Address Book \ Tools \ Export working incorrectly in the past couple of SM releases
Greetings, I have noticed sudden incorrect behavior being done by SM in the last couple of release versions. Impacted function is Address Book \ Tools \ Export and then csv for the file type. The first file created contains just the csv header row defining column names. The UI loops back to the file save as dialog box once you specify the fileaname... and the second time you end up with the exported records. However the UI loops yet again... at that point I get aggravated and cancel out of the vicious loop. This is with the x64 official Linux version from Mozilla. Does anyone recognize this being written up in Bugzilla already, or should I open a new ticket for the regression?

Re: Address book handling: Collected Addresses
Original Message I happen to be running Seamonkey 2.53.2, but I'm realizing that I've been seeing this for some time -- certainly in various releases of 2.49, and possibly further back than that.

As far as I can tell, I'm only seeing this on the Collected Addresses folder, although I don't frequently delete addresses from other folders.

gContactSync 2.1.13 breaks SeaMonkey 2.49.5 address book manager
In case it catches anyone else out, I've just found that version 2.1.13 of the gContactSync extension breaks the Address Book component in SeaMonkey 2.49.5 (may also affect previous SeaMonkey versions - I've only tried with 2.49.5). With gContactSync 2.1.13 installed, the Address Book component (Window > Address Book, Ctrl+5, or icon on the status bar) doesn't show any address books. However, when composing an email, existing address books are still shown in "Select Addresses" and are picked up by address autocompletion. Reverting to gContactSync 2.0.13 restored the address books in Address Book manager as well. -- Mark. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Seamonkey address book export -> Android import
Has anyone tried to export a Seamonkey address book as a vCard file, then import that file into an Android phone? I tried it and got nowhere until I figured out that the property names in the vCard file had to be up-cased. I used a script to change Seamonkey's "tel;home:..." into "TEL;HOME:...", for example. Then it worked. I'm curious if the import worked for anyone without changing text case.

It will load the certificate on your PC. Remember that you have to obtain a certificate for each email account you want to secure! You then go to the account of this email address in Edit > Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings Click on Security, and a small window will open. Now you can select the certificate with 'Digital Signing' and 'Encryption'. You can choose the setting 'Digitally sign messages (by default)', but I noticed that there are email programs that can't handle signed messages properly, and will garble attachments. Now compose a small message to the other party you want to exchange encrypted messages with. Before you send it, choose "Digitally Sign This Message' from the Security tab in your compose window. The other party has to follow the same steps. Once you have exchanged these first two signed messages, you can send another message, but choose 'Encrypt This Message'. The message will now be send encrypted, and can not be read anywhere except on the end-points. So if your provider has a web interface for your mail account, these messages will not turn up as readable there. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

(That's a definite possibility!!) Conceptually it's pretty simple. It starts with public key cryptography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography where you generate your "key pair" - a public key that you give out; others use that key to encrypt messages to you - a private key that you keep secret and use for decrypting messages So far, so good, but how do you get someone's public key? Best is to exchange keys in person, but doing that can be anywhere from trivial to impossible, so somebody came up with the idea of a key signing party to build a 'web of trust'. eg https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-project/2018-September/001994.html So we're cool now - right? You've got a public key for encrypting mail to someone & a private key for decrypting received mail. But who wants to deal with creating/saving email attachments and doing command line crap like gpg -e -a -r NAME < FILE gpg -d FILE for every single msg? ick. triple ick. Way too much manual labor, so we're off to http://www.secure-my-email.com/intro_to_openpgp.php to learn how to do encryption in the email client. yay! But.. Oh Noes!! https://efail.de/ So you go looking & find stuff like https://ssd.eff.org/en/blog/how-turn-pgp-back-safely-possible and decide that it's safe to go back to automatically handling encrypted mail. Which gets us back to > It would be a nice feature if you could have an option "always send > encrypted" with every address book entry. to help prevent those Oh Noes!! moments when you send something without encryption.

Now suppose I want to send this recipient an email message. Then mail could look in the stored certificates for his certificate. When found, mail could automatically send the message encrypted. That is an even cleaner way of setting it up. No need to add an entry to the address book, everything is done automatically. With this scheme, what happens when the public key / certificate you hold for the recipient expires, or is somehow deleted for any reason? From that point on, you no longer hold a key for that recipient, so future emails would be sent UNencrypted without any warning. It probably would be better to set a flag in the address book indicating that all messages to that recipient should be encrypted, and get an error or warning if that's not possible for any reason. I'm not entirely sure if that would be 100% reliable either, for example if you enter the email address directly rather than selecting the address book entry, or if you end up with two entries for that recipient (e.g. one you've set up and one in "Collected Addresses") but only one is flagged for encryption. For a HTML/text preference, it's not so critical if the occasional message if sent with the wrong setting, but for encryption you'd want to be sure it's always used. While it's useful to discuss ideas on this list, the best place to submit feature requests is on SeaMonkey's bug tracker at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/> (please search for similar existing requests before submitting a new one). At the moment, the SeaMonkey developers are struggling just to keep up with changes being made by Mozilla to the Firefox code SeaMonkey is based on, so I wouldn't expect requests for new features to be implemented very quickly, but putting it on the bug tracker means it's less likely to be completely forgotten. -- Mark. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Duplicate Address Book Entries
Frosted Flake wrote:
I currently have only two address books in Seamonkey: "Collected
Addresses" and "Personal Address Book"
Each of those have many duplicated entries for people.
Under "Personal Address Book" I have created a number of Mailing Lists
that I want to use to organize my contacts.
That raises a few questions
1) When an entry is dragged to a mailing list under the "Personal
Address Book", where does it get taken from? Wherever it comes from,
that real email address has to remain there in order to remain in the
mailing list.
From what I've noticed, the entry needs to be in the same address book
as the mailing list ("Personal Address Book" in your case). If you drag
an entry from another address book into a mailing list under "Personal
Address Book", it seems the entry gets copied into "Personal Address
Book" and added to the list.
2) Can that email address be used in multiple mailing lists?
Yes, if all the mailing lists are in the same address book. If you need
the same address to be in mailing lists in two different address books,
the entry will be copied into each address book and need to be kept
updated separately (e.g. when the address changes).
3) In either "Collected Addresses" or "Personal Address Book", there are
many duplicated entries. What is the simplest way to remove duplicates
before filling the contacts into the mailing lists?
I'm not sure of any particularly easy way. If the duplicates have
exactly the same email address, you can sort the list by email address
and look down the list for the duplicates which will be next to each
other. Or if the email addresses are different but the names are filled
in, you can sort by name; you can select whether first or last name
comes first at View > Show Name As >.
Depending what your spreadsheet or scripting skills are like, another
option may be to export the address book to file (Tools > Export...),
process it with the aid of a spreadsheet or script, and import back into
the address book.
4) Which of the two "Collected Addresses" or "Personal Address Book")
should be the source for the mailing lists under "Personal Address Book"?
By my experience, it will be "Personal Address Book". As described
above, if you try putting an entry from "Collected Addresses" into a
mailing list under "Personal Address Book", the entry seems to be copied
to "Personal Address Book".
5) If it is the "Personal Address Book", can I safely empty all the
email address in "Collected Addresses" after moving the ones of interest
into the "Personal Address Book"?
As far as I can tell.
Questions above are in no particular order or priority.
My thought is to move all appropriate email address from "Collected
Addresses" to "Personal Address Book". Then eliminate all duplicates
from that list. Finally, populate the individual mailing lists from the
"Personal Address Book". Hopefully keeping only one copy of the actual
contact entry in the "Personal Address Book".
Does this even make any sense? :)
Sounds like a good plan to me. It may be a good idea to backup the
address book files first, in case you make any mistakes. They're in your
profile folder (see
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_SeaMonkey> for how to find
that) in files ending ".mab". is the default "Personal
Address Book" and is the default "Collected Addresses".
People you email who aren't already in your address book get
automatically added to "Collected Addresses", so you may want to
occasionally go through that list and move ones you want to keep into an
address book and delete those you don't need. If you don't want them
added to "Collected Addresses", you can disable that feature at Edit >
Preferences > Nail & Newsgroups > Addressing, untick "Add email
addresses to my...". Having addresses you've previously contacted in
"Collected Addresses" can be handy, as it means autocomplete finds them
when you start typing an address you've emailed before even if you
haven't specifically added it.

Frosted, as I understand it, if you compose an e-mail to someone already in your Personal Addressbook, when the e-mail is sent, nothing happens to your addressbook, but, if you compose an e-mail to someone who is not in your addressbook, that "new" address will be stored in your "Collected" addressbook.

This may be an illusion. If SeaMonkey fails to update the display to
reflect the deletion, you may get the false impression that it hasn't
performed the deletion. I've seen this a lot.
Close the address book and reopen with CTRL-5. Search for the entry in
question, and if the search fails, the deletion is complete.
At the top of the address book page, you should see a toolbar:
New Contact, New List, Properties, Compose, IM, Delete.
If you've hidden it, you may have to reveal it: View | Show/Hide |
Address Book Toolbar.
You can also right-click an entry in the list, and the fourth option
will be "Delete." After you approve ("are you sure?"), the entry should
vanish. But as I said, sometimes SM fails to update the display. If you
navigate to a different address book (click it in the left column) and
then back, you should see the updated list.
