Email problem
All of a sudden today I get a message saying inbox folder is full. I have deleted over 1000 messages, compacted the folder, closed and reopened mail, and restarted the computer. Still get the message inbox full when I try to get mail. Any help appreciated in how to fix this.

Eliminating 'remembered' data
With SeaMonkey 2.06 running under XP-Pro SP3 + all subsequent XP upgrades, I find that with certain websites where I fill in data to use the site I am visiting, SeaMonkey has 'remembered' what I entered the last time I was using that particular website and this previously entered data automatically pops up as I start to fill in the box where the information previously entered. SeaMonkey is not 'remembering' passwords that I enter, however. I am uncomfortable, for security reasons, with SeaMonkey keeping previously entered data somewhere. What part of the program is responsible for this and how do I get the 'remembering' to stop? In case this could be an add-on caused problem, I have Better Privacy, ChatZilla, DOM Inspector, Down Them All, JavaScript Debugger, and NoScript installed. Help! All advice, suggestions, and/or pointers to appropriate tutorials will be most appreciated. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It is packed in the calendar.jar file in your applications chrome

Is that info regarding Lightning or Sunbird? Never used Sunbird, but
there does seem to be some info from when it was the only calendar. Or
only one being documented. ;-)
Since Lightning has replaced Sunbird and the page describes things
in common to both, the transition from Sunbird to Lightning, the
possible interaction between them, and the installation and use of
Lightning it is reasonable to anticipate that these instructions
apply to Lightning (in the absence of any text stating otherwise).
Do you have a reason to believe that these instructions are not
reliable?

Hours to clean-up? That sounds silly. Seconds, minutes, maybe.
More than one person has reported what seems like a memory leak in
the Linux version as well.
It is unclear yet whether it is SM, Flash, or some other plug-in or
associated app but there are odd lags and other problems that seem to
go away when one reboots.
Are these reports being documented and studied in a bug report?
Perhaps it is certain video drivers and not SM at all.

Re: Why so many "up-grades"?
Robert Kaiser wrote: Bill Davidsen schrieb: Robert, I agree with the "should never break" part, but in practice 2.0.7 had major issue for some people and worked poorly or not at all. I didn't have any issue with add-ons, and that is the topic here. The other one was unfortunate and most of those were an older failure existing for multiple version that was just uncovered by a mostly unrelated change. Changes to SM break add-ons from other sites, which were installed to fix a perceived problem in many cases. I haven't heard stories of any 2.0.x updates breaking any add-ons that were marked compatible with 2.0.*, independent of what site they are from. From my testing of 2.1 I would say that a clear spec of how to write conforming extensions, possibly with some trivial example, is desirable. Feel free to write one up, we are an open community. We are trying to write up and maintain documents about the major changes, but we are simply unable to document every single change, and we have to create the actual application with a very small team first, else there simply isn't anything to document. I'm not talking about a change log, I'm talking about documenting the API. If I write code for any UNIX-like OS I have a list of system calls, provided by the kernel, and as Bill Plauger said "A standard is a contract between the operating system and the user." If I write in C I have a library, and those calls may be extended but will not change under me. Same thing for GNOME, X11, and KDE (and I'm told Windows starting with Win95). There seems to be no API for any Mozilla software, which is why every theme, add-on, and extension needs to change with every version. It appears that is the chosen development model, I wish you well with it. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Revised questions Re: prefs.js / user.js problems

Up until ~4 years ago I was doing some informal support for two visually impaired naive users at church. I set my system up to emulate the features they typically had problems with. 3. I have some ideas about what makes a page legible, primarily use black text on white background wherever possible. So I set many things up to override the page designers choices. 4. My system is WinXP Pro SP3. I have no idea (nor really care) how IE was configured by my vendor. I use it *ONLY* to access MS update site. The problem Cruddy conflicting settings have been inherited which prevent some pages from displaying properly. The most annoying problem is that menus appearing when you hover over a link have a transparent background making it illegible (text overwriting text). The pages display properly in a Firefox installation to which I have access. This symptom has was apparently solved during update from SeaMonkey 1.x to 2.y. One of the pages I've read mentioned that some problems are cleaned up by the migration from ver 1 to 2. Questions 1. I'm about to upgrade from Seamonkey 2.0.5. I wish to leave all of my existing profiles *UNTOUCHED*. I want my updated SeaMonkey to act as if it was first browser ever installed. HOW? NoOp straitened me out on this issue. Short answer - install to new directory *AND* create a new profile by launching with profile manager option. 2. Where are all the options in prefs.js / user.js documented? open 3. Is there anything in prefs.js that cannot be forced to a preferred state by a line in user.js. open - I suspect this may be important as I do some abnormal things. 4. Since I'm obviously out of date should I be learning about style sheets? If so, what?
