Problems/questions moving from Mozilla 1.7.12 to SeaMonkey 1.1.17
I am encountering problems and questions moving from Mozilla
1.7.12 to SeaMonkey 1.1.17 under WinXP Pro SP2.
Problems:
1. Although my preferences are set to download messages at
startup and every 10 minutes, all that happens is that I'm
alerted that mail is available on the server and I have to
manually download.
2. When searching messages, the drop down menu *ALL* SUBfolders
not just the top level folders. My folder levels can be 4
deep and my primary email account has over 80 folders. When
searching, I always want to search at the account level.
3. As I have multiple profiles I force both Mozilla and
SeaMonkey to start in Profile Manager (-p option). SeaMonkey
ignores the status of Work Offline check box. Is this a *BUG*
or have I not set up something correctly.
{related to *DESIGN FLAW* in Firefox that you can not
switch offline/online DURING a session}
Questions:
1. Can prefs.js force email preferences - specifically view as
plain text and disable JavaScript in email?
2. Is there a simple (read automatic) way to setup multiple
profiles having identical email newsgroup settings?

Particularly Windows people who seem to share logins more than Mac/Linux folks. We don't have any plans to change this, and it's not really easy to do either (patches for making it both easy and not disturb people not wanting it are welcome). You probably will need those manual commandline steps if you want to import multiple profiles from 1.x to 2.x even in final. I also think that fixing the slight bugs in the import functionality we already have is higher priority than creating a compelling and unintrusive multi-profile-import user interface. What is important though is that there is a way to do it, even if it needs some commandline interaction. Perhaps your experience with getting people to use command line is better than mine, in my experience with command line and most users: Linux don't want to Mac don't need to Windows don't understand the concept Obviously there are exceptions.

Sounds more like Tower of Hanoi to me... :) IMHO - No, it's trivial :-) hum hum You have to fiddle inside the C:\Documents and Settings\[User-Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\gt6bfqi6.slt\prefs.js when SM is not running. (take a copy of your profile before) Exchanging: all entries user_pref(mail.account.account1.xxx... with the one you want. The same thing for all entries likes: user_pref(mail.identity.id1.xxx... and: user_pref(mail.server.server1.xxx... Be aware that this file begins with: /* Do not edit this file. You must examine carefully the changes you will make to fullfill your expectation. I hope that's the only place to modify ... Well, I think it's easier than that :-) Once you find your profile, locate the following entry in the prefs.js file: user_pref(mail.accountmanager.accounts, account1,account2,account3,...); Just determine which account each account1, account2, etc. is for, and order them in this line to your liking. For example, if you search the file for account1, you'll find it's associated with a server entry (server1, server2, etc.). Then just search the file for the server entry, and you will find it is associated with a .name entry (among other information) which will help you see which account it is. Best of luck. Well, I think it is even easier than that: :-) Install the xSidebar extension and then the modified FolderPane Tools extension: http://downloads.mozdev.org/xsidebar/xsidebar-1.0.3.xpi http://downloads.mozdev.org/xsidebar/mods/folderpane_tools-0.0.5-tb.xpi After installing those extensions, open the Seamonkey sidebar, click on the Settings icon (a small wheel) and select the FoldePane Tools item. So you will have a graphical window from where you can reorder you e-mail accounts at will. That works perfectly for me up to SeaMonkey 1.1.17. Best of luck. re-ordering user_pref(mail.accountmanager.accounts, account1,account2,account3,...); is easier and faster than installing an extension for only just one use. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I thought that these buttons would enable one to navigate through the messages in the mail box but they only seem to be active when the mail is unread. Another question on the same lines ... when I have read the last unread mail item, pressing the move to the next unread message button doesn't do anything. I'm sure that in Thunderbird. It closed the mail item window leaving one in the current mail box folder..

Thanks ever so much for your clue. I'll try it, and will let you know if I succeeded. It is frustrating to have an advanced degree, speak 6 languages, and not be able to speak Windows. Mort Hi Tobias, Thanks for the new suggestion. I followed the directions in the link, and found the profile folder, and the abook. I dragged the isolated narrative old address book to that icon, and it took as its MB count went up appropriately. However, when I then turned SeaMonkey on again, and clicked on its address book, it still had only 39 addresses. I don't know where the old plus new ones are hiding now, but I sure wish that they would go to my SeaMonkey's address book icon, so that I could use them. They represent about 10 years of addresses, and I really need hem. Hi Mort, before you copy your old and wanted abook.mab into your current Profile-Folder, you have to close SeaMonkey completely, be sure you have disabled Quick-Start too before. Using the Windows-Task-Manager, you can look if there is a seamonkey.exe Process still running. If this happen, you can kill the Process using the Task-Manager. And if you won't replace your new Addressbook, you can rename the old one (or the new one) into abook-1.mab before copy the File into your SeaMonkey Profile-Folder. Tobias Hi, Thanks again. As per previous posts, I tried all the things that you and others advise. Due to the havoc wreaked by my computer tech, the old address book with hundreds of my addresses is self-standing on my hard drive, not in any profile. It will not drag into my SeaMonkey profile , (with SeaMonkey completely turned off), and when I do copy, it will not paste. So close, and yet so far. Regards, Mort P.S. For some reason known only to Bill gates, all my other send mails are fine, but my send mails to this group get sent but with an unknown name instead of mort, and are not copied into my sent folder. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
