Bad Behavior SM 2.11 on Win7 64

[G. Ross]

My XP machine is breaking up so got a new one with Win7, 64 bit..  SM 
2.014 froze up constantly after opening.  Installed SM 2.11 and it 
does the same. About half the time it just greys out and stops 
responding.  Often when it is finally closed it leaves the program 
"running" in task manager so have to go and manually end it.


Is there any silver lining to this?  Any suggestions appreciated.

You might try deleting (after backing it up) your SeaMonkey profile and
your preferences file.  Then re-install SeaMonkey, creating a fresh
profile and see if it works. You may have some corruption in your
profile or in the SeaMonkey's preferences file.



Did this.  Seemed to work for a while, then froze again.  Overall it is 
working better.


Thanks

start with making sure you have minimum font size set to "none"
in
Preferences/Appearance/Fonts

GW


Thanks.
Yes, I had done that, as well as decreasing the font size with no help 
on the problem.

Try the following:

1.  On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Edit>  Preferences].

2.  On the left side of the Preferences window under Category, select
[Appearance>  Content].

3.  On the Content pane, put a check mark in the checkbox for "Remember
zoom levels on per-site basis".

4.  Select the OK button.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Nothing is working so far (haven't tried 
the no
squint.)  Should have mentioned this is 2.014 on Win7. The content 
pane does not have a check box for "Remember zoom levels".  It only 
has "Use smooth scrolling" whatever that is, "Resize large images to 
fit --", and "Zoom only text, not full page".

Working fine here -- did your mail toolbar get hidden? (in the Compose
window, View | Show/Hide | Mail Toolbar)


Thanks!  It was checked in the Show/hide as usual, but there was a 
little handle below the address section.  I clicked it and all is 
well.  I don't understand it but it is still checked and now it is

Henry, there was a change in file format in the move from SM 1.x to SM
2.x. So, to be safe, you might have to install SM 1.1.19 (this should
pick up your Mozilla profile), then install SM 2.0 and the 2.1 to make
sure the file conversion occurs, and then you should be able to install
SM 2.17 ( the latest version).

All these other versions are downloaded from the bottom of
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/#2.17

Report back if you have any problems!!

I know 2.17 is the latest version.  Yet when I click help>about 
Seamonkey it says I have version 2.6.1  What's the story on that?

Through the Forum, I learned how to archive Sea Monkey and where,  and I was
grateful.  I've been on computers for years, but not too techie, due to
production push.



When my laptop turned blue (constant blue screens), I sent it back to HP for
repair, specifically asked them to save all my files.  When it came back,
all the mail files on the C:\ drive were gone, together with all my added
software programs.  I was able to  reinstall all the extra programs, but all
the mail was lost.



So, isn't that a call for copying those C:\ files somewhere off the computer
for safekeeping - disc, external drive?



Do you not backup your hard drive?  Get a portable hard drive that 
plugs into the USB port and a good backup program.  Do a backup 
regularly, and next time you can just restore the new drive to the 
point of your last backup.  I worked in a hospital once that had also 
never heard of a backup.  The hard drive crashed on one of the office 
computers.  They sent the drive to have the data retrieved but somehow 
the thing was thrown away.  Years of data lost forever.

Assuming you're meaning using SeaMonkey, I'm not sure what your issue is.

Mine is set so that every computer I use has the same IMAP accounts and
all of them show all messages, archives, folders, etc. going back to the
beginning of time.  I would think the only limitation would be your
email provider and their limits on storage.  Mine is Gigabytes so I've
yet to run into an issue.

If you're having trouble please tell us how your IMAP account(s) are
configured.



Yes I am using SeaMonkey.  My email provider limits each account to 2 GB
and one of my accounts is at 1.74GB, lots of PDF's attached to the emails.

I want to preserve the mails and attachments and locally is better for me.

Synchronization is great because the computers I use occasionally (once
a week) match my main computer.  But, I would like to remove older
messages (30 days) from the server without deleting them from all my
computers also.  I have found that deleting from the server deletes from
the local computers also.  I am afraid to change any of my settings
because I do not want to inadvertently delete my older local messages.
Hopefully any changes will not delete any older messages.

My current synchronization settings are:

Keep messages for this account on this computer
Synchronize all messages locally regardless of age
Don't delete any messages
Always keep flagged messages

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I move my keepers to archives, but now I don't know if they are still 
on the server.  So you have got me wondering about the usefulness of 
archives.

Sure, it's easy. If you click Help > About Seamonkey, you'll see the
(Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:45.0) part.

If yours is 32-bit, I think it will say WOW64 instead of Win64; x64.

know that there is a community of users out there willing to spend
time helping an old codger like me.

Clarification:  Before initially uninstalling 2.26.1 I copied all the 
files in the Seamonkey directory to another place, also copied the 
files from Users/appdata/ low and roaming.


Then I  installed the new version without any change in behavior.  I 
uninstalled this but DID NOT install 2.26.1 again.  I simply copied 
the above files back to where they were and made an icon to start 
Seamonkey and it works great.  But according to Control Panel 
Seamonkey is not installed.  Browser brings up things faster than ever 
before.  Is this weird?

I have v.2.39.  When in Reply or Compose you can click on Edit and 
there is a preference for checking spelling as you type.  I can see no 
other choice, yet when I click "Send" it automatically checks the

I am using SeaMonkey 2.40 on WinXP Pro SP3
My likely relevant settings are:

My preferred solution would be to change the color of the folder

A _possible_ alternative might be toggling font face/metric of
the folder title.

Instead of re marking it as unread, you can right click on the heading 
and select "tag".  This gives you a range of types of tags with 
different colors.  I have never used it except to try it out.  Try 
that out.

Who is your internet provider?  They may provide newsgroups.  Check 
with them and see.  Most of them do not provide binary newsgroups (the 
ones that contain pictures, music, etc.) but  some still provide 
regular text newsgroups. If your provider DOES have newsgroups their 
site should have instructions on how to set up to use them.


If your provider does not have newsgroups, then you need to subscribe 
to a website that does.  I use giganews.com  It costs 4.99 per month 
to subscribe and they have given good service.  Some are free.  Do a 
search for "newsgroups" (without the quotation marks).  Once you get 
signed up to one, they should provide instructions on how to use them, 
or some of us may be able to help.

The filters are in the email account folders in files called:

Simply copy those from one machine to the other.  Unless you're changing

I have several email accounts, some with filters, some without.  All

On my machine, the various instances do have content, and they're
distinct. Even those within the same domain (which use the same POP and

On thinking about it, mine are not actual filters.  They are ones I

SeaMonkey automatically asks me if I want it to store a password when I
log in to some site.  I would suggest that you get the latest version of
SeaMonkey, which is 2.25.  You can get that here:
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/


Same here.  My bank no longer asks to remember and every year they

I want it to and I am happy with it.  If it ever feels obsolete I will

initialize properly"](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/217134)

More here [application failed initialize properly
0xc005](http://www.tomshardware.com/s/application+failed+initialize+properly+0xc005/)

Looks like a Windows problem.

Thanks for replying, but I cannot go online to read the links.  THAT is 
my problem.

You need at least XP Service Pack 2 to run SeaMonkey, SP3 recommended.

Sorry, it is SP 3.  I finally found that it was my firewall that had 
gotten messed up since the last time I used this computer.

How can I definitevely remove this ?

I just go to the mail & newsgroups screen, right click on the account

Can't help you with Mac but on windows there is a selection in the 
control panel named "Display".  In it you can change the display font 
size.  This seems to make the text larger in the areas you mentioned. 
 Until my eye surgery I had to use the largest size but now changed 
it to medium.

When you attempt to send a message, SeaMonkey will prompt you for the
password. There will be a checkbox to remember that password. It's the
same password manager used in the browser.


It isn't happening.

To send an email reply, control-click on the message, and select "Reply
to Sender Only". There's also a small arrow beside the Reply toolbar
icon, that will let you choose whether to reply in the newsgroup or to
the sender only.

To save a copy of a newsgroup article, you can either:
* drag the message to any mail folder
* control-click on the message and select "Copy To"
* On the menu bar, go to the Message menu and select "Copy To"
* Add the "File" toolbar icon to the toolbar, and click on it to copy
the message to a folder.


Solves the wrong problem.  I want a method to automatically save copies of 
everything I post.  Any method that requires me to unfailingly remember to do 
something is doomed.

Websites change all the time. They might just have changed something
internally. 2.39 is outdated and will fail rendering more and more websites
correctly.
2.48 is almost ready so if you want to skip 2.46 you can grab the 2.48
candidate build.

SM handles multiple email addresses and has good ways to specify separation

Any hope for this?


I don't keep SM open, so I use PopTray.  It is a little program that

It shows a different color flag in the system tray with the number of

In the last few days, I've caught up on about two weeks of posts in
m.s.seamonkey and m.general, and somewhere, in those several hundred
posts, there was a post mentioning files and folders in SM's cache
folder, with names like along the lines of _CACHE_001_, _CACHE_MAP_, and
folders named (hexadecimally) 0 to F

Unfortunately, after re-reading that message, I didn't re-mark it as
"Unread" so that I could easily find it, if necessary.

  From what I read in the post, someone (I think NoOp) said they were
caused by Windows and to just delete them, and not worry about it. So,
last night, after closing SM, I deleted the Cache folder. Tonight,
before I had started my SM browser, they were all back!


That thread was in reference to 'Cache.Trash' files, not the standard
'Cache' files:

Subject: Re: Cache.Trash26316
References: 
In-Reply-To: 
Message-ID: 


As I understand it, in Windows, when SM or FF experience a session
crash/failure, the existing cache is written to cache.trash. This
apparently was to assist in preserving the cache.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mozilla+%2B+cache.trash

o 754575Cache.Trash* files fill up disk space






Hang onas I understand it, NoOp, e-mail and irc files are not
written to cache, just files required to display a web-site in the browser.

If these files are already written to cache, if a crash occurs why do I
need them re-written somewhere else?? All I should need is a listing of
the sites that were open in the browser at the time of failure, so, when
re-started, FF/SM could re-create my browser screen, either by using the
files in Cache *or* re-downloading the files from the sites if expired.

So why the double up??

I found that when I click on "Clear Cache" in 
preferences/advanced/cache, the cache folder is renamed cache trash 
and a new, empty, cache folder is created.  So then it is necessary to 
delete the cache trash to actually clear out the disk space.  Don't 
know what happens in a crash as I have never had that happen that I 
remember.

What does it do when you open with seamonkey.exe without the " -browser"

Sometimes it opens the browser, and when I close it then have to close

-browser part.  Is there another way to open only the browser window?


Look in about:config for
general.startup
and set what you want to start as TRUE.
I have mine set for browser only.


Why not just use Edit > Preferences > Appearance and set "When SeaMonkey
starts up, open" and check "Browser"? It does the same thing.

If I do that, it will only open the browser and cannot get into the 
mail.  Also, the "seamonkey.exe -mail" will not work. Guess I'll just 
close the mail pane when I want to use the browser to do a Lookup.

Do you not have the icons at the left end of the status bar for browser,
mail & newsgroups, composer, address book and chatzilla?

Yes, and it works fine.  My original complaint is: I had two icons on 
my desktop, one for browser and one for mail.  This no longer works 
and I miss it.

Go to start menu.
In all programs open Semonkey folder,
Drag Mail Icon to desktop.  Do the same with the browser icon.

Finally!  That works like I am used to.  Thanks so much.

Javascript

[G. Ross]

Just started using the latest SM and when visiting local weather a 
message popped up saying I need JavaScript to view it.  Should I 
install Javascript and if so how to get it?  Thanks.

Javascript (as opposed to Java) is natively supported by pretty much 
all browsers, if that site thinks you don't have it then I see two 
possibilities:

- You have turned it off (Preferences -> Advanced -> Scripts & Plugins)
- You have something like Noscript running and that has turned it off 
for you, for this site.




Or the site tests for some JS primitive that SM doesn't implement.

Or the site doesn't recognise SM and proceeds on the assumption that it 
doesn't implement the JS level that it thinks is needed.


G. Ross, what's the weather web site? Do you have its exact URL you saw
this issue?
