Re: E-mail install failure on Windows 7 - OK on Linux
Bob Henson wrote: As Mozilla are intent on ruining both Firefox and Thunderbird, I though I'd give Seamonkey a try. However, I hit a problem almost immediately. It installed just fine on my Linux test system, so I tried it on my main Windows 7 system. Any attempt to set up e-mail accounts failed - the system would not allow me to set the first or subsequent e-mail accounts to use a Global Inbox system - the radio button to allow it does not function (although the dropdown along side it seems to), and it will not allow me to tick include this server when getting new e-mail. It makes no difference if the account is set up to use SSL or not - neither work. Is this a known problem with Seamonkey? It seems odd is it is, as I would have thought that would have been fixed years ago as a matter of urgency. If not, and although it uses a separate profile, might it be because I have Thunderbird and Firefox on the same machine? I did not use the Thunderbird import facility on setup, should that be a factor. I've replied to myself here so that I can transfer this message plus the original to the dev group - follow up is set to mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey. Since writing, I tried several times to remove and completely reinstall 2.26 to no avail, the problem persists. I've just uninstalled (including profile, of course) it again and installed Seamonkey 2.25. There is a minor error in this in that the account wizard still fails to make a new account use the Global inbox system when ticked, but you can successfully manually change the account settings from within in the account manager. My guess is that in trying to fix the problem in the Wizard in 2.25, a new bug or a regression has screwed the system completely in 2.26? Either way, it needs fixing sharpish, chaps.

There appears to be considerable differences among Seamonkey users on whether the video can be played. It will not work for me and I have tested for Helpers both Windows Media Player and Quicktime 7.7.3. Seamonkey shows that video/mp4 points to these helpers. If I look at the page source with Seamonkey, the entry for mp4 says video controls source src= type=video/mp4 Your browser does not support playing HTML5 videos. /video This may be the problem although I thought that Seamonkey would handle HTML5 sites. But the file in question is http://wqdatalive.com/uploads/video/TREC/NOAA_RSC_A_2014_05_07_12_02_00.mp4, so no HTML5 support is needed. As a test, I switched my pref from VLC to WMP and the vid still played fine. If I click that .mp4 link, I get the video in VLC. But if I clock the http://wqdatalive.com/public/55 link and then navigate to Near Shore Bout and Latest Video, I get the original poster's problem. Furthermore, if I enable FlashBlock before starting the navigation to Latest Video, I get an indication that the video is Flash (f in a circle with the f changing to a right-pointing triangle if I move my cursor into the area). By the way, my Helper Applications show VLC media player 2.1.3 for MPEG-4 File Format (video/mp4). Hmm... I don't see much in the way of video Helper Applications, although many (not all) videos play in my Windows 7 SM 2.26. Maybe I don't recognize them. Here's what I think I have in Content Type: Windows Media Audio/Video File and Movie Clip. There's no MPEG entries, and no Video entries except Video Podcast.

When it doesn't send, I get the error message: Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to the SMTP server smtpout.secureserver.net timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator. See what happens if you try to send a large attachment with a different local mail client (looks like you're on XP? so Outlook Express might work for this test). That way you'll be trying to send a large attachment thru the same SMTP server from the same source, and can see if the problem really has anything to do with SeaMonkey. I just tried this, using Outlook Express 6. It has the same problems Seamonkey does, giving this message for a 2 MB message: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'test 8 - 2 MB attachment', Account: 'EricGoDaddy', Server: 'smtpout.secureserver.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 80, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F A 1 MB attachment sent with no issues. So, it's not Seamonkey, but perhaps it's Win XP, because I can use the GoDaddy accounts on my iPad, going through the same router (but with a wifi instead of ethernet connection the Win XP desktop uses), and send 3 MB attachments. Could be that your anti-virus is configured to check mails (i reset this option). Checking things slow down the activity ... enough to trigger the long period of inactivity decision to kill the connection. Bingo! I am unable to send a 4 MB attachment with my Norton Internet Security Smart Firewall enabled, but it sends easily with NIS Smart Firewall disabled. This is true on both computers. The iPads don't use NIS, so it's not causing them any problems, and they can send large attachments. Maybe it's Norton, maybe GoDaddy has their timeout settings set too close - who knows? I'll start with the GoDaddy forum to see if others have this issue, the try adjusting NIS, then Norton support if that doesn't work, and OK, here are a couple of places to look in NIS, which believe it or not is user-configurable. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to accept all the default settings. 1) From the main panel, click Settings, choose the Network tab. 2) Choose the Message Protection section, and next to Email Antivirus Scan, click Configure. 3) Options to consider (both default to enabled): [?] Scan outgoing email messages [?] Protect against timeouts Found those, tried them, and changing them helped a little. What really seemed to fix things was enabling Silent Mode. Now, both computers can send 4 MB attachments without problems; before, even 700-800 KB wouldn't reliably send. Basically, Silent Mode suspends notification of alerts and much of the background processing while the CPU is busy. Here's a summary of Silent Mode: http://tinyurl.com/lew2f68 That's still not a fix, so I'm going to contact Norton and GoDaddy tomorrow, but at least it seems to be a workaround. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
SM often asks for email password
We've been using SM (now ver. 2.26) for years on two desktop WinXP computers. The last couple of weeks, it's begun asking for our email password about 30% of the time, both computers. Typing in the password we've been using for many years gets the mail sent most of the time; sometimes, though, it will ask repeatedly, and we have to close the email we are trying to send and start over. Any idea why it would be doing that? (yes, I'm the guy that's also having problems with email sending timeouts, but I don't know if the problems are related) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
