Win XP I used to be able to move a newsgroup name to where I wanted it by just drag-and-dropping. I've added one and it's at the bottom of the list. I want to move it to near a related group, but dragging-and-dropping isn't working. What should I do? Prior to SM 2.0a? you couldn't move newsgroups around in the folder list. You might have been able to do that in Netscape 4x but that was before my time. I think that there was also an extension that allows you to do this in Thunderbird and possibly SeaMonkey. If you were using an extension to move your newsgroups around, then try reinstalling that. Phil Find the .rc file associated with that news server and rearrange the newsgroups in the file using a text editor, like VIM, to your hearts content. Remember to completely shut down SM before making your changes, and to back up the file that you intend to change before you edit it! For example: I am subscribed to a news server which I have labeled BSnews. Edit Mail Newsgroup Account settings BSnews Server settings shows me that the associated .rc file is ..xxx.z.rc . So I shut down SM and go to town. If you are so inclined you could introduce fake newsgroups in the .rc to act as visual separators in the news groups listing. Yaayyy, that worked. Thanks! and thanks for the extra tip re the separators B/ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: SM 2.0 and Firefox 3.5 RC1 is appearing
Exactly the reason that I left the original memo, that Firefox 3.5 RC1 was out in the wild. Hopefully, this means that SM 2, an obviously even better idea browser-and-then-some, is ever nearing its own introduction. As we had to see stabilization and finality to Firefox 3.5 mechanics, in order to see SM 2 draw nearer.

Paul, as I said: All that's below LOCAL FOLDERS is UNSENT MESSAGES and TRASH. I don't have any of the others that you show. There is one other account [my email account] that has everything else in it, but it is above LOCAL FOLDERS. All of my folders are in my email account. James . .

Please don't start a new thread if you can avoid it, unless you're changing the topic. From what you say, I gather you've never set up any newsgroup accounts, so naturally you don't have any. In the SeaMonkey help file, look for the topic Setting up Additional Mail and Newsgroup Accounts for an overview of the procedure. In the dialog that appears when you ask to create a new account, you can call the account whatever you like; I use Mozilla News. The server name should be news.mozilla.org on port 119 (the default). Don't enable SSL. If you want, you can go back after the dialog closes and tweak the settings just as you would for a mail account. For example, I use a different sig here than I do for my business account, because I don't want my business contact info published here. I also use a different email address here (a munged version of my real one); this doesn't affect my email accounts. Once you have the news server set up as an account, you can then subscribe to any of the newsgroups on that server. This group is mozilla.support.seamonkey. You can follow the same procedure to subscribe to groups on other news servers, but they will be treated as different accounts. If you decide later that you don't like this way of managing newsgroups, you can delete the account the same way as you would delete an unused mail account. This will eliminate your subscriptions to all groups on that server. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

SPAM
I always use my real email address and I don't get much spam at all. Most days none at all, but sometimes I will get one or two. What is really strange is that my wife was receiving about a hundred spam messages per day, until she started using Mail Washer. However, she still gets lots. I don't know what makes the difference. Most of my email is to Yahoo groups. James . . Q: What's the quickest way to get a mailbox full of spam?
