This is a known issue, described in the release notes: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.5/ More details here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521861 The *simple* workaround for this is to delete the news account. A more complex workaround, not involving deleting the news account, is composed of the following steps: a) Open about:config b) type "nntp" in the search box c) You will see perhaps a half a dozen lines (exact number depends on your setup), one or two of which begin by "mail.server.server" followed by a number (for instance, "mail.server.server5") Note this number, you will need it below. If there's more than one line, try the higher number first. d) Right-click somewhere in the empty area and select "New," "Boolean". In the "Enter the preference name" dialog, type "mail.server.serverX.valid" (where X is the number you found in the previous step). For instance, in my example, the preference name would be "mail.server.server5.valid". e) Set this pref to "True." f) Test -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
