Why are you opening new threads?
You asked me a question, and I will reply to that question. Yes, I have
sent several connected threads over the past several days-weeks. This
response is not to show disrespect for the help I have received from
this newsgroup in past years…it has truly been professional in all
respects; and I appreciate what individuals willingly give of their time
to assist me and others, when they don’t know the answer to a SeaMonkey
problem. I am in no way an expert at the technical aspects of a
computer…in fact, I recently replaced my old flip phone for a new
Jitterbug smart phone…and even that is currently a challenge for my
lacking technical skills. Well, back to “Why are you opening new
threads? My recent threads do deal with one software program…SeaMonkey.
I presently do not know, after my many recent threads, why…I can see
newsgroup subjects, but I cannot open them in SeaMonkey, and I do not
know why my non-newsgroup messages are not being recorded in my Sent
folder. I decided, since I have not gotten a solution for my problems,
I would start attempting to take them one at a time. Yes, I am not the
youngest person to need help (83); but I have no other place to turn for
help…particularly now that I have to watch myself during this virus
situation. I hope you understand my reasoning for the message in this
thread…I was looking for easy to follow instructions in order that I
would be able to return to a normal SeaMonkey.
I will now recap what I have done as a result of your message:
Make a complete Windows backup
I made the backup.
Deinstall Seamonkey x86
Deinstall Seamonkey x64
Deinstall Thunderbird.
I did deinstall both Seamonkey x86 and x64. I did not deinstall
Thunderbird…it is the only way I have of accessing the newsgroup.
Reboot
I rebooted my system after SeaMonkey was removed.
Make sure that nothing is left in
C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey
C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey
I did make this check, and no SeaMonkey was found in Program Files.
Install SeaMonkey 2.53.2 x64.
I reinstalled SeaMonkey 2.53.2 x64 as you suggested.
Make sure it is installed in C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey
That is where it is installed.
Make it the default for mail, browser and news protocols
I do not know how to make default for browser and news protocols. It is
identified as default for mail.
.
Make sure that you profile data is found and accessible. If unsure
create a new profile and copy all the old data into it.
My profile was found without my involvement.

Here are the results---my problems in SeaMonkey have not changed.
When I click on a message to open it, I see one page flash by followed
by a second window…
Window #1 is titled “Re: Moderated posts on News.mozilla.org (technical)
– mozilla.general on news.mozilla.com – SeaMonkey”
Window #2 is titled “SeaMonkey”;and it is the one that comes up, when I
open my browser.
I can send a message from SeaMonkey…this message does not show up in my
Sent file.
Again, I do thank you for your help…and, hopefully, your continued help
in the future.
