Problems after upgrading SeaMonkey from v1.18 to v2.03

I just did this upgrade. It seemed to run OK and all the email and bookmarks from my old profile appear to have been successfully imported. But there are a couple of issues: 1. Every time I start SeaMonkey v2.03, it asks for the master password for the software security device. This is in spite of the fact that in preferences->privacy & security->master passwords I have checked the selection "SeaMonkey will ask for your master password the first time it is needed". Surprisingly, if I click "cancel" on the password dialog box without entering the password, SeaMonkey starts norm

Unicode fonts

Ran into a curious issue today... it's not really a problem, at least not for me, but still curious. Let me establish the parameters first. I'm running XP SP3 with the "extra" fonts (Far Eastern and right-to-left) installed, so it should have a pretty good Unicode font coverage. Not only that, but I have the Code2000 font installed also, which should plug most holes Microsoft left in their coverage. I have the following browsers available: - Seamonkey 2.0.3 (primary browser) - IE 8 (fully patched) - Firefox 3.6 - Opera 10.5 - SRWare Iron 4.0.280 (equivalent to Google Chrome 4)

Email Backups

I am hoping SM has an easy way to backup emails. Right now I drag a folder to the external HD and that is my backup. One click and done. With Netscape I had to drill down to the email folder and drag that over....couldn't always find it, or even access it later. How do you backup your SM emails? D Taylor

lost bookmarks when creating subfolder went wrong

I'm running SM2.03 and this is what happened: my bookmarks toolbar was becoming a bit full, and I decided to create a new folder and drop some of the bookmarks into it to get a little more space. But I didn't want the folder to be named New Folder so I tried to rename it. However after I had dropped my bookmarks in, I noticed that the rename box was still up. I thought I had maybe called it up twice and cancelled. To my great surprise, my new folder (with its new name and bookmarks) disappeared completely! Is there any way to get them back? I noticed they are already gone from

PowerPoint (.pps) attachment problem from gmail.com

Hello all, since I updated to SM 2.0.3 (I think), I can't read .pps attachments I=20 receive from people using a gmail accont. In the message window I see the attachment name in light grey, and the=20 attachment itself shown below the attachment line. Eg: file-name.pps _____________ =EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD=11=E0=A1=B1=1A=EF=BF=BD=1A I can't save the attachment, all the options are greyed out. This happens only if the attachment is a .PPS *and* is sent to me in a ne= w=20 message; if the same thing if forwarded, I receive it normally. The sender and I both have OSX Tiger,

SM2.1: Workaround for remote timestamp on downloads?

Hello world! As proposed in bug 178506, downloaded files are now assigned the last- modified timestamp from the remote server. This is a major annoyance in my opinion, but since even reasonable suggestions such as chaging the behaviour through a pref (bug 545392) fall on deaf ears, I guess this is one of those ideological deals which you can't argue about. Can somebody suggest a more convenient workaround than | If you want the timestamp on a file downloaded by Firefox to be | different from that on the server, you can change it yourself ? As you can tell from my asinine sense

strange dock icon behavior

Hi Folks, Running SeaMonkey 2.0.3 on a Mac (OS 10.6.2), and over the past several days I've noticed a new, strange, and unwanted behavior. Until a few days ago, the SeaMonkey icon in my dock would show (in a red circle) the number of unread email messages, and would reduce that number as I read messages. As of a few days ago, the number stopped decrementing. If my mailbox is empty, all is fine, the number starts ticking up. Then I read mail and the number stays the same, until I restart SeaMonkey, at which point it resets to whatever number of unread messages are left.

Optiions/Character encoding problems

SM 1.1.18, Mac OS 10.6.2. I had occasionally been getting garbage characters showing up in my message text body that replaced apostrophes, and the like. When I checked Options/Character Encoding, I saw Western ISO-8859-1 was checked. For various reasons, I don�t like ISO-8859-1 and prefer Unicode UTF-8. That gets rid of the odd characters, but in a short time, they return, and when I check Options/Character Encoding, it has jumped back to putting a checkmark by ISO-8859-1 once again! All by itself. I did NOT change it. I finally went to Options/Character Encoding/Customize Lis

Importing from Mozilla

With the latest version of SeaMonkey, will it import the entire profiles from both Firefox and Thunderbird automatically? If not, how will the individual profiles be merged into the bundled version? When I tried it, I ticked to import the entire profile, but only a few files came over. Finally, if not satisfied, can I go right back to FF & TB without moving files again. If not, how? Thanks in advance..

What is the command for SeaMonkey

I can't find my notes and I want to look at the config, at leas I hope that is what it is where all the commands for seamonkey are. Age is getting longer and memory getting shorter. I thought it was aboutcfg: but I guess I am wrong. As I said earlier I keep losing mail and no warning either, I have it set to keep emails and warn me if delete but the last time the contents of the in box all disappeared. All I had done was click on an email. Right now I have them all marked unread so they won't disappear. Same in Trash if I mark them unread they stay but read and into limbo the

Disable specific Seamonkey components

Hi everybody, I'm sick and tired of Thunderbird 3 for various reasons and have started evaluating alternatives. Currently, I'm looking at Evolution and Seamonkey. As you all know every Seamonkey window has five buttons on the lower left - Browser, Mail & Newsgroups, Composer, Addressbook, and IRC-Chat. The tricky part is that I'm not evaluating Seamonkey to run it on my personal computer only, but to run it on our company XDMCP servers to switch ~1,200 users from Thunderbird/Firefox to Seamonkey. And obviously we don't want our users to run Composer or IRC-Chat, so the question is q

How long is the bug processing delay?

Tomorrow is the 1st birthday of one of my bugs. It was reported properly, it was confirmed a few days later. Even though it was confirmed the status didn't change from NEW. And checking I see that your config of bugzilla doesn't include CONFIRMED, ASSIGNED, or even CLOSED. Is a year too soon to hope someone will at least acknowledge it exists, and do triage on it to tell me: - we will fix it someday - we don't plan to fix it, too trivial - we intended it to work that way Happy birthday https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481745 Bug 550060 waits confirmation, if any

50 Tests for Seamonkey css3 implementation

I presume Firefox would do as well or poorly, these actually work with some other browsers.

Changing the reply format

Is it still the case with SM 2.x that you need to edit prefs.js (and set mailnews.reply_header_type) to change the reply header style, e.g. "on <date> <time>, <person> said:"? I was about to do this, but thought I'd better check that there isn't a preference GUI option that I should be using. -- Neil Hughes

Chatzilla "Bookmarks"

I was just about to submit a RFE to Bugzilla, but thought I might just check here first!! Does Chatzilla have a "Bookmarks" equivalent, i.e. a list of the channels that I like, so I can just open Chatzilla an go to my "Bookmarks" and I'm in the group?? Closest I can see at the moment is, when I am already logged into a channel, I can go IRC->Join Channel, but if I'm not logged in anywhere, the "Join Channel" is greyed out. TIA Daniel

Problem with imap

Dear support, I downloaded Seamonkey 2.0.3 and now for the first time I use the build-in mail program too. I've seen that imap seems to work for errors with this program. My account is a paid-account (GMX Promail) and imap is inclusive. Thunderbird works fine and shows me all subfolders in the inbox. Seamonkey shows me only the first subfolder. Can you tell me why, and how I can fix it? Thank you, Eloise

Problem in copy pasting of multiple e-mail in address bar

1) I am using Seamonkey version 2.0.3. If I want to send an e-mail to more than one persons, I can not copy paste multiple e-mails from word and excel files to address bar. I have to copy paste each e-mail individually which takes longtime. Please solve my problem as soon as possible. 2) The E-mail client of Seamonkey does neither receive the mails nor send the mails despite of all server settings(POP and SMTP) are correctly configured. The only message it displays is " CONNECTION TO SERVER TIMED OUT" OR "FAILED TO CONNECT THE SERVER". FYI, I am using multiple e-mail accounts includ

coral ie tab

My primary computer hard drive went fried, and with it some of my SM 2.0.3 attachments (Win-XP ed3). One important one was Coral IE tab. With the new drive I go to the "Add-ons for SeaMonkey" page, find the correct attachment, highlight "SeaMonkey" and click on "download to SeaMonkey"; but it just takes me to a page to click on End-User License Agreement for ver. 1.63.20091024.

seamonkey-2.x.. shortcomings (linux)

Hi all I am far from an experienced linux user, however I can find my way around a linux system. I use Puppy Linux which uses Seamonkey as the default browser. Now, in Seamonkey-1.x series I (and all other Puppy users) could drag a link or an image from the browser to a directory and wget would automatically start and download the file. Nice feature. In all seamonkey-2.x series so far this option seems not possible. I have tried static builds, official mozilla builds and have compiled seamonkey myself (several times) and still can not get this functionality. Is there a ./conf

Sent subfolder regenerates by itself

I have 3 E-Mail accounts plus my Local Folder. After I upgraded to SM2, an empty Sent subfolder appeared inside the regular Sent folder in my Local Folders. If I delete it, it goes away, but reappears the next time I run SM. Is there any way that I can get rid of it for good. Can I also get rid of the Sent folder inside the Local Folders, since I don't use it (the 3 E-mail accounts have their own Sent folder).

View Message Body As Bug

In SM2/TB3, if I save a message as a .eml file and then open it from the File menu, it opens in a new window in which the "View Message Body As" feature does not work. The selection button moves, but the view does not change. This only happens with a saved file. If a regular message is displayed in a separate window, the "View Message Body As" feature works correctly. -- David Wilkinson

Migration help needed 1.1.18 to 2.0.3

So today I decided to update my last 1.1.18 hold out to 2.0.3 and I have some issues, most likely from an improperly performed upgrade (my fault). Can I get some help fixing this. I installed the 2.0.3 into the 1.1.18 directory, bad mistake. At that point I could not get Seamonkey to work at all. I uninstalled 2.0.3 and then reinstalled into the default directory, which was different for 2.x than 1.1.x. At this point 2.0.3 works fine and I was able to import most of my settings. I was not able to import mail or news though. I then reinstalled 1.1.8 and am using that to comp

Re: Turn Composer into a full-fledged word processor?

Greetings: I didn't intend to cause any heated discussion with this topic. I merely wanted to know whether a Composer "word-processor enhancement" plug-in was technically possible via a third party or hacker. I wasn't demanding it, though it'd be awfully fun to have in your quiver, especially since "cloud"-type word processors like Zoho have given exclusive attention to plugging in their features into MS Office and Word.

Odd Characters in Sidebar Search

Ever since 2.x, the sidebar search entry field turns spaces into % symbols after a search is performed. For instance, I have Google as the default, and when I type in "some thing with spaces" and hit return, the entry line becomes "some%thing%with%spaces" (that was a direct copy/paste) while the actual Google website page search field contains "some thing with spaces" UNTIL I click the sidebar search button again, then the web page field is populated with "some%thing%with%spaces" Any idea why?

Warning to upgrade

Why is 2.0.3 telling me there's a new version available and I should download 2.0.3?

I leave the distribution default in /usr/bin and run the latest stable or pre out of /usr/local/ instead.

How to use SeaMonkey to do ftp uploads?

I remember, back in the day, that Netscape permitted browsing to an ftp site and dragging and dropping files for upload to the site. I think that was also possible with Mozilla. With SeaMonkey 2.02, any time I try to drag and drop a file onto an ftp site, SeaMonkey thinks I'm trying to download a file. Is there any way to use SeaMonkey for ftp uploads to sites?

VML/SVG
