Yes of course. :-)
Open Edit = Preferences, then select MailNewsgroups. There should be
an option namd Composing or similar. You can select to forward

I uninstalled and installed many times all weekend and today but was
never able to get it to prompt me for the import wizard. It always went
straight to the Profile Manager. Of course I can add all 8 profiles
there manually but that sucks. Each profile has it's own in-box and
newsgroups.

So have you tried to use
C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe -P SM2profile -migration
as suggested?

Yes, I did try that, many times. It worked once but after the first 
time, it sends me directly to the Profile Manager. It no longer gets me 
to the Import Wizard no matter what I try.

What does 'Tools|Import' bring up? That should bring up the import
wizard. If it does not show the other profiles, then the issue is that
you have them on 'F' and SM most likely doesn't know how to go and find
them.


Seamonkey should look where the profile is by looking where SM1 stored
the profile not by guessing the location to the default one.
I always have my profile on a D: drive and the migration found it, too.
(although I hve to admit I didn't start the migration wizard manually to
import several profiles like that)
regards

Martin

That fact you have your profile on the D: drive will, apparently, become 
irrelevant on SM2. According to Robert Kaiser's Uninstallation 
instructions, it states that the profile(s) in SM2, where SM2 stores 
your data, are located (for Windows XP)

Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey.

In my installation, all of the data from SM1 was copied to this new 
profile location on the C: partition. Since I wasn't prepared for this, 
my C: partition ran out of room part way through the installation. A lot 
of what should have been transferred was not. No doubt this has caused 
many of the other problems I have been having getting this going. I had 
to do a repair installation of Windows XP and re-partition my C 
partition to add about 4 GB to accommodate SM2 and all of the email 
imported from my F: partition.


If I can't get SM2 to recognize

Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey

on another partition, I doubt that I will ever use SM2. As a general 
rule, I don't like to put anything on the C: partition except the OS and 
 it doesn't look like SM2 will let me do that.


Please, anybody, correct me if I am wrong.

Order of Email Accounts

2009-08-05 Thread Gerard Francomb

Hi - Can anyone advise a newbie to this support group, but reasonably
experienced SeaMonkey user.

I have used Bigfoot as an email forwarding/webmail service for a number
of years but am currently fed up with the amount of time that their
servers have been down recently.  I also have a number of ISP based
email accounts set up in SeaMonkey.

I have just signed up for a new email forwarding/webmail service and 
have set it up in the normal way on SeaMonkey and it works fine.


This will become my main public address in future.  Accordingly I would 
like it at the top of my list of email accounts in the sidebar to the 
the main mail window.  Currently it is at the bottom of the list, just 
above Local Folders.


Does anyone know how to move it up the list?  I have tried a few things
that work in other programs but nothing has worked so far.

All help appreciated.

Open the Mail  Newsgroups Account Settings in Edit menu. Then click 
   on preferred mail account so it get highlighted. Then below the 
list of accounts you have 3 buttons, one says Set As Default. Click 
on that button and then on OK.


The highlighted account should now move to the top of the list of 
accounts, and also be in bold when you open the account settings next 
time.

Default Search Enging choices

2009-08-05 Thread Peter Anton
I would like to know if there's any way to add more search engines to 
the meager list of only 3 that Seamonkey provides: Ask Jeeves, dmoz.org 
and Google.  It has been this way for years and (unless I'm missing 
something) this seems like such an oversight not to have more choices or 
to have a function to be able to add more manually.  Is there maybe a 
plug-in that covers this?  I'd like to add Bing to the list instead of 
having to pull up the site manually each time.   - Peter A.

I think it'd work fine as long as you don't try to click anything. If

it shouldn't be any different than leaving it sitting there when you

I'll probably get told I should the experiment...

Which I did and Low and Behold - it worked !

I don't know why I had not thought of this before...

This allows me to essentially stay on a website (which isn't timed like 
banks, etc) for very long periods of time w/o logging in over and over


Neat.

Sure there is! Just visit http://mycroft.mozdev.org/
Note that you have to choose the Apple icon link provided for each 
search engine, not the A9 one.

Or you can make the choice (inline/attachment) on the fly: Message |

Either way, you get the same result. Attachments remain attachments, but 
the body appears as plain text with a forwarding header above it. For 
example, your post looks like this:

Depends on the site's cookie policy.

Sites that require login generally set a cookie that they can read 
whenever they need to verify that you've logged in. If you clear cookies 
or close your browser (which may well clear cookies if that's the way 
you've set your prefs), the site will fail to read the nonexistent 
cookie and require you to log in again. But generally just sitting there 
(online or offlien) will not clear the cookie. And if you have SeaMonkey 
set to leave cookies alone on close, you can probably close and reopen 
it with no problem.


However, some sites have policies that defeat this approach. Many 
financial sites will clear cookies after nn minutes of inactivity as a 
security measure. And one of my favorite public-records sites clears all 
cookies at 1 AM every night and requires me to re-sign their disclaimer.
