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.
