Using SeaMonkey 1.18, Win XPH SP3. Having lots of weird email problems,
which I never used to have, and can't figure out. I have two primary
accounts, one for personal mail, one for business mail. (Preliminarily,
I know that support for SM 1.x is done, and I do plan to switch to 2.x,
but I need to figure this out first.)
I am having the following problems:
Personal account:
junk mail doesn't go to junk folder -- goes to trash (although junk
filter is set to send it to junk folder)
junk mail is automatically marked as read
the junk filter is obviously not updating with the new junk messages as
junk messages from the same source, or similar messages from different
sources (messages with garbled "from" addresses pitching various drugs
and other medical stuff) keep showing up in the inbox
David, I've only got SM 2.0 installed on this puter, but I think the
settings are largely the same so see if the settings for your mail
account for the Junk Filter are set in two places:-
1:- Under Edit->Preferences->Mail & Newsgroup->Junk & Suspect Mail, and,
2:- Under Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, select Junk Mail
settings under your Mail account.
Make sure these settings are not contradicting each other.
Business account:
puts junk mail in junk folder but still marks as read
is supposedly set to automatically download messages but does not (at
least not reliably)
posts I make to newsgroups that I subscribe to under that account don't
show anymore. I only know they posted when someone replies to them, then
I can see from the reply that my post is what they are replying to. (I
can't even find a setting that would seem to affect that). Re-doing the
msf file does not help.
Same as above but for your Business mail account.
I tried SM 2.0 when it came out, it didn't import any of my settings,
email, bookmarks, etc., I didn't have time to try to figure that out so
I uninstalled it and reinstalled 1.18. This was 4 months ago, things
have been messed up at least since then.
I suspect that I may need to mess with about:config to fix some of this
stuff, but I have no idea what settings to look at.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Dave

Thanks, Daniel, but no joy.
The following settings are the same for both personal and business accounts.
1: Under Edit->Preferences->Mail & Newsgroup->Junk Mail:
"Global Junk Mail Settings"
-- "When I mark messages as junk" -- Move them to the account's "Junk"
folder -- IS selected
[other option is to delete them -- NOT selected]
-- "Mark messages determined to be junk as read" -- IS NOT selected
-- "Enable junk filter logging" -- IS selected
2: Under Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, select Junk Mail
settings under your Mail account
-- "Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account" -- IS selected
-- "Do not mark mail as junk if the sender is in: Personal Address
Book" -- IS selected
-- "Trust junk mail headers set by:" -- IS NOT selected
-- "Move new junk messages to"
"'junk' folder on [account name]" -- IS selected
"other" -- IS NOT selected
"Automatically delete junk mail older than [XX] days" -- IS NOT
selected
Another glitch, which I again discovered, is that when I look at the
settings for "2: Under Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, select
Junk Mail settings under your Mail account" -- on my personal account
the "OK button doesn't work unless I change something, the only way to
get out of it is to hit "Cancel." On my business account, the "OK button
works even if I don't change anything (the same as how it would work in
any other software).
The settings show as they should be, but they aren't working. Obviously
something is messed up somewhere in my profile. I want to get it fixed
before I switch to SM 2, or else figure a way to get a fresh profile in
SM 2 and transfer all my data over so I don't have these issues.
Thanks, Dave
