Mail date format changed in 2.53.1
Sorry if this has been pointed out in some previous message. I looked at the subjects and I found no reference. So here it goes: The locale format in message headers (in Thread pane in Mail window) has changed from previous versions after updating to 2.53.1. I'm using Linux version, with Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. It's very strange, because I don't remember Seamonkey or Mozilla suite or Netscape *ever* changing this. I've taken a look at about:config but I couldn't find where to change this back to my locale format DD/MM/YY. Now it's been changed to MM/DD/YY. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -- < Manuel Casal Lodeiro, (a) «Casdeiro» > «We approach winter the most depressing period in the history of this industrial empire, with threats of oil shortages and energy crises.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was doing yesterday (still not finished,
because I'm taking the opportunity to organize my multiple accounts in 2
profiles, personal and professional, and cleaning up accounts no longer
used). Fortunately, by now everything I'm moving is showing up
non-corrupted. The only problems are with filters that don't find the
new path sometimes and get deactivated in the newe profiles. I must go
one by one, each of them that fail, and re-assign the correct folder
where to move filtered messages.
I still haven't tried to pass address book or bookmarks, nor made all
the configurations in browser and mail. But I don't think it will be a
big problem.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I absolutely recommend the "moving to
new profile" approach if somebody gets in similar trouble.

Re: Multiple failures after disk became full (Linux)
I've done another test: I have sent a message from one of the accounts that doesn't show their folders. This is the error message I get: "Your message has been sent and saved, but there was an error while running message filters on it" I must say that I never create filters to be applied to sent messages, only to incoming messages. So, that message doesn't have any sense. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: Multiple failures after disk became full (Linux)
In 09/11/19 11:35, Don Spam's Reckless Son dixit: Reinstalling Seamonkey is not going to help - as you say - this problem only affects the profile. I looked around a bit and saw http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=40=913915 but am not sure that still works, certainly "mozbackup" is no longer to be considered reliable. I'd certainly take a backup of your profile (while Seamonkey is not running) before playing around more although it may be a bit late for that. I'll take a look to that case you refer, but... The main difference with the typical corruption cases, is that my email messages are not lost, nor they are mixed. If you read my description of the failures they are mainly failures of *visualization* (of pages, of folders, of tabs names, of messages headers), or more especifically problems of *non visualization* of items. Besides I got the randomly ocurring error messages regarding Enigmail, applying filters, failed writing in folders, etc. I'm think ablout creating a second profile, test if some of the errors are present there, and which ones, and then try to move there only the accounts that don't show their folders in the first profile. I guess that would give some clues or even a solution to use those accounts, though I will have to switche profiles each time I want to use them... That wouldn't be much of a problem. > What are you doing about increasing the size of /home? My way of emergency freeing space in /home is moving big files to an external drive.

Re: Multiple failures after disk became full (Linux)
Thank you, David, for your quick answer. In 08/11/19 21:10, David E. Ross dixit: It is possible that your "full" disc problem affected the installation of SeaMonkey or corrupted it. If this is true, then even SeaMonkey's profile was impacted. In that case, I suggest the following: 1. Uninstall SeaMonkey and delete its profile. 2. Restore the prior version of SeaMonkey and its profile from a backup. (You do backups, don't you?) I assume that you did not have this problem with the prior version. I'm not sure when the present version of SM got installed, but I think it's not a problem with *this* version, because this one was working well before the disk got full. Regarding the backup, I used to do backups but due to a problem of memory anytime I launched the backup application I had to disable it :-( So no backup in the last weeks. This is the reason I need some other approach to the problem that does not include deleting of the profile data. 3. With a cleaned up primary disc -- with plenty of space -- install SeaMonkey 2.49.5. Now I got some 25 GB free in my /home unit. Won't a forced reinstall do the same? Some extra info: Seamonkey is installed at /usr/bin/seamonkey which is another partition of the same disk, a partition which did not got full at any moment. So, how the filling of the /home partition could have affected this system partition? Strange, isn't it?

Re: Multiple failures after disk became full (Linux)
In case it gives some additional hint: today I've experienced other new expressions of this multi-failure... When I opened the Mail window some of the Folders' names of the first available account were missing (just blank spaces in their place). The same with some of the email messages in the messages-list pane (only with some; the others had its Sender, Subject, Data, etc. fields normally). I closed Seamonkey and opened it again. This time no name missing, but when clicked on the first message at the Inbox of the first account, a brand new error popped-up: "Unable to load address book file history.mab. It may be read-only, or locked by another application. Please try again later." When I clicked on "Get messages", then another error: "The messages could not be filtered to folder '[NameOFFolder]' because adding a message to it failed. Verify that the folder is displaying properly or try to repair it from the folder properties." I hope this gives some extra information about the kind of error I'm suffering. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Multiple failures after disk became full (Linux)
Hello, I'm new to this list so I will first apologize in advance in case I'm not following some rules that the list may have (though I haven't seen such in the welcome message). Now I will try to describe the strange behaviour that my Seamonkey 2.49.5 (in Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS) is showing since a couple of days. I'm a long time user of the Mozilla browser genealogy (started in 1993 with Mosaic, then Netscape, then Mozilla Suite, then Seamonkey) and I had never seen such a thing. Everything started when I almost run out of space in /home disk. Suddenly there were only a few MB left when I started to quickly move some big files to some external units, but I guess my opened Seamonkey at some point run out of space and began showing some errors when trying to save some email message in some Sent folder. Anyway, after freeing some GB in the disk, the problems strangely continued, being the main of them (and the only that is always present since the begining of this failures) that many of my mail accounts, though present at the left pane of the Mail window, now have no small black triangle at the left so I cannot access their folders, nor compact them, nor receive or send email from them. The other accounts appear to be ok, but sometimes they give various kind of errors when sending or receiving (Unable to write a copy... Unable to apply filters... Cannot connect to server...) that just disappeared when I retry a second afterwards. The curious thing is that the accounts that seem to be broken are all together - I mean my first 8 accounts are OK and then the rest are unaccesible. I thought it was a thing about the 9th account, that somehow could be broken and then made that Seamonkey could not follow "reading" the rest, so I recreated it (now it appears at the bottom, in the usual oldest first / newest last order) and copied all the mail files and folders from the original "broken" account. At first it fixed the problem and I could see them and use them at the next start, but after that, when I closed Seamonkey and started again they had lost the tiny triangle so I couldn't display their folders nor use those accounts in any way. I tried that for the first 2 non-usable accounts, and then I gave up. Another clear effect of this multiple failure is that when I click on the mail icon at the browser to open the mail client window, it takes far more than usual to open it (nearly half a minute or so, when it used to take just a few seconds). I must explain here that I have 32 accounts, some of them with dozens of folders and subfolders, some of them with thousands of email messages. But size had never caused me any trouble nor quite a big delay in opening Mail or in showing accounts and folders. I compact frequently. Weird enough, on the second day the disease spreaded to the browser, which showed quite randomly these failures: - Mouse pointer sometimes changed shape to a different kind of pointing hand icon. - Sometimes, when writing some search terms on the location bar and pressed enter to launch Duckduckgo with them, browser showed error message that the web couldn't be found; when I press the Retry button below, DuckDuckGo shows the results with no problem. - Suddenly some pages lost some of the content, mainly texts (all or just some) and I could only see some bullets, icons, backgrounds and graphs. Some texts are converted to the usual square icon that browser shows when it doesn't know how to render a charset. Other are just missing from the page, leaving no trace at all. When I click on Ctrl+ or Ctrl- then all content reappear. - Tabs lost their name (magically disappear) when I moved the cursor over them. Only sometimes. After many restarts and tries, on the second day, Mail window changed the available accounts: differently from before, now there were available: the 1st, the 6th, 9th, 11th, and some others. All previous tries showed available the first 8 accounts, and none of the rest of them. Next time I started Seamonkey it was again the first 8 accounts OK and all the rest showing no triangle. Another strange behaviour that I detected only once is that the spam-recognition engine suddenly began to send nearly all messages in one of the available accounts to the spam folder, when it usually made no errors before. Things I have tried up to now: - To remove MSF files of the non available accounts. - To disable Enigmail (some of the errors of the first day mentioned this add-on). - To repair one by one all of the available folders of the available accounts. - To compact them. - To start Seamonkey in Safe Mode. - To look for read only permissions in the non available folders (I have read it could be a cause for missing folders at Mozillazine's knowledge base). - To fscheck the unit (at boot time with touch command). I saw no error messages. - To look for strange folder paths at prefs.js (no path seems broken, either). Nevertheless, a
