Seamonkey 2 as Default
I installed Seamonkey 2 in its own directory and left the 1.1.18 installation in place just in case. The profile imported with only a few minor problems with settings that have been mentioned in other threads. External programs that call for the default browser or e-mail program still open the 1.1.18 versions.

Maybe you can change those path to SM2's path and save the regkey, but backup first!!! just a-little-google-it, so I didn't try this method practically.

Re: TEXT PARTIALLY GRAY INSTEAD OF BLACK. WAS:
Daniel wrote: James, some people use signature blocks which contain their names, contact details, amusing quotes, whatever. These can be added, automatically, by telling SM where the sig file is. Then, at the end of the real message, SM adds a sig delimiter (a line consisting of two dashes followed by a space) and then adds, usually in a lighter text, the sig file. Actually, the sig file is grayed out as a display feature, just as quoted material is italicized or reddened (depending on your settings), but if you look at the source code you'll see nothing -- no special codes to make it do that. SM, like its predecessors, recognizes quote marks and sig delimiters and uses that input to modify the display. If things are happening right, when that message is quoted the sig delimiter and the sig file are not quoted. But, if things don't happen right, the sig delimiter might not be removed, so anything after the sig delimiter is in the lighter text. Can be a real problem if people top post, i.e. reply at the top of the message. Yep. Everything after their sig, including the entire original message, is treated as their sig, which means a) it's grayed out, and b) it's stripped out when the next person replies, a sort of automatic pruning. ;-) -- All it takes is a line of dash-dash-space for SM to decide this is the sig and everything from here on out is grayed and stripped from replies. See? My message now contains three sig delimiters, and everything after the first one is grayed out. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

Re: Stes that have Security Questions

If the page doesn't present a form to be filled, no form manager or password manager will respond. I suspect IE on the OP's machine is set to accept all cookies and save them forever, so when the OP returns the cookie is still there and the site reads it, so it doesn't ask the question. SM is set differently (there are dozens of possible settings) so the cookie is not already present at initial page loading and the site asks the question. Just for an example, I have my machine set to accept /only/ session cookies, which means it clears all cookies every time I shut SM down. In my case, the site would always ask the security question. In Internet Exploiter 8, you can now set the program to clear all cookies on exit if that is your preference: Tools | Options | General tab (You can get to the same dialog without launching the program via Control Panel | Internet Options) Under Browsing history, check the box Delete browsing history on exit, and then click the Delete... button (don't worry, this won't actually delete anything yet). In the Delete browsing history dialog that appears, check the box for Cookies and any other elements you want to delete at each program shutdown. Caution: These deletions may not be implemented in case of a program or system crash. IE does have a rudimentary form filler, called AutoComplete.

Re: Was SeaMonkey 2.0 really ready for release?
OldCroc wrote: With all the problems that too many seasoned users, of SeaMonkey,are having, is it possible that the Final release of version 2.0 was released PREMATURELY?? Yes, there are many satisfied users, also, but there ARE too many who are NOT and the attitude of the developers should be to listen to the users, and try to rectify Version 2.0 OR WITHDRAW IT UNTIL IT REALLY IS READY!!! I have read where it is said that the old code was not usable anymore, or could Not be corrected, but it seems to me, that Version 2.0 IS NO BETTER! WHY DID THE DEVELOPERS COMPLETELY IGNORE WHAT THE USERS WERE SAYING ALL ALONG, AND THEN DEVELOP A LIMPING NOT-READY FOR PRIME TIME VERSION, ANYWAY? In this regard I would have to agree in general with the assessment of Seamonkey developer Robert Kaiser who has responded to your comment in this thread. To be fair, overall, the code stability of the SM 2.0 application ITSELF is basically as good as, if not more stable than, all previous SM 1.X versions I have used in the last few years. It's true that the automated profile and user data files migration can be tricky, and the automatic migration utility have varying success with this depending on the user's system set up / configuration with past SM 1.X versions. There are also a lot of different upgrade / migration methods that users of different experience ranges use which can also impact the success of the automatic migration. For myself, I have always performed migration for the Mozilla suite and Seamonkey releases manually. If the user has a thorough understanding of the key profile files and configuration files that needs to be migrated, the automatic migration process can actually be skipped / omitted completely for an even cleaner migration outcome, which is exactly how I migrated from SM 1.X to 2.X with great success. I applaud the Seamonkey developers NOT to reinvent the wheel even though in SM 2.0 they moved to a completely different developer toolkit much more based on Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. But the great thing was that all the user data files, profile configuration files from SM 1.X were essentially by and large fully compatible with SM 2.0. The only real exception I've found so far is the browser history data file, where SM 2.0 used a completely different format. Even that was easy to migrate because I found out at some point that SM 2.0 will auto convert an old format browser history file to the new history data file format if one just simply planted the old browser history file in the SM 2.0 profile directory, and when SM 2.0 was started up, the application was smart enough to detect the presence of the old history data file and immediately convert it to the new format. While I understand that not every user has in-depth knowledge of Mozilla suite and SM profile configuration files and a manual migration method is not always feasible for all users, my personal experience with manual migration was delightfully easy and smooth, and I did not need to end up with a second set of my e-mail data files had I used the automatic migration method. There are many subtle but important improvements in the SM 2.0 Messenger mail/news client, not the least of which is the way it has improved and more logical / sensible thread sorting logic compared to SM 1.X. Before I performed SM 1.X to 2.0 migration, I performed a complete hard disc image back up so that I had the option to if necessary, completely restore my hard disc partitions to exactly the way they were before anything was changed, had I ended up with a botched migration. Then all that was necessary was to install SM 2.0 and create a new profile in a disc location that I preferred, delete the default profile, and then manually migrate all the SM 1.X key profile files into the SM 2.0 profile directory. I even decided to let SM 2.0 suck-in the parameters from the SM 1.X PREFS.JS file even though I was unsure of the final outcome but decided that it was a worthwhile risk to try, because I knew that PREFS.JS would be automatically rewritten by SM 2.0 upon quitting th application anyway, so any SM 1.X PREFS.JS parameters would either by recognized by SM 2.0 when it first read it, or just ignore old prefs parameters. But SM 2.0 sucked-in all the 1.X prefs parameters I had successfully and as a result, I did NOT even have to recreate / reconfigure all my multiple mail accounts, SM 2.0 immediately found them at their original locations. To recreate all my multiple mail account and newsgroup settings would have been a pain in the neck. It was pretty much a snap. There was some minor PREFS.JS editing I had to perform, because I decided to move my news folder location, but it was a simple search and replace operation using a text editor on the PREFS.JS file. So for power users who know the application intimately, this is one option to migrate. But I think that anyone who has that much familiarity with SM

Then I reinstalled 1.1.18, after it installed I opened it to create a profile then I deleted the files in the new profile it created and copied over the files from the temp directory and it loaded in perfectly. Then I reinstalled 2.0 and this time the import wizard came up and I transferred over the profile. Everything seems to be working so far, keep your fingers crossed. -- Big Bill Massillon, Oh USA ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Installed fine in 2.0, and it should meet everyone's needs. Thanks so much, Phil! Lee Actually No it doesn't exactly work. On SeaMonkey 2 Mac OSX.4.11 when installed it if you go from Mail to Browser there is a empty web page the controls are there. Clicking on Home bring up page. but once you close the Browser and reopen its back to empty page. As far as what its supposed to do . It great. Now every time I switch to it I'll have to get use to a blank window and just type in the URL or hit home first. No idea what you are talking about here, Did you install the right extension? I installed it this afternoon on my macbook Pro, and just now on my iMac. It works beautifully. The entry for Form History appears in the Tools menu of the menu bar, but only from the browser window, Mail/News doesn't need a forms manager. After installing, I opened the browser, then Mail/News. I closed the browser window, then reopened. The dialog that opens from ToolsForm History is still there and works beautifully. Heck, I've only had a quick look, but it looks a lot better then what 1.1.18 had. The way you describe it working is kind of bizarre. Can you go step by step and tell us how you are trying to invoke the Form History Controls, and where it goes wrong. I get nothing like a blank page, and nothing like a home button. As an example,on my start page, there is a Map Quest directions form that I use a lot. When I am on that page, I click ToolsForm HistoryForm History Control. In the resulting dialog, I see all the fomr history saved in SeaMonkey. I can click a rqdio button, and see just the form history for that page. I quickly saw one typo, where I had typed West Cormwall, instead of West Cornwall, and I was able to remove the entry easily. It also had all my search queries saved, making it very easy to remove duplicate searches, or again, those with typos. Its a great extension, and adds more then the tool it replaces.

When you answer the question correctly, the site sets a cookie in your profile. The next time you try to login, the site fetches the cookie and bypasses the question if the cookie contains the correct information. Sometimes, the cookie will be for the domain of the outside service that created the software used by the financial institutions. Thus, you might not only have to accept cookies normally (permanently and not merely for the current session), but also you might have to enable all cookies and not merely those for the originating Web site. I have found that some sites restrict bypassing the challenge question by sniffing for what browser you are using. Only approved browsers will bypass the question. Of course (unfortunately), they sniff for Firefox and not for Gecko. Thus, with SeaMonkey, you will always be asked a challenge question. (Sniffing also means that the question will be asked if you change browsers.) I stopped trying to convince two banks, two credit unions, and a mutual fund group that sniffing for Firefox is wrong. Instead, I setup a special profile for accessing financial institutions. In this profile, I always spoof for Firefox with the following UA string: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091017 SeaMonkey/2.0 NOT Firefox/3.5.3 I also have set this profile to accept all cookies normally. I never use this profile unless I intend to logon to one of my financial accounts. To get public information from any of the institutions' sites, I use my normal profile. A few sites assume everyone has broadband with a fixed IP address. This is a very bad assumption. Approximately 10% of Internet users in the U.S. still use dial-up with a new IP address each time they connect. On top of that, you might get a new IP address when you reboot your broadband modem. You might try viewing your cookies -- on the menu bar, select [Tools Cookie Manager Manage Stored Cookies] -- and see if you detect an IP address as the value of a cookie that has the domain of your credit union's Web site. If so, the credit union has a real problem that needs to be fixed. By the way, a number of studies have concluded that challenge questions and also security images provide no security. In place of the questions, you need to have strong passwords that you don't write down on a PostIt or save in an unencrypted file. In place of images, you need (1) to check that the padlock icon appears in the lower-right corner of your SeaMonkey browser window and (2) never access your account from a link in an E-mail or newsgroup message. -- David E.

The grass may seem greener on the other side of the fence, but if you start to climb the fence and in the process cut yourself, tear your clothes, scrape your knee and sprain your ankle, and then get stuck just before reaching the top and have to painfully climb back down, the crossing may not be worth it. That's how I feel after trying to migrate 3 separate profiles in 3 separate user areas of Win XP. Then to hear that you can't cut paste within SM3 - all of a sudden there are a lot of brown patches on that grass. I'm really disappointed in SM's install implementation and Robert Kaiser's attitude (Almost all of the problem are migration problems only... as if they were insignificant.) I've never had as much trouble upgrading a program as I've had going from SM 1.8 to 2.0. And I've been a faithful user since Mosaic and Navigator. I'm going to forgo all the supposed wonderful goodies on the other side of that fence and wait until SM 2.0.1 makes it possible to get there without a trip to the hospital or a degree in computer science. Lance First of all, see my response to Ray, the copy/paste problem is far from a universal one. Most users find it works without issue. I have no problem with it at all, in either Mac OS or XP. As far as ptofile migration, either you people have short memories, or, more likely, you are just not as old as me. I remember clearly when Firefox 0.9 was released. FF stored its profile in a completely new location (actually similar to where SM is placing it now). There was an Import Wizard that was to move the profile data to this new location. Same deal, for some people it worked, for some it didn't. Those of us who were testing beta's knew it was coming. For those who didn't, the uproar was incredible. The number of people who swore that they would never move on, they would never upgrade, was, well, similar to what we see here, if not worse. Well, of course they did, and now FF is the most popular of the alternative browsers. I know, we are talking five years ago, and a product that had not reached 1.0 status. Still it is an analogous situation. FF 0.9 probably had more users then SM 1.1.x has now. Yet all their profiles had to be fairly recent, and still they had problems. SM 1.x was an already old and creaky base of code. It was released to save the program. It was to benefit the oldline users of Netscape and Mozilla Suite. Many of their profiles were converted from Communicator, and then used through any number of different programs and versions. They are going to have problems, and probably need to be rebuilt. Maybe the reason that I had little problem with the conversion is that I tend to play fast and loose with my profiles, for testing purposes. I rebuild them periodically, just to keep them cleaned up. Profile migration is unlikely to improve in future point releases, which will contain security related changes. Waiting for 2.0.1 is unlikely to be the answer. As I recall, didn't Robert post in this group that 2.1 would probably not migrate profiles? Certainly no answer there. So folks, you are left with two choices. Either bite the bullet now, or stay with 1.1.18. If you stay with 1.1.18, you are staying with a dead end, it won't be updated. Sooner or later, you are either going to have to go the new SeaMonkey, or find other options entirely. Either way you are going to have move your data somehow. If you choose to stay with SeaMonkey 2.0, and migrate your data manually, once its done its done, and you are ready for the new world. If you need help doing so, help is available here. If not, I hope you have the best of luck with wherever you choose to go. Lee Lee: Bite the bullet and do what?

Well it looks like I'm definitely going back to 1.1.18, I was just trying to write an email to someone and at first wanted to copy a web site address from 2.0 browser into the body of the letter and couldn't then after I manually typed it in I realized I should move it to earlier in the sentence and couldn't this really sucks, every time I would try to paste it would put in something I copied earlier from outside SeaMonkey. -- Big Bill Massillon, Oh USA ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

This is a reported bug, but does not affect every user. I was just happily copy/pasting in 2.0 with no issue at all. Have you tried opening in Safe Mode, and see if it works there? If not, have you tried creating a test profile to see if it works there?

The grass may seem greener on the other side of the fence, but if you start to climb the fence and in the process cut yourself, tear your clothes, scrape your knee and sprain your ankle, and then get stuck just before reaching the top and have to painfully climb back down, the crossing may not be worth it. That's how I feel after trying to migrate 3 separate profiles in 3 separate user areas of Win XP. Then to hear that you can't cut paste within SM3 - all of a sudden there are a lot of brown patches on that grass. I'm really disappointed in SM's install implementation and Robert Kaiser's attitude (Almost all of the problem are migration problems only... as if they were insignificant.) I've never had as much trouble upgrading a program as I've had going from SM 1.8 to 2.0. And I've been a faithful user since Mosaic and Navigator. I'm going to forgo all the supposed wonderful goodies on the other side of that fence and wait until SM 2.0.1 makes it possible to get there without a trip to the hospital or a degree in computer science. Lance First of all, see my response to Ray, the copy/paste problem is far from a universal one. Most users find it works without issue. I have no problem with it at all, in either Mac OS or XP. As far as ptofile migration, either you people have short memories, or, more likely, you are just not as old as me. I remember clearly when Firefox 0.9 was released. FF stored its profile in a completely new location (actually similar to where SM is placing it now). There was an Import Wizard that was to move the profile data to this new location. Same deal, for some people it worked, for some it didn't. Those of us who were testing beta's knew it was coming. For those who didn't, the uproar was incredible. The number of people who swore that they would never move on, they would never upgrade, was, well, similar to what we see here, if not worse. Well, of course they did, and now FF is the most popular of the alternative browsers. I know, we are talking five years ago, and a product that had not reached 1.0 status. Still it is an analogous situation. FF 0.9 probably had more users then SM 1.1.x has now. Yet all their profiles had to be fairly recent, and still they had problems. SM 1.x was an already old and creaky base of code. It was released to save the program. It was to benefit the oldline users of Netscape and Mozilla Suite. Many of their profiles were converted from Communicator, and then used through any number of different programs and versions. They are going to have problems, and probably need to be rebuilt. Maybe the reason that I had little problem with the conversion is that I tend to play fast and loose with my profiles, for testing purposes. I rebuild them periodically, just to keep them cleaned up. Profile migration is unlikely to improve in future point releases, which will contain security related changes. Waiting for 2.0.1 is unlikely to be the answer. As I recall, didn't Robert post in this group that 2.1 would probably not migrate profiles? Certainly no answer there. So folks, you are left with two choices. Either bite the bullet now, or stay with 1.1.18. If you stay with 1.1.18, you are staying with a dead end, it won't be updated. Sooner or later, you are either going to have to go the new SeaMonkey, or find other options entirely. Either way you are going to have move your data somehow. If you choose to stay with SeaMonkey 2.0, and migrate your data manually, once its done its done, and you are ready for the new world. If you need help doing so, help is available here. If not, I hope you have the best of luck with wherever you choose to go. Lee Lee: Bite the bullet and do what? Nothing that has been suggested here for migrating profiles from different user areas has worked for me. Lance Have you tried manual migraton of the 1.1.18 profile data into a new 2.0 profile? You create a new, clean profile in 2.0, and migrate the data into the new profile. Not all of it can be moved, but most of it can. You can recreate the mail and news accounts, then migrate the data from the old profile. Most users find with news accounts its just as easy to resubscribe to the groups, but is you need to migrate your data, it can be done. Mail accounts involve moving the data from the mail folder in the old profile location to the new profile location. It helps if you recreate the mail accounts in the exact order of the old profile. With cookies, passwords, and form data, its probably just as easy to reenter the data as needed and rebuild it that way. I'm not saqying this is

This happens every few seconds. If this is a better way to reply can you tell me how to get rid of the pop-up error messages? I also get a message that my post could not be copied to the sent folder after I do actually send it.

This is a reported bug, but does not affect every user. I was just happily copy/pasting in 2.0 with no issue at all. Have you tried opening in Safe Mode, and see if it works there? If not, have you tried creating a test profile to see if it works there? Lee Well, you misunderstand me. Safe Mode does not always reproduce the effect of a clean profile. I am not suggesting that you set up a new profile for permanent use at this point. I am only suggesting that you set up a new profile as a test. You don't need to set up mail/news at all. Just a new profile and do a quick copy paste in the browser to see if that works. That will tell us whether or not the problem is profile related or if it is the program on your system. Since it is working fine for me on both Mac OS X and Win XP, I don't know where to begin looking for the problem on your setup. If you choose not to do the troubleshooting step, well I guess I can't help you, much though I would like to. Good luck with it anyhow. Lee /snip/ Ok I guess I did misunderstand you and will try the new profile test shortly but thought I would ask this first. I went to about :config and did a search for copy I find that a setting for it reads like this clipboard.autocopy default boolean false is this correct for this setting? I haven't changed anything yet but thought I'd ask about it to see if this could be my problem. Good thought, but mine is set to false as well, and copy/paste works as it always has for me. That's probably not the culprit. Try the test profile and see. If it does work, we can troubleshoot through your existing profile. If not, I'm not sure where we go, but there are a lot of hands here.

I have set up a new mail account (for my personal mail). I would like to transfer some folders (with their messages ) from the original account to the new account, but I haven't a clue as to how to do this. Can someone get me going in the right direction. To locate your profile, the Profile FAQ: http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/ Information about the folders and files within the Profile folder: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_SeaMonkey especially: http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/#transferring_mail regards Martin Martin, you sent me on quite a learning journey with your references. As they say on Star Trek, [I've] gone where [I've] never gone before Unfortunately, this has now raised a number of questions that I didn't have before (probably a good thing). I hope you or others can stay with me to bring this to a conclusion. 1) What's the difference between a Profile and an Account? I have added 2 new accounts (Work Personal) as I've now moved to a new ISP with wireless. I added these using Edit Mail Newsgroup Account Settings. I didn't do anything regarding profiles. Is there more for me to do? A Profile is the entire thing which stores all settings/preferences which you might set by the GUI (concerning Browser and News/Emails etc). It also contains all Email- and Newsgroupaccounts. Every profile may contain as many Email- and Newsgroupaccounts as the user wishes to. You can backup and restore your profile entirely to any Seamonkey 1.1.x installation at any time (at least while SM is closed ;-) ). 2) I have located 2 profile folders : Profile\default\f68gg1hi.slt and Profile\SeaMonkey\snxbxfle.slt the first one has 6 folders: Pop1.sympatico.ca, Pop1.sympatico-1.ca, kingston.net, kingston-1.net, kingston-2.net and Local Folders. I found that Pop1.sympatico.ca refers to my original account and Pop1.sympatico-1.ca refers to my Work account and kingston-2.net refers to my Personal account. I don't know what the remaining 3 folders are for (kingston.net, kingston-1.net, Local Folders). I am particularly confused why one of the new accounts (Work) is named with Sympatico (my original account name), when there is no reference to Sympatico in the Account Settings. Have I done something wrong even though the accounts seem to be working O.K.? Those you don't know about are probably just leftovers from accounts which...um...I don't know what happened to them ;-) (except Local Folders of course). Feel free to test that by removing one folder after another from that profile-directory and starting Seamonkey each time you have removed one. As long as everything is at it's place you're just removing trash and so you can delete that stuff which you have successfully take out and you therefore probably don't need. 3) As I want to transfer only specific folders and their sub-folders to the 2 new accounts, do I just Select Cut the folders files (not .msf) in Pop1.sympatico.ca and Paste them to either Pop1.sympatico-1.ca and kingston-2.net? Yes you can cut and paste the folders (each folder is represented by a file, the one without .msf as you already found out :-) ) to another account. It doesn't matter if this account lies in the same profile or not. (I guess in your case all accounts are in one profile) Easiest way would be to replace the existing inbox etc. in the new account with your old one. Note: If you already have mails in your new account which are not in your old account and therefore should not be lost, you can't replace them but will need to rename inbox etc. from your old account to InboxOld or something like that and paste it to the new account with that new name. Seamonkey will then automatically show those additional Folders in your new account besides the standard folders on the next start. I hope I could help and clarify some things. kind regards Martin Thanks Martin, this should keep me busy over the next few days. I'll report back how things went. Ed Sorry, but I was called away and just returned. I've run into a problem. Please let me know if I need to open a new thread or can I continue with this.

Re: Signature not on forwarded mail

Why? I don't really know, but you are correct, the sig is not attached in either forward mode, as attachment or inline. You could take a look through Bugzilla to see if there is an outstanding bug on this.

Have you tried that? I have the same problem with my upgrade using news.ett.com.ua - and this is a test on news.mozilla.org so if you can read this, then using a new news server does not cause problems which are there for an old news server (pre-upgrade). Reading you just fine. :) I'm not following what you are saying about causing problems, but I understood Gabrielle to have solved her problems by re-creating the accounts and newsgroups she needed, with 2.0... after the migration. Yes, my post was not a model of clear communication. If you're saying mozilla.org worked on your previous version, and also works in 2.0, but ett.com does not, I get it. :) I'm just guessing, but it seems like the varying methods ISPs or news servers use for log in are throwing SM a curve. I did not have mozilla.org set up in the 1.x version. But I added it in 2.0 and it works fine. I did have ett.com set up in the 1.x version, and obviously it worked, but I cannot post in SM 2.0. As I am more of a reader than a poster it's not really a big deal for me. I am using a relay for SMTP and I have a password and Use secure authentication checked. But that is between me and my ISP isn't it. I wish I had the answer, but other than verifying that server settings are correct for each server used, and checking the SMTP settings, I'm at a loss. Have you checked with ett. com for some suggestions? I'm worried about what may happen to me this month, when my ISP makes some changes to my sign on [for security purposes they say]. We are going to have to add our zip code to the sign in. That should be interesting. :( bj ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
