I've seen a few cases where a spoof of the form "SeaMonkey x, NOT
Firefox y" did not work but where omitting any mention of SeaMonkey did
work.

I've updated the page accordingly.  Thanks.

Sorry meant for this to go to the users group:

Please be aware that many add-ons may not work w/2.1x.

On linux (not tested on Windows):

xsidebar requires:
http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/installation.html#unstable
http://downloads.mozdev.org/xsidebar/xsidebar-1.unstable.xpi

ChatZilla needs a new install via:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/16/
[thanks Gijs Kruitbosch for fixing]

Lightning requires:
1.1a1pre
There is of course a side effect; once you've installed the lightning
1.1a1pre you lose the 1.0b1 when you fire SeaMonkey 2.0.5 back up & your
old calendars do not work.
See:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1248265
for workarounds. I advise backing up *all* of your mozilla profiles, and
if possible use a test profile w/2.1.

Prefbar works (as always). As does flash and java.

Addons that I've found that do not (with the exeptions noted above that
require new versions):

Adblock Plus (1.2)
SQLite Manager (0.5.15)
Moonlight (2.99.0.6)

Not sure about "manipulated as a file" but you could install a virtual
PDF printer (such as http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ ) and
then print the entire email to a pdf. Of course that would include the
entire email w/headers, so probably not the best solution.

I have mine set to open the browser but it checks my emails and a small
envelope appears in the right lower toolbar and if I click on the email
on the left side it then will open my email page. I think it also has to
do as how each account is set up to be checked and downloaded.

Here's the thing: Gmail does not really work in accordance to the POP3
and IMAP4 protocols. It does its own thing, and kinda "simulates" POP
and IMAP.
Part of "doing its own thing" is that Gmail does not like deleting
stuff. When you think you have deleted it from the IMAP interface, it
actually "archives" it.
Some things are possible only from the Web interface. I strongly suspect
that really-deleting messages is one of them.

I think that instead you'd want to add:
general.useragent.extra.firefox
and set the string accordingly.

However I ran across a site this weekend that didn't accept even that.
So I ended up putting this in the string instead:
Firefox/3.6.3 (NOT - it's  really SeaMonkey! Stop browser sniffing)

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US;
rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 Firefox/3.6.3 (NOT - it's  really SeaMonkey!
Stop browser sniffing) Lightning/1.0b1 SeaMonkey/2.0.4

That worked. Site is here:
http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx


Note that for some reason that site sniffed for Firefox directly _after_
the Gecko string and wouldn't accept the standard:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9)
Gecko/20100317 SeaMonkey/2.0.4 NOT Firefox/3.6.3

type string. You can test it for yourself from the link above.

That's because Profile Migration is only triggered automatically if the

1. No SM >= 2.0 profiles have been created yet.
2. registry.dat from SM < 2.0 is found.

Cf. 


This created a whole new set of problems. I ended up losing all my

not find any instructions how to import them otherwise such as exist for

Strange, copying signons.sqlite should be all that's needed. If you use 
a Master Password (which as I understand you don't) you also need to 
copy the file key3.db. AFAIK the signons3.txt file is obsolete.

Marisa Ciceran wrote:

When I go to Start/Programs menu/SeaMonkey/Profile Manager, the link
goes to the browser instead of the Profile Manager. Even when I create a
shortcut using the -profileManager or -P extensions, it does the same

As I already explained in my reply to Smiles, with SeaMonkey 2.0 and 
later you need to add "-no-remote" *in addition to* "-P" in order to 
launch the Profile Manager while another instance of SeaMonkey is 
already running.



The only way I am able to open the Profile Manager is in the
Browser/Tools/Change Profile menu. Even this, however, is not
malfunctionaly. The Select User Profile window opens, and shows the
default user, but when I click on "open profile", nothing happens.


Well, I would have expected some kind of error message but basically 
it's correct that you cannot select the profile you are already using 
(and it must be that one as long as only one is listed!). Remember, 
"Switch Profile" (which is the actual name of the menu item) is for 
switching to *another* profile!



I then went to the option "Manage Profiles" and created a new profile and
selected the folder in which to place it. Back to the "Manage User
Profiles", there are now TWO profiles listed, neither of which will open
with the "Use Profile" button. Although the "rename" button opens the
correct window and accepts what I type it, no rename occurs, and neither
profile can be deleted.


It's correct that another profile appeared. If you chose the same 
profile folder as for the currently active profile then it's even 
expected that the second profile didn't work either.



The Profile Manager appears to be corrupted, but unistalling and
reinstalling 2.0.4 has not corrected this problem. Can anyone help me?


Un-/Reinstalling SeaMonkey won't solve your problem.

Does the Profile Manager appear if SeaMonkey is *not* running while you 
use the Profile Manager shortcut? If yes: See my first sentence above.


If not you should search your hard drive for a file called profiles.ini 
inside a folder called SeaMonkey. If you rename that file you can start 
over (use the Profile Manager to locate your existing profile).

Gmail, filters and archives (All Mail)

[Stanimir Stamenkov]

I've recently subscribed to a mailing list using my Gmail account 
address.  I've configured Gmail using IMAP in SeaMonkey and I've 
setup a filter so any messages sent to the list get moved to a local 
folder (which has a limited time retention policy).  I don't really 
want these messages kept on the server but I've noticed they don't 
quite get deleted after being moved to a local folder.  They can 
still be accessed through the "All Mail" archives folder and I need 
to manually select them in there, delete (move to the "Trash" 
folder) and then empty the trash to get rid of them completely off 
the server.  Deleting them bypassing the "Trash" folder using 
Shift+Delete also doesn't seem to remove them from the server - they 
reappear after I navigate back and forth to the "All Mail" folder.


So my question is whether I can setup a filter which gets rid of the 
messages from the Gmail server completely after they get moved to a 
local folder?

It does make sense to be asked for the master password if you launch the 
Mail UI first. Not my case.


Personally, I only launch the Browser interface and open only later the 
Mail UI when I need it.




"Ask for Master on first requirement only" got broken somehow back in 
the 1.1.x series (sometime between 1.1.16 and 1.1.17, I think...I'm not 
sure exactly when).  I launch SM with Browser only, and I have SM Mail 
set up not to look for new messages unless I do it manually - that's the 
way I've been set up for a few years, and it used to work like the 
dialog said...but now...


I don't get the request for my Master on startup or on opening SM Mail, 
but I do get it at seemingly random times.  Both with 1.1.19 and 
2.0.4...most frustrating is when I'm in the middle of a download - SM 
just freezes and I can't enter anything...I have to Force Quit SM and 
relaunch.

Of note:


By the end of 2009, the report said, Oracle left 38 percent of such
flaws without patches, Google 25 percent and Apple 22 percent.
Hewlett-Packard, Adobe Systems, Cisco Systems and Mozilla failed to
provide patches for just 5 percent or less of what it called "their
critical and high vulnerabilities."



Shows Mozilla at zero... Well done Mozilla! :-)

Thank you in advance. :)


See bug #463826 at
.  I originally
submitted this bug report almost two years ago.  You commented on it
four days later.

The link to this bug and (more important)
  should be
included in any communication to NBC about this problem.

As I noted in the bug report, I have a dial-up connection and thus do
not view videos via the Internet.  I reported this bug only as an
accommodation to someone who does not have a bugzilla.mozilla.org
account and who encountered the problem.


Wow, NBC still hasn't fixed the issues. :(

IMHO, the master password should not be requested before it is *really*

Am I oversimplifying things?


I have SM set-up to open in the Mail & Newsgroup pageand the first
thing it then goes and does is get my mail, which requires my mail
account password.which would require my entering my master password,
if I used one.

So I'm guessing all those who open into just the Mail & Newsgroup screen
or into the Browser Screen AND the Mail & Newsgroup screens would have
the same situation.

Not sure about a "Browser Only" set-up!

It does make sense to be asked for the master password if you launch the 
Mail UI first. Not my case.


Personally, I only launch the Browser interface and open only later the 
Mail UI when I need it.

I understand. The situation, at least in my observation, is that if the
list-email poster chose "Reply" to a post, it would thread correctly,
but some of them seem to choose "Write" or "Compose" instead, thus
wiping out the Reference-IDs.

It's a sticky business...   :-)

Thank you,


Sorry, I should have mentioned I am running under Windows 7 Home Edition
(64)


The general answer is "No, this is not possible, because the SeaMonkey 
Browser function is part of the same program as the SeaMonkey Mail and 
News function."


If you like the SeaMonkey Mail & News function, try Mozilla Thunderbird. 
It's basically the same as SeaMonkey Mail and News, but does not have a 
Browser so you could then use Firefox as your browser.

Beauregard, this is a situation caused by posting from the "lists" (or 
whatever) version of getting the posts on this server. It has always 
been a problem with OP's new posts not linking to the original thread.
