Hi Martin,

Thanks, but I want to export the address book TO SeaMonkey's address
book. It is now free-standing in text format, and its tools do not
include export. Dragging does not help. This all occurred when a
computer tech converted my buggy Vista to XP Pro. All my many old
addresses are in text form, while the SeaMonkey address book has only
recent ones in hierarchical form.


If the file was created with SeaMonkey address export, you just use the
import tool to pull it in. Other than that, if it's small you start
typing address cards. If it's big you write a perl script to convert the
format you have to the format you want. Don't know perl or other
suitable language? Make a friend, you make too many mistakes doing it by
hand.


Hi,

Using the import tool did not work. I'll have to go the perl script 
route.  Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the info, now the next question is why it works for anyone

Bug 484656 comment 18 suggests that only people with a

account with such a pref and I don't know which action would create it.


The first part is easy, you get that when you have an account and the mail 
server you have been using is shut down and the service moves to another 
machine. So you have an account named My.Org and the server name is mail.my.org 
and it works. Then that server is shut down and you now get mail from 
inbound4.my.org instead. Your email address is still j...@mail.my.org, but the 
actual server name changes. I find I had two accounts like that since you told 
me what to look for. I think I just changed the name of the server, it has 
changed three time since the account was new, I have traces of 'gatekeeper', 
'pvt-gate' (private network NIC of mailgate1), and realname now points to 
mailgate2. Odd, but nothing that doesn't happen in an organization.


That's how it happens. How it would happen on a new account on a non-migrated 
SM-2.0 I can not clarify.


Is there any doc on all those config fields, particularly those which only 
appear when you know they exist? Would make submitting a useful bug report 
easier, and source is not really a great resource, even if you know how to read 
it, it takes time.

Eternal-September is working for me on Port 119, but it DOES require
authentication, so on the server settings page for that news account, I
have checked the box to always request authentication.

Are you saying you are using another port for ES which does not require
authentication?



It seems possible that the lack of a demand for auth:
 480 authentication required
may somehow confuse SM, although I don't quite see how.

Does this extra information give anyone a clue?



I'm confused why your connections would not require authentication the
same as mine.  Maybe if we determine that, we'll stumble on the answer
you need.  :)


Yours don't need authentication, either. ES will allow you to connect 
and read
the motzarella.* and ES.* groups just fine w/o auth. Auth is needed to 
access

other groups on the servers.



That's strange, because these [below] were the instructions I received 
by e-mail, after I wrote them about my connection problems after the 
changeover from Motzarella.  These instructions cleared up my problem:


It will connect with or without auth (but not with invalid auth, clearly). If 
you connect and don't offer auth, you can read and post to the subset of groups 
mozzarella.*, eternal-september.*, and possenet.* (no idea what that is). If you 
get a valid account and offer the credentials you will then see all the 
available groups.


You were offering invalid credentials or valid credentials in an invalid way, 
resulting in denial. If your passwords were in password manager I think they 
would no longer be found when the host name changed, so you would have needed to 
(a) check always offer credentials, and (b) put them in by hand.


You can easily validate non-auth operation:
  telnet news.eternal-september.org nntp
  {200 message}
  list
  {guest groups list here}
  quit

To authenticate, the commands are
  authinfo user {account}
  authinfp pass {password}

 type those before 'list' and you will get the full list.


" I can't sign up for a new account, because it says I have an existing
 account."

That was to be expected. You may continue to use your existing
user name and password.

"When I tried just changing my Motzarella address to
 eternal-september... nothing happens.

 What am I doing wrong about this transition?  Thank you"


Please create a new account/server in your *client*, using the
new server name "news.eternal-september.org" and your existing
user name and password. *Please don't forget to set*:

[X] Always authenticate (wording depends on your newsreader)


As mentioned before, this solved my problems.

Can someone post these instructions upgraded for SM 2.0 which installs
in a different directory in Windows 7.  I found and copied all the files
to the right places, but what is the Win7 equivalent for regxpcom?


For that matter, is there a more generic way to trick desktop search
programs into scanning Seamonkey e-mails?

I was thinking about installing a copy of Thunderbird (which is supposed
to be supported, for instance, by Copernic) and hacking its
configuration files so that they would point to the Seamonkey profile.
Of course, I would *never* run this copy of T-Bird to avoid issues...

Has anybody done something similar, or should I try and pioneer this
approach?



Actually, I've discovered that GDS IS indexing my SeaMonkey e-mails 
since re-installing GDS after installing SM 2.0   The only problem is, 
I've run into that common GDS problem of the files being truncated when 
I find them via searching.  The files are found, but then you have to 
open them within SeaMonkey to see all of them.  Seems to be a problem 
many GDS users have had over the years, and Google doesn't offer any 
real solutions.  A bit of a pain.

For that matter, is there a more generic way to trick desktop search
programs into scanning Seamonkey e-mails?

I was thinking about installing a copy of Thunderbird (which is supposed
to be supported, for instance, by Copernic) and hacking its
configuration files so that they would point to the Seamonkey profile.
Of course, I would *never* run this copy of T-Bird to avoid issues...

Has anybody done something similar, or should I try and pioneer this
approach?

Make sure you don't have quick launch enabled. Files that are in use 
can not be defragmented. This may not be the problem, but the first 
thought I had.

You could try defragmenting each of these one at a time using the Contig

After that you may try running defrag on the whole volume again.

Hi Martin,

Thanks, but I want to export the address book TO SeaMonkey's address

SeaMonkey is a suite of applications.  One of the applications is
Composer, which can be used to create Web pages.  When you go to [File >
Edit] on the menu bar, the page opens in Composer.

Firefox is a stand-alone browser.  Composer is not part of it.

There are many pages that attempt to block copying.  Almost always, that
is done through JavaScript.  I have the PrefBar exension installed, on
which I setup a checkbox to enable and disable JavaScript.  When I want
to copy from a page that blocks copying, I merely uncheck the box.  I
have yet to encounter a situation where this does not work.

Not at all. In fact, I do something similar. I use my e-mail as a sort of
brain trust. I have a folder hierarchy for things I don't want to forget.
How-tos, instructions, tidbits of knowledge, etc. It's all organized
into various mailboxes within mail folders.

To remember how I set up and configured software on my various computers,
I use files in a special directory under my home directory. I keep track
of exactly what I did to install/configure each piece of software.

It can be a problem as I tweak things later, as I have to remember to go
back and update the "instructions", but all-in-all it's been working for
me.

Best of luck.

I just tested it and browser.tabs.loadInBackground value is toggled when

Yes, it sounds like your approach was more 'in-depth' than mine, which was
of a more experimental nature in the vein of "I can, therefore I will"

As to your original statement note that I said "had shared". :-)

Yesterday morning, after I had written this, I bit the bullet so to speak
and went into prefs.js and pointed SM 2.0's bookmarks location
to my latest SM 1.1.x bookmarks file.  Worked great, less filling -- the
personal toolbar of a hundred or so bookmarks automagically repopulated.



Otherwise, I am stymied on the outgoing server properties, I have a
feeling it is ATT-Yahoo's servers now...
I have tried the known fixes and a couple of permutations to no avail.

IOW, in SM 2.0 I can receive like gangbusters, but can not send a
thing


I just used OE 5.0 (yuk!) in a virtual machine to send email after SM 1.0.
(no kidding, release January, 2006)in that machine failed on send.

Surely you have Internet Explorer. Well, I guess, we can argue the
meaning of "working browser". ;)

You might want to install Firefox as a backup. I always keep it handy,
just in case.

Remind me what version of Windows you are running. So far, I've got it
up on XP SP3 with no issues. However, the difference in our experiences
is that I have not tried installing it without an existing profile from
which to transfer. I'll give a whirl and see what I discover.

FWIW, I had a similar experience to David Ross: with Win XP Home Edition 
SP3 using SeaMonkey 1.1.18, I did what I've always done with upgrades, I 
uninstalled SM but did NOT touch my profile.


On installing SM 2.0, it didn't pick up my profile, nor did the 
installation prompt me to go look for anything.




Could the problem here be that you un-installed SM 1.1.18 so there was 
no mention of SM in the Registry, so when you installed SM 2.0, it 
didn't go looking for a profile because the registry was suggesting that 
SM had not been on the machine before!!


Maybe!

Daniel

It opened normally as the final step to installation but set up its own 
"default" profile.  When I closed it, and tried to re-open, I 
experienced the same "already running" error as reported by David R.


So I uninstalled SM 2.0 -- then re-installed 1.1.18 -- made sure it was 
running normally with mail/bookmarks/dictionary blah blah -- then 
contrary to my usual practice, I installed 2.0 "in overlay".


The installation process included the prompt/s for importing profile 
details... and it's running like a dream.


Thanks.  Mebbe some of us are being too cautious!

Isn't that just the setting which is available in the GUI in the

I'm subscribed to a feed in the SM 2.0 RSS reader. The link to the

focus at the time.
I've already set my tab browsing preferences to open links in new tabs 
(from other applications as well as for new windows).

No, it's *Bug 517307* 
 - Some tabs opened 
in background from middle clicks still focus the browser
which is a setting recently-developed by Neil and others, to enable 
users to read through RSS-newsfeeds in "Blogs and News-Feeds", 
middle-clicking on the more-interesting RSS header-URLs, and have them 
open-in a group of unraised-browser-background-tabs, that you can later 
read at your leisure, or if they are real-interesting, you could 
archive/save them as a group-of-tabs, under Bookmarks.
Without that setting, the OP gets their RSS-header-link opened in the 
currently-focused-tab, but with that setting, the feeds will open in a 
new-tab for each header-link that they click-on.
Coincidentally, when reading through long browser web-pages, one can 
middle-click on interesting-links and have them open in background-tabs 
for later-perusal, while you continue reading the full page.

If I just installed the SM2 browser component, could I continue using
the rest of my SM1.18 apps, Without losing access to my old 1.18
profiles? Or is this a really bad idea? (:
You can install SM2 safely to a folder like Seamonkey2 besides your old 
SM1.1.x
SM2 migrates your profile data to a _new_ profile in another directory. 
So you can use any Seamonkey at any time. Just make sure to add the 
-no-remote  parameter in the shortcut to SM2 if you need to start/run 
both Seamonkeys at the same time.

Thank you Martin!
Will do.

Re: ANOTHER QUESTION - can folders be transferred to a new account?

So...now that I have my new ISP account mail set up and will soon dump
my old ISP account, is there some way I can transfer all the folders

I have a Butt Load of E-Mails in those folders that I need to access
for the new ISP's account.



Just rename the folders in the old account and then copy it to your new 
one (while SM is closed!). On next start SM will automatically intgrate 
them.




And where is "word Wrap" set up when you start a new account?

The new account's E-Mail runs off the right side edge of my 19" LCD flat
screen when I read it. Strange. I have to re-invent the wheel.

I would have thought that whatever had been set up in the old account
would now be defaulted over to the new one.


This is a setting which you can change in the preferences under 
Mail&Newsgroups, so not for each email-account seperately.

Re: Lost address book

I read your post reply, and tried to do what you suggested. I did not
find an export tool in SeaMonkey 2.0, nor in the text version of my old
address book, which I am trying to get incorporated into my address book
from SM 2.Please let me know how I can find the export tool.

First open the addressbook in SM and then have a look in the tools menu. ;-)
