Hello.
Thank you for the link.
I will try it when I next boot up the Debian 7 system (which, at present,
happens about once a month, for a couple of hours, due to what is
involved).
Regarding the proverb that you have included above, I believe that the
originator is wrong; if people do nothing, and allow evil, then they are
not good; they are complicit in the evil.
My simplified (and, I believe, more accurate) version of that proverb, is
"Evil flourishes where apathy prevails"
.
Unfortunately, the version 2.29 of Seamonkey at the above link, appears to be
not a working version.
I downloaded and installed it, then found that a british english dictionary
is not available (spellchecking for outgoing email, is useful, but, does not
prevent the sending of badly spelled messages in the absence of a
spellchecking dictionary) for the version 2.29, but, also found that the mail
component would not either create a Sent messages folder, or, copy sent
messages to that folder (which it would not create).
I have separate outgoing (IMAP) and incoming (SMTP) servers, but, in trying
different combinations of settings, including the settings that I have been
successfully using in iceape on Debian 6, I could not get Seamonkey 2.29
mail, working on Debian 7 amd64 LXDE.
So, after having spent about an hour, trying unsuccessfully to get the mail
facility set up in Seamonkey 2.29, I have had to give up, and write it off as
unusable.
I have now apparently solved the problem of the Sent folder.
The settings defaulted to creating the folder (and, a Drafts folder,
and, I think, maybe another one) within the mail account set up in
setting up the mail facility within Seamonkey.
However, also present, and, available as an option, is to replace the
mail account directory hierarchy option, with the Local Folders option.
I selected that option, for each of the folders to be set up (apart from
the Inbox), and that appears to have worked, with the Sent folder being
created within the Local Folders hierarchy, and, a copy of a sent test
message, apparently being written to that Sent folder.
I use multiple email applications for composing and sending outgoing
email, which goes through the SMTP server that is separate to the
incoming (IMAP) mail server that is with a different Internet service
provider (ISP) (the SMTP server is with the ISP that provides me with
acces to the Internet, and, the IMAP server is with the ISP that hosts
my domain names and thence, incoming email).
I use the email application "formerly known as PINE" for my incoming
email, and so the email applications that I use to send outgoing email,
do not (insofar as I am aware) access the IMAP server.
That has not previously (as far as I remember) affected the setting of
the mail folders for copies of composing and sent messages, within the
email accoint file hierarchy, but, this appears to be different in
Seamonkey 2.29, which apparently, requires the particular folders to be
stored within the Local Folders file hierarchy.
So, the problem of not being able to save a copy of sent messages, in a
Sent folder, appears to now be overcome.
Now, if only a british english dictionary for spellchecking (and
grammar?) for Seamonkey 2.29, would be avail;able, it would be good...
