I am encountering problems and questions moving from Mozilla 1.7.12 
to SeaMonkey 1.1.17 under WinXP Pro SP2.


Problems:
  1. Although my preferences are set to download messages at
 startup and every 10 minutes, all that happens is that I'm
 alerted that mail is available on the server and I have to
 manually download.
  2. When searching messages, the drop down menu *ALL* SUBfolders
 not just the top level folders. My folder levels can be 4
 deep and my primary email account has over 80 folders. When
 searching, I always want to search at the account level.
  3. As I have multiple profiles I force both Mozilla and
 SeaMonkey to start in Profile Manager (-p option). SeaMonkey
 ignores the status of Work Offline check box. Is this a *BUG*
 or have I not set up something correctly.
   {related to *DESIGN FLAW* in Firefox that you can not
switch offline/online DURING a session}


Questions:
  1. Can prefs.js force email preferences - specifically "view as
 plain text" and disable JavaScript in email?
  2. Is there a simple (read automatic) way to setup multiple
 profiles having identical email & newsgroup settings?





1. You have not specified whether you are using IMAP or POP e-mail 
accounts.
For POP accounts, there is an "Automatically download new 
messages" in the
"Server settings" panel for such account. For IMAP ones, as that 
checkbox
does not exist, I just set the corresponding "Inbox" folder to be 
used offline,

this way the messages are downloaded.


It's POP. I *THOUGHT* I had _all_ accounts set to "Automatically 
download new messages" ;/




2. There is a "Seach subfoldeers" checkbox in the "Search messages" 
panel.
By disabling it, you can prevent the search to go through the 
subfolders
of the current folder, but I don´t know how to search only 
top-level folders

from all accounts.



I evidently wasn't clear. I wish to sub all folders below selected 
folder. In Mozilla the dropdown menu labeled "Search for messages in:" 
lists each account. Clicking on an account displays a sub-menu 
displaying next level down. Likewise as you progress down the tree.




3. That works OK for me.


I notice that you use SeaMonkey 1.1.14. Could this be a new bug?


I don´t think so. I reverted back to 1.1.14 because of another bug
in 1.1.15 to 1.1.17 (deletion/dettachment of e-mail attachments does not 
work).




I'll search the default preferences in the SeaMonkey program 
directory. Something changed when I went from Mozilla to SeaMonkey.

I don't see why not, as that's where preferences like those are stored.


OK. I haven't dived into user.js and prefs.js since transition 
from Netscape to Mozilla. This is a refresher course ;}





  2. Is there a simple (read automatic) way to setup multiple
 profiles having identical email & newsgroup settings?


If those profiles still have to be created, you can modify the template 
profile under defaults/profile in SeaMonkey's program folder with those 
settings. New profiles will then be created with them.


And for the ones already created, I suspect I could grab desired 
info from prefs.js of source profile and put it in user.js of 
target. Yes, I recognize that could have strange consequences and 
I do at my own risk.


Thanks.
