As Mozilla are intent on ruining both Firefox and Thunderbird, I
though I'd give Seamonkey a try. However, I hit a problem almost
immediately. It installed just fine on my Linux test system, so I
tried it on my main Windows 7 system. Any attempt to set up e-mail
accounts failed - the system would not allow me to set the first or
subsequent e-mail accounts to use a Global Inbox system - the radio
button to allow it does not function (although the dropdown along
side it seems to), and it will not allow me to tick "include this
server when getting new e-mail". It makes no difference if the
account is set up to use SSL or not - neither work.
Is this a known problem with Seamonkey? It seems odd is it is, as I
would have thought that would have been fixed years ago as a matter
of urgency. If not, and although it uses a separate profile, might it
be because I have Thunderbird and Firefox on the same machine? I did
not use the Thunderbird import facility on setup, should that be a
factor.
I've replied to myself here so that I can transfer this message plus
the original to the dev group - follow up is set to
mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey.
Since writing, I tried several times to remove and completely
reinstall 2.26 to no avail, the problem persists. I've just
uninstalled (including profile, of course) it again and installed
Seamonkey 2.25. There is a minor error in this in that the account
wizard still fails to make a new account use the Global inbox system
when ticked, but you can successfully manually change the account
settings from within in the account manager.
My guess is that in trying to fix the problem in the Wizard in 2.25, a
new bug or a regression has screwed the system completely in 2.26?
Either way, it needs fixing sharpish, chaps.
I think I have been able to reproduce the bug whereby the Global Inbox
tickbox is ignored when setting up the account. However as yet I have
not been able to reproduce the other regressions that you describe.
