SM 2.0.3 cannot create new mail account
Hi! I wanted to create a new mail account in SM 2.0.3, but it offers only the creation of a new newsgroup account - after clicking on Add account, it never displays the initial screen asking whether I wanted a mail or newsgroup account, and goes on directly to a newsgroup account setting. I then added a mail account by editing directly prefs.js, but it does not work properly - does not read in messages, and I cannot modify some of its settings. Can there be a preference that is missing from my preferences that is responsible for this behaviour? My prefs.js originated long time ago in Mozilla 1.1.xx, and then passed through SM 1. I think it was in SM 1 when I successfully added a mail account last time. Thanks for any help.

Re: SM 2.0.3 cannot create new mail account
OK, the new account is finally working OK - it didn't work initially, because I somehow added for its server the following line: user_pref(mail.server.server10.valid, false); After removing it, everything works perfectly, mail is coming, I can change all the preferences from mail New settings But my main question remains: why am I not offered by mail New settings the choice between mail and newsgroup account???

As the SeaMonkey 1.x series no longer receives security updates, due to resource constraints, the SeaMonkey team strongly urges users of that series to upgrade. Additionally, the team continues to strongly urge people still using the old Mozilla Suite or Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to upgrade to the new SeaMonkey 2.0 version. All these older software packages suffer from a large, and steadily increasing, number of security vulnerabilities because they are no longer being maintained. Everyone on reasonably modern operating systems is urged to switch to the newest release available for free download from the open source project's website at www.seamonkey-project.org, providing the familiar suite functionality in a remodernized application with additional features and fully up to date security. For the few who can't afford that, a last 1.x release is available. SeaMonkey 1.1.19 does fix a few security issues, but not all known security vulnerabilites, some of which may even be grave. Those are only fixed in the new SeaMonkey 2.0, which will continue to be maintained for quite some time and updated for any security issues as they might arise, while the team is working on evolving the well-known suite even further in future versions.

As the SeaMonkey 1.x series no longer receives security updates, due to resource constraints, the SeaMonkey team strongly urges users of that series to upgrade. Additionally, the team continues to strongly urge people still using the old Mozilla Suite or Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to upgrade to the new SeaMonkey 2.0 version. All these older software packages suffer from a large, and steadily increasing, number of security vulnerabilities because they are no longer being maintained. Everyone on reasonably modern operating systems is urged to switch to the newest release available for free download from the open source project's website at www.seamonkey-project.org, providing the familiar suite functionality in a remodernized application with additional features and fully up to date security. For the few who can't afford that, a last 1.x release is available. SeaMonkey 1.1.19 does fix a few security issues, but not all known security vulnerabilites, some of which may even be grave. Those are only fixed in the new SeaMonkey 2.0, which will continue to be maintained for quite some time and updated for any security issues as they might arise, while the team is working on evolving the well-known suite even further in future versions.

Re: Accounts - What is the process for seeing all possible subjects that one can subscribe to?
Thank for the help Mark. It's good to hear from you again. Mark Hansen wrote: You're using terminology which I don't completely understand, so my help will be a guess at what you actually mean. I hope this is helpful... On 3/19/2010 4:44 PM, Frog wrote: I am currently subscribed to three accounts (established when I purchased my computer). I would like to subscribe to others such groups like genealogy, bird watching, traveling, etc, I don't know how to access a complete listing of all possible groups that one can subscribe to. I don't know what you mean by Accounts here. Do you mean e-mail accounts? ISP accounts? Perhaps if you could provide us the names of these accounts, it will become clearer. By accounts I am referring to sites similar to the following (the three that I currently have on my system): microsoft.public.windowsxp.general mozilla.support.seamonkey news.verizon.net I have found the Microsoft and Mozilla groups to be a great place to learn things about my computer and an even greater place find help when I don't know how to solve a problem. The news.verizon.net is, however, a mystery--Verizon is my ISP. When looking at the SeaMonkey mail window I do the following: Click GoI click news.verison.net in the drop down window that appearsa window titled Subscription opens and it appears that my computer is attempting to connect to Verizon. After a short time, a new window opens with the following comment--Connection to server news.verizon.net timed out. The subscription window does not list any news groups that I can subscribe to. I was thinking that there must be thousands, if not millions, of such sites on the Internet. I thought maybe there would be ones for genealogy--bird watching--travel, etc. As I have likely stated on this group before, I am retired and attempting to keep my mind busy learning new things. I hope this clarifies what I was referring to when I used Accounts in my first message. I used accounts simply because each of the three accounts listed above are included under EditMail Newsgroups Account settings... on the SeaMonkey mail window. I called them accounts based on this information. When I click File (on the SeaMonkey Mail page)open Subscribe--I can only see the three Accounts that are currently subscribed to on my system. Should I be able to (somehow) access the complete listing from this window? I'm using SM 1.1.16, but I don't see File - Open - Subscribe. Did you mean File - Subscribe? Yes, FileSubscribe. SM should be managing two types of accounts for you: E-Mail accounts and News Group accounts. That is correct. Included under EditMail Newsgroups Account settings is a fourth Account for my E-Mail. When I select my e-mail account (I use an IMAP server), I can subscribe to specific mail boxes within that account. See comment above. I am unable to connect to the Verizon listing of newsgroups because of a time out problem. When I select a news server account, I can subscribe to specific news groups within that server. As an example, on news.mozilla.org news server, I have subscribed to the mozilla.support.seamonkey news group (among others). I can also access sub news groups under Mozilla and Microsoft. I was looking for some method of accessing other news groups pertaining to other subjects. Is there some place on the web that will help me with this subject? This news groups seems fine :) Also, I think I will have to establish a new entry in the Mail Newsgroups Account Settings for each group I subscribe to--is that correct? Not for each news group you subscribe to. You just create a Newsgroup account for the news server (like news.mozilla.org or one provided by your ISP), then you can subscribe to individual news groups provided by that server. OK. I think I understand. Once I have a Mozilla account established on my system--I can have any number of Mozilla subscriptions under this Mozilla account. I know that the answers to my questions are located someplace on the Internet--but where? Thanks for any information sent my way on this subject.

On Panther, 2.0.0.24 was not installed, but did open and run when I downloaded it. FF 3.x will not run on Panther. Jaguar is not really an issue at this point.

Re: Accounts - What is the process for seeing all possible subjects that one can subscribe to?
Thanks again JAS for helping me. It seems that you along with Mark came to my aid only a few days ago.

If you want microsoft sites go to edit- mail and newsgroups-add new news account- put msnews.microsoft.com port 119 . You might also look here http://www.annexcafe.com/ or here http://shrunklink.com/eiay I understand about subscribing to other Mozilla newsgroups listed under the Mozilla account on my system. I also have an account on my system for Microsoft. Lets say that I wanted to establish an account for genealogy--where do I find server addresses for this subject? I made a quick review of the two web sites you referenced above. Because of the time (1 AM), I will explore both sites in more depth tomorrow--I'm about to go to sleep.
