Bug #338549 is Closed. Some changes were implemented in Thunderbird 3.1. Someone then declared: "... prompting on startup would be a rare case for the majority of users ..." However, this still happens consistently in SeaMonkey. Either the changes were truly insufficient, or else they were not included in SeaMonkey's Mail-News component. See also bugs #560792 and #560793, which are still Open. <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560792> <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560793> There is a work-around -- 1. Go to your SeaMonkey profile. 2. Open file user.js in a text editor. 3. Insert the following lines: user_pref("signon.startup.prompt", false); // don't ask for master password until it's used, // bugs #338549, #560792, and #560793 Don't forget to include the semi-colon (;) at the end of the first line. The second and third lines are comments to remind you why you did this. 4. Save user.js. For this to work, you must completely terminate SeaMonkey and then relaunch it. Alternatively -- 1. Enter about:config in the SeaMonkey address area. 2. Enter signon in the Filter area. 3. Find and select signon.startup.prompt. 4. Double-click on the entry to change the value from "true" to "false". I prefer the user.js method because that allows me to annotate the change. I only use the about:config method while testing changes. -- David E.
