I found that upgrading to SeaMonkey 2.33 (linux and Windows) with the Enigmail extension causes mailnews accounts to show as "Invalid Account". So I checked around and found a few bugs related. Asked on the Enigmail mail list & this is the result:

If you use enigmail you will need to use the 1.8 nightlies until 1.8 is officially realeased. Seems that the: <https://www.enigmail.net/home/index.php> "Enigmail is a security extension to Mozilla Thunderbird and Seamonkey. It enables you to write and receive email messages signed and/or encrypted with the OpenPGP standard." Should probably be changed to "Enigmail is a security extension to Mozilla Thunderbird & if resources are available maybe SeaMonkey"... Is there a viable alternative to Enigmail for SeaMonkey (Windows and Linux)? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
