I quite like SM2 as well. However on linux I still have a few issues.

I'm not so sure how "very quickly corrected" these are:

1. New Message notification is not working (at least for POP3 accounts).
This requires that you manually check for new messages - see:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458625

This is a showstopper.

2. Flash w/full screen crashes. See the thread "[Linux] SM 2.0a3pre -
Full screen mode  Flash Crashes SM" in the mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey
group. I'll try to file a bug later tonight or tomorrow.

3. Multiple master password prompts. See:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177175

4. Command line startup commands are no longer started by the order in
which they are entered, example: 'seamonkey -mail -browser' no longer
opens the mail window first and then the browser window. See:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457497

[Bug 457497 -  SM 2.0a1 does not follow commandline preferences]
This _is_ an issue that, while an irritant, does have implications for
commercial environments/setups that use 'seamonkey -mail -browser' to
open their SeaMonkey suite.
