Re: FF v3 into SeaMonkey

Been this way for a few weeks. Works fine with current SeaMonkey 2 development versions. How about usatoday.com? A rough estimate would be that 80% of the stories I link to from from news.google.com never load the page in SM but if I take the link into FFv3 they always load. In SM the window stays blank but the spinning circled arrow never stops.

SM 1.1.14 and memory usage/management
System is Win98se on a 500Mhz Pentium 3 with ~760Mb of memory. I just last week updated to from SM 1.0.7 to 1.1.14. and newsreader performance has degraded abysmally! Watching the behaviour with the system performance monitor, I notice that system memory almost invariably gets 100% allocated, even over allocated, with unused physical memory being depleted down to under 1Mb !!!. Everything slows down to a crawl. When I connect to a news server, the system goes through a slow cycle of checking each of the subscribed news groups for new messages. For newsgroups.bellsouth.net. this is done in very bursty mode. i.e. check 2-5 groups pause, with the pauses sometimes being 10-15 sec long and even longer. In the meantime the system stops reacting to any commands, such as to switch windows/processes. When I switch newsgroups cpu goes 100% busy sometimes for several minutes and the disk drive light sometimes goes wild. (By the way, I have! shut off! Java in my profile as per a report by MR Zeitz that setting Java on will kill newsreader performance.

So, the only option I can say is to reboot every now and then. -- *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.

Re: SM 1.1.4 Crash and/or Stall on d/l e-mail

The real challenge is still the crashing of SM 1.1.14 when down loading e-mails. Close the program. Go to your profile and delete the .msf file for your Inbox. Next time your start the program and access you mail, it will rebuild your Inbox. Change the defaults to your liking (deleting the .msf file will wipe out any customized settins you've made) and go from there. See if that helps. B/ Brian, Thank you for the suggestion. I have done as indicated and now I Am getting multiple duplicates of e-mails in one pass and as well, there are times when the messages will not open and SM closes down. I Am at a loss here... Thank you again, Yow. I'm sorry that suggestion made it *worse* :( . However, I've seen something similar when I've run Junk Mail Controls under Tools. But you're not seeming to be doing that.

Well soon the SMs I can use will be completely dead end anyways, since the 2.x versions won't work with WIN98. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
