I just did this upgrade. It seemed to run OK and all the email and
bookmarks from my old profile appear to have been successfully imported.
But there are a couple of issues:
1. Every time I start SeaMonkey v2.03, it asks for the master password
for the software security device. This is in spite of the fact that in
preferences->privacy & security->master passwords I have checked the
selection "SeaMonkey will ask for your master password the first time it
is needed". Surprisingly, if I click "cancel" on the password dialog box
without entering the password, SeaMonkey starts normally. Although I
apparently had entered a master password at some point with SeaMonkey
v1.18, the program wasn't asking me for it. How do I make v2.03 stop
asking me for the password? This is a VERY BIG PROBLEM for me.
If having to tap the ESC key at boot is your biggest problem, you lead a dull
existance. If you use a password you need to provide it. If you think no one
could hack your computer, just turn security off.
2. I have several news server accounts. The first time I started
SeaMonkey mail and news v2.03, it seemed to be checking for new messages
in every subscribed group on every news server. Actually, I'm not 100%
sure *what* it was doing, but it took quite awhile before it would let
me actually view messages in newsgroups. Annoying.
Two things there, if you close the application with the server account open it
will update the counts, so just clicking on the server [-] box to collapse the
groups list will solve one part of it. The other is to uncheck the "check at
startup" option for that account. When you do the open of the account there will
be a delay, the check isn't done in parallel in the background.
I think that last is a carryover from TBird, I can live with it, I moved most of
my machines to 2.0pre the day RSS capability was added.
3. In general, the new version seems a bit sluggish compared to the old.
I thought it was supposed to be faster.
It's faster in some places and slower in others. You notice the slower more than
you appreciate the faster. Most of us do.
