How to set up a Newsgroup Subscription
I've been trying and trying to get a newsgroup reader, so as to have access to various other functions (blocking messages by certain obnoxious (or insane) users being one of those functions) that Google Groups doesn't seem to provide. I found and downloaded both Thunderbird and Seamonkey... and I can't figure out how to set up the newsreader to pick up the newsgroup. I've looked through the help files and FAQ's, and... nuthin'. The error message I keep getting when I click the 'Manage my subscriptions' link is thus; Failed to connect to server alt.religion.wicca. I know it can be done, as others tap into the newsgroup with other newsreaders. I'm just technotarded enough that I can't figure it out. Any help would be hot.

Advanced E-mail Searching
Looking at the Thunderbird 3.x screen shots it looks like they have added some advanced e-mail searching capabilities to it. I don't see anything like that yet in SM2.x. Are there plans to pull those search capabilities into a future version of SM? When? Are there good e-mail search enhancements plug ins out for SM 2.x that I should look at? One of the biggest things keeping my from finally ditching Eudora as my primary e-mail source for SM is the amazing search capabilities in Eudora verses the lacking search abilities in SM and Thunderbird 2.x (I have no experience with Thunderbird 3.x). I was holding out for Eudora 8.x but three years into the project they are still don't have a 1.0 release. Given this I'm wondering if Seamonkey will have any relief in sight. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Those features have not changed since SM1.x days and are similar to thunderbird 2.x. Thunderbird 3 touted a totally redesigned and improved search capability. I have not yet been able to try them. I am looking for more complex search with more control over multiple keywords, folders searched, relevance, areas of e-mail to search etc. Eudora had all this ability, seamonkey does not. when your looking though over 10 years of e-mail from several addresses and companies the existing tools are not complex enough for me right now. Looking here http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/features/#tabs-search and other places I have looked makes it look like Thunderbird has some more advanced features they rolled in. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

If it's less than a handful, the most efficient use of the OP's time would be to do it manually; he'd be done already. If we're talking about capturing a hundred names and addresses, there must be more efficient ways. For a clumsy example, he could copy/paste the names and addresses en bloc from the message header, use MS Word's word processing features to parse and format them into a table (e.g., a comma marks the end of each record, convert to paragraph mark), paste the table into Excel and export that as a csv file, which he could then import into SM as an address book. From there it's a simple drag and drop operation to make a list. I'm sure there are more efficient ways of doing it. But this will capture a few hundred names in less than 10 minutes. Sure would be great if we had a built-in feature in our email program. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

Let us know if you've completed the SM new account process with the news server address and port 119, etc. and we can go from there. Don't give up. :) bj I am to that point, in fact, that's how I got to here. the next step for me was to click the 'Automatically request authentication' box.

The next box pops up, for the password, and I cut/paste that as well, so make sure I get it right. That's when it gives me the error Invalid Credentials. Now, I DID just recently download Greasemonkey and installed a user script for Google Groups that allows one to ignore users and the like, so, at least in the interim, I don't have to put up with the loony I was looking to avoid, but I would still like to get SM up and running properly. It's a pretty nifty all-in-one program... I like it. It reminds me of older programs... kinda endears me to it. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
