In the Server Settings, does your ISP require your

I actually compared the two setups in about:config, and
made sure that they were alike. It did not help. Since
Thunderbird works, I can just use that, and also
webmail (to get rid of the trash).
OK, next question: In the Server Settings, does it say
"Server Type: POP Mail Server"? Or did you choose IMAP
during the setup process?
I chose IMAP. Maybe the next version of SeaMonkey will
work better.
It's not SeaMonkey. IMAP works with SeaMonkey. I may float an
idea that maybe the server requires some kind of "register
device" as Google does? Have noticed that when folks bungle
the setup at the start that sometimes you have to clear the
account before it will successfully work. Try a temporary new
profile.
What is a "register device"? Why did the setup work with
Thunderbird and not with SeaMonkey if such a thing is needed?
I am not too concerned about its security since I read
everything as plain text.
I just tried a newer version of SeaMonkey with a fresh profile.
I could still not add a new IMAP account to it. I give up. I
shall just use Thunderbird or webmail.
EE, was it that you were not able to add any sort of new e-mail
account or that you couldn't add an IMAP account??
I added the account, but I was repeatedly told that I had to input a
password, after putting in the password.
O.K., it was just that after you had set up a news account, SM would not
allow you set up another e-mail account .... unless you altered one of the
preference settings.
I just thought this might have been stopping you setting up an e-mail
account ... of either type!
