If this is not your problem, can you have another go at explaining it?? Hi Daniel, I'm running the latest SeaMonkey and Windows XP Pro. My e-mail section has a personal address book and a collected address book. Suddenly, without warning, when I turn on SeaMonkey and then click on the e-mail icon, I get an on-screen announcement Cannot download personal address book abook.mab. It is either write only, or is tied up by another program. The personal address book bar is absent. Searching for the abook.mab gives no answers. Now, many of my e-mail addresses are in the collected list, but not all. Some cannot be retrieved from old e-mails because many of those were deleted. I searched on line for this malady, and found many posts from people who have the problem. However, every suggestion of how to fix it was followed by posts that the fix did not work. I have antivirus, antispyware, and a firewall. Where did the missing file go? Why? Mostly, how can I get it back? Thanks a lot. Mort O.K., Mort, lets try a few things! First have a look at Edit-MailNewsgroup Account Settings, select Server Settings on your email account. At the bottom of this screen is the Local Directory location, where SeaMonkey is looking for your profile. Note down this location. Next, close out of SeaMonkey, including the Quick Launch feature if you use it. Wait a minute or so, (just to make sure SM has closed) then give the three finger salute, Ctrl-Alt-Del, and ensure SeaMonkey is not still listed in the running processes. Now, ensure Windows is set to display all sub-folders and then go to the location you noted in the first step. your address book, abook.mab, should be in a sub-folder. Locate it, right click on it and check out the properties to ensure it is not marked as Read Only. Report back. Hi Daniel, SUCCESS, THANKS. Thanks for the wonderful help. I did find the Local Directory location, but the right ending was off the screen, so I had to hunt for it. I did find the abook.ABM file, and it was not marked read only. It has 500 KB, so it could have all my e-mail addresses in it. I then shut down SeaMonkey, waited a few minutes, and the 3-finger salute gave a blank, so SM was not running. When I clicked on open, the address book opened on-screen as a text message, not as an hierarchical list. However, when I returned to e-mail and clicked on address book, there it was in all its glory, just where it is supposed to be. I am so happy that I did not lose all my addresses., and I'm most grateful to you. It's a particularly trying time for me, as my dear wife just passed away 3 days ago, and I'm still trying to e-mail friends and family. Now I can do so. Thanks again, and please excuse the lengthy post. Regards, Mort P.S. Now my collected addresses have all disappeared. I'd rather have the Personal addresses, which I do.

[SOLVED] Re: Image pasted into a mail
Ray_Net wrote: I have an image in the clipboard ... and i wrote a mail with: See my picture !! (then here i do a paste from the clipboard) The result is: See my picture !! *---* | | | here is the image | | | *---* The result is ok for me, but my recipient having Lotus Notes as mail received: See my picture !! *-* | | - just an empty square *-* I have goggled and discovered that embedded .png file into an HTML document cannot be rendered with Lotus Notes. How can i create an embedded picture in a mail for my recipient who is using Lotus Notes ? Thanks for all who reacted on this post giving ideas, consels, etc ... The following is to be done because Lotus Notes mail did not recognise a /png image before version 8.5. With about:config change clipboard.paste_image_type integer value 2 instead of 1 - this action will permit for the image inclusion in the middle of a mail(inclusion by a paste ctrl-v action) to be a type /jpeg instead of the default /png.

I'm having similar issues on a Windows installation of Seamonkey. I started seeing it after I upgraded to 2.0.x. It seems to happen less frequently than it used to, and I don't have it as frequently under Windows 7 as the report here is for running under Ubuntu. For me, the problem area is with a POP account. The first level folder is one titled z-forums-traffic, and the folders contained there are nearly all targets of rules. One thing that I did test is that when the top-level folder's name is shown in boldface, noting that at least one sub-folder has a new message, use of the n command for next unread folder won't force the container open -- it does require a restart of Seamonkey. I posted a question about this back in April Folders handling in SM2, but never got any response. I did note in a follow-up that I see a lot less of the problem following SM 2.0.4, but it still turns up occasionally, although for me, it's something that happens infrequently enough that it's an annoyance I can live with. I haven't checked this behavior on my Ubuntu box. Smith ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I haven't checked this behavior on my Ubuntu box. Smith I'll add my me too to this thread. I have an archive of lots of email stored under Local Folders. The tree under this that I have trouble with has 50-60 subfolders. Some of those have additional subfolders in a tree like: Local Folders Archive work1 projectA projectB issue1 issue2 projectC issue1 issue2 issue3 etc. The list is quite long. Sometimes folders at the projectA level won't open to show anything below them. It usually shows up with some of the folders at the projectA level open fine, but below some level in the list, they all fail to open up. For instance, projectA through projectG open fine, but projectH and below won't open. The triangular handle is present for all folders that have subfolders, but some just won't open. If I double click on a folder that won't open, I get a new mail/news window where they do open up. Then I can close the window where they wouldn't open. You don't have to restart Seamonkey. You can probably double click on any folder, but I'm usually pointing at one that won't open so I double click there. To conclude, this problem isn't specific to POP or IMAP mail. It's showing up in Local Folders as well. Gordon Weast ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
