Thanks. Nice find and fix even though I never ran into this bug since I use POP3 almost daily? :)

Since SeaMonkey's ESR60 version will be the next BIG jump for, why don't they call it v3? It's a BIG jump and change like with Firefox v52 to v60! Yeah, I'm not happy with the addon changes. I'll lose a lot too! :(

Well I frequently scan the console errors and stumbled over this one. At first I didn't think it was that easy to solve but after looking at the code...

We are currently in a fix. ESR52 2.49.x is basically eol in September. 2.53 is only a stopgap for testing and porting and will probably never be released. It would need l10n changes for all languages and also more security fixes backported. Maybe we will do a beta later to see if the new infra is ok.

The next planned major version is 2.57 based on ESR60 but thanks to our Mozilla "friends" this needs some extensive changes and is nowhere ready for prime time. If you want a working ad and script blocker it also needs web extension support which doesn't make it easier because the current implementation is a mess only suitable for Firefox. We need to port all the front end changes and make them somehow compatible.

So we will try to backport sec fixes for 2.49 a while longer. 2.49.5 will probably appear in October if either the new infrastructure is ready or the old one still available for us.

As usual more devs are always welcome to speed this up :)

Wow, another minor upgrade again for a 12 years old bug according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365384. Better late than never I guess. ;) When is v2.49.5 planned to be released? Very soon? Also, is v2.49.5 going to the final minor version before v2.53?--
