed it to news.eternal-september-1.org.old.msf and re-started SeaMonkey. No change, still got lots of (large) threads now showing as lots of (small) threads. Oh, well!! Some years ago, I remember that SM/TB collected all messages with the same subject into one single thread. Maybe there's a pref for that... mail.strict_threading = false looks promising. See also mail.correct_threading and mail.thread_without_re Regards. Who's a thickhead, then?? I realised, after my last post, that what I had done was not rename the *.msf involved, but an older, non-used, *.msf file. This morning I've located the real *.msf file, renamed it by adding the ".old" to the name. Now downloading header 18,725 out of a total 293,946 headers so still got a while. If that fails to improve the situation, I'll then have a look at this latest suggestion. Thanks for sticking with me, Mason First pref change didn't fix my problem. Now changed the other two prefs. Will see after I re-boot next time! No change.
