Maybe I need to consider adding a profile? Thank you - Samuel Well, the profile is where all the application settings, e-mail, etc. are stored, and there is always one there. If you add a new profile, you can see if a bad setting in your existing profile is causing problems, but I wouldn't expect your e-mail to show up there, as the e-mail will (should?) be in the original profile. I think the next step is to look in your profile directory and see if the e-mail files are there. By the way, do you use POP e-mail? Do you leave your messages on the server? The way most people use e-mail, they use POP and download the messages to their local machine. In this case, each mail folder will be a separate file under your profile directory. Are the mail folder files there? Mark, I do use POP e-mail for most of the accounts, in fact it is the only format with the account which I Am having challenges, permits. Also, do you think if a total re installation of SM 1.1.14 would be the ticket to correct this? Thank you all again.

Re: SM 2 instead of 1.x
INFO WG wrote: Sadly, another reason all efforts should have been long ago placed on SM 2. 1) You're assuming that effort on SeaMonkey 1.1.x releases takes away from efforts on SeaMonkey 2.0. 2) You really want SeaMonkey 1.1.x to not get security releases, leaving us without a stable, up-to-date SeaMonkey? This is madness. Frankly, experience like that has shown the futility of beating an older software horse when it was almost folly to get involved with it What a load of crock. When SeaMonkey 1.1.x came out, there was nothing better. especially as more modern code and people (staff) were available. Excuse me?! The SeaMonkey project consists entirely of volunteers, and those haven't changed. Many people who work on Firefox are being /paid/ to do so. No such thing with SeaMonkey. I think my efforts here in SM land were more to start pointing out the futility of engaging SM 1.x when SM 2 code was already past being on the drawing board, and that I felt and still do that SM 2 only would have been the far more prudent course. Efforts? Opinions are like assholes; everyone has one. Your ignorant complaints bring nothing to the project.

If that is the case, how is that I can send earthlink e-mail accounts using the smtpauth.earthlink.net server address while using the Comcast cable? Because (it seems) earthlink is allowing it. Let's assume you're connected via comcast. If you want to point your SMTP client (SeaMonkey) to Earthlink's SMTP server, you need to get past two things: 1. Comcast has to allow your outgoing connection. 2. Earthlink has to allow your incoming connection (from comcast's network). Some ISPs (I don't know if comcast does this) can block the standard SMTP port (25). However, if you can talk to your non-Comcast SMTP server on a different port, you can probably get around this. Number 2 can also be done. You have to work with the SMTP provider and see what they will allow (different ports, authentication, etc.). In order to use Mcleod SMTP server (and therefor your Mcleod user name and password) you will have to set SeaMonkey's SMTP server to Mcleod's SMTP server IP address, port, etc. Yes. And I have so done (many time with many variations. None of which work (yet). That's the problem. Now, what the above explanation is telling you (I think) is that comcast may not allow you to talk to Mcleod's SMTP server while connected to the Internet via comcast's network.

It, of course, as Peter Potomus has repeatedly noted, the techs only script is related to Outlook Express and IE. The techs have NO IDEA about settings for any other e-mail provider besides Comcast. Bottom line is that I cannot get a straight story out of them regarding McLeod (or any other e-mail provider).. If that's the case, can you use Outlook Express in the short term, just to get it working. Once you get it working, it should be simple to apply any settings to your SeaMonkey client and make it work as well. I only suggest this because it may be easier to get help from them if you're using their accepted client. If Mcleod wants you to talk to their SMTP server using port 25, and comcast blocks outgoing port 25, I don't know what you can do about it. Talk to Mcleod and let them know that port 25 is blocked by your (temporary) ISP, and is there any other way you can connect to their SMTP server. They may be able to give you alternate connection instructions. I will check with McLeod about another port and other settings. Based on previous contacts with McLeod, the Comcast support web page and the article I quote above, I need to turn off authentication, but still send my user name. The above article describes how

Re: User Athentication mangement in SMTP using Comcast broadband.
Just to get past all the noise, here is what I think you're trying to do. Please correct me if I'm wrong: You have your PC connected to the Internet via Comcast. You want to sent e-mail using your Earthlink's SMTP provider. If this is true, Comcast support won't be able to help you. You need to talk to Earthlink support and tell them that you are away from your normal connection source, and are forced (temporarily) to use Comcast and that you want to be able to send e-mail via Earthlink's SMTP server using your Earthlink account. If they support this, they should be able to give you connection information which you can use in SeaMonkey (or any other client for that matter). Don't get hung up on which client - just have them tell you want needs to be set and someone here can help you translate that into SeaMonkey controls (if necessary). Note that Earthlink is not going to just let any Comcast customer (that is what you are, if only temporarily) connect to their SMTP server and send e-mail. This is what spammers do. They are going to require that you have your client (SeaMonkey) set up to properly authenticate with their system first. I hope this clears things up a bit.

It, of course, as Peter Potomus has repeatedly noted, the techs only script is related to Outlook Express and IE. The techs have NO IDEA about settings for any other e-mail provider besides Comcast. here, do this. Start up OE, get the instructions from them for the OE settings. Come back here, and tell us what they said. Then someone can help you from there. OK Peter, the results are in. In Outlook Express, advanced settings: Outgoing Port 25 Outgoing mail server email.mcleodusa.net X my server requires authentication X use same settings as my incoming mail server Incoming Mail Server POP3 (nameofaccount)@mcleodusa.net password x X Log on using secure pass authentication. These settings DO NOT work and produce a 421 error. I tried this on ports 25 and 587. An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'email.mcleodusa.net', Server: 'email.mcleodusa.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 63.254.138.23 (63.254.138.23:25), connect error 10060', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 421, Error Number: 0x800CCC67 The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'email.mcleodusa.net', Server: 'email.mcleodusa.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E I tried this while on the phone with McLeodusa tech support. This is being escalated. I'll just have wait now to find out if McLeodusa and Comcast are at odds, or what. Then, as you have suggested, when OE works, you are someone can help translate the OE settings to Seamonkey. Stand bye. I'm going out on a limb here, and tell you a story. I recently found out that some people, in certain countries, can now download hotmail into SeaMonkey Mail, without using a program such as FreePops or the webmail extension. Hotmail has now become pop3 compatible. This is great news. Now, when I did what the instructions said, I had problems. It said to Use Secure Authentication and SSL setting. When I did this, nothing would work. After fiddling around, I found a combo. For Pop access, don't select the Authentication part, and select SSL. For SMTP, select the password and user name, but use TLS. Well, thats my story. Take it for what its worth. -- *IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but I cannot provide email help Emails to me may become public Notice: This posting is protected under the Free Speech Laws, which applies everywhere in the FREE world, except for some strange reason, not to the mozilla.org newsgroup servers, where your posting may get you banned.
