Delete and copy not working on 2.24
I'm running 2.24 on SUSE Linux, but I've been having trouble with this for a little while now. Just after the latest update it has become a daily event. Actually it seems to be after running for just a few hours. Currently, message filters seem to be working and messages are moved to the right folder, but delete is not working, and Junk messages are being tagged, but not moved to 'Junk'. When creating a new message, the local copy is not happening and one has to cancel out to delete the pop-up and loose it. This has been happening for a few versions, but had been after running for several days. I'd restarted last night before tidying emails, and this morning it's broken again so I'm about to restart. Which while I can get a couple of web pages to reopen I have to manually reset each every time. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Seems to be 'selective amnesia' in relation to some IP addresses, but the firewall is off and I've even booted with all the start-up stuff disabled so all I'm running is seamonkey :( I just spent an afternoon cleaning a viral infection from a friend's system which had the same symptoms after the trojan was removed. Seems it silently installed a browser extension which redirects attempts to access certain anti-virus sites. Search Google for GooredFix for further information. Not having any pigging windows disks for the machine, I ended up hitting it with 'HP Recovery', and to my surprise it worked reasonably well. Only taken 2 days to put back all the windows updates and restore the programs it missed - so now can I charge the customer for two days time? A brand new machine would be cheaper these days ;) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

[...]trying to update the pctools anti virus fails, and following the link in seamonkey also fails. A quick peek at that site in my GetRight browser shows it want to load 6 JavaScripts. Got that disabled? If I went there with a Mozilla browser, I'd have to block almost everything to stand it. From the contents listing I see using GetRight, that page is also one of the most cluttered, junked-up things I've encountered lately. This is not a browser compatibility thing - at least I don't think so. The reason for going to the site was because the on-line anti-virus update was failing. THAT was when I found that seamonkey was having trouble, but the problem is not seamonkey - it's something deeper inside pigging windows. This morning I quite happily started the machine - all the startup stuff has been disabled so it's only using windows drivers/services at present. I downloaded SM1.1.15 - installed it and navigated around for a bit avoiding known problem sites. But any attempt to go to M$ or pctools sites gives a dns error. And if i try to ping those problem addresses - address not found. But the other machines here ping pctools happily and get addresses for M$. It's only THAT machine which complains. Since the important stuff IS working, I thought I'd just ignore these problems despite the fact that we can't update the anti virus, but I'm also having a problem getting email working. It will not connect to the email server. THIS flagged up one thing which may be relevant. The customer is using AOL which I have had problems with in the past, and it seems that 'talk-talk' are taking over and moving customers. So I'm wondering if something relating to THAT is now screwing up normal operation :( So much for doing someone a 'quick favour'! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I have read the instructions about transferring a profile, but now discover that I have a profile I didn't know anything about! The Profile Manager tells me that I have two profiles, namely default and test (which I once created solely for testing). Using Windows Explorer, however, I find that my main profile, the one containing all my e-mail etc., is called Charley. I cannnot recall that I created it, and - as said - the Profile Manager apparently doesn't know about it either! When I start SeaMonkey, default is apparently used, and works. I am a bit confused, and grateful for any help. The 'profile' is really only a short cut. The ACTUAL location of your emails will be identified by checking which directory your email accounts are using in 'Mail and Newsgroup account setting'. I normally change that location to the real location of my email and newsgroup history. Things like your bookmarks will still be in the 'default' profile. I tend to just copy that over the top of a new one created in the new machine. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Customer gave it 3 months but has had enough :) It's a bit hard for me to understand all the whining over Vista! I have used it since June last year and have never had a single problem with it! For protection I added only AVG as an addition to Vistas firewall and Windows Defender that was preinstalled. No problem installing SeaMonkey, just recently upgraded to 1.1.14 as easy as ever before. Could there be any difference which edition is used? I have the business edition. The first problem with vista on laptops is that you HAVE to switch of the bulk of the 'bling' ( aero interface ) to get any sensible battery life. If you switch that OFF that then why even load vista? Most business suppliers (in the UK) ship laptops COMPLETE with an XP downgrade disk so that it can be made compatible with the corporate network again. Assessment of power consumption shows that vista needs 30 to 40% more power to do the same job as an existing XP machine. A lot of power at a time when we are drying to reduce power consumption. Vista will not even install on the low power computers that are now being used as desk top machines as part of the power usage assesment. The main problem with vista however is the 'learning curve' when one has used windows 'classic' for years. Try and talk a customer through problems on the phone when you do not even know what they are looking at. This is why MANY large sites here are still on W2k, the COST of upgrading all of the support structure even to XP is an expense that simply can't be justified :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Suite over components
A few weeks back now I got so fed up with the Windows machine that I switched all the paperwork stuff to Linux. ( Mandriva 2009.0 but that is not critical ) Seamonkey works fine apart from a few quirks on hot keys which have been covered already, but increasingly I'm finding that the reasons for USING Seamonkey are being eroded. On windows things do not integrate together nicely, the Calendar and Address Book are still separated from one another and hot keying between links in messages and notes is lacking. On Linux there are still a few rough edges, but the environment seems a lot more 'interoperability friendly', unlike windows? That said, I find that I still have problems with Seamonkey talking to other things, and the same with Firefox and Thunderbird. While KDE gives me a nice 'flat playing field' when it comes to integration. ( Although KDE4 is about as user friendly as Vista! :( ) I think I can understand why the drive to split up Mozilla came about since many developers do seem to be working on Linux rather than Windows, and the same applies across many projects. The Windows requirements are somewhat different to those of Linux, but I don't think that the current developments are being 'productive' as they could be? The Seamonkey development can't address the gaps left by the original breakup, and the drift to Firefox being totally isolated seems to be increasing? So are we reaching a point where a radical overhaul of the roadmap is inevitable? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
