I installed 2.1 over my old 2.0.14 with no problem except the problems
with add-ons that have been discussed in this newsgroup. 2.2 final is
supposed to be coming on Tuesday so you cold wait for that or for the
2.0 to 2.2 update. Here's what he said:

Justin Wood (Callek)replied:

We do plan to offer a 2.0->2.2 update within the next 2 weeks, with our
2.2 release actually happening Tuesday, which has very few changes (in
SeaMonkey alone) compared to 2.1.



Noticed slight issues with build1 of 2.2, nothing major but delays us by 
at most a day (probably around this time tomorrow I can ship 2.2)

I asked about FF & iNotes at work.  Dunno if this is any help, but the
answer I got was

FF 4.0 came out 2 days before the 8.5.2 version was released. It is
not supported as they removed Remote XUL from FF and iNotes used that
feature to make FF look the same as IE.

You need to use FF 3.6x until we apply a hotfix IBM has for FF 4.0

So if you can figure out which version of SM corresponds to FF3.6.x or
get your Notes staff to apply a hotfix you might be back in business

...so, volunteer. It sounds like you've got more interest in seeing this
happen than everyone else here put together. So, DO IT. We've got all
sorts of faith in _your_ abilities. ;) -JW


I had a bit of an inspiration regarding this discussion.

In the end, it all hinges in different definitions of "Mozilla,"
"Browser," "Mozilla product", "Seamonkey" and such.

Most of us here define those things from the inside out. Rufus looks at
the surface only.

- We consider a product a browser only if it has its own browser engine.
- Rufus does not care about browser engine; he makes no distinction
between browser and shells.

- We consider something a "Mozilla product" only if its built on Mozilla
technology.
- Rufus considers something a "Mozilla product" if it has the
appropriate name slapped on top.

- We look at the Mozilla project and see the underlying technology.
- Rufus looks at it and sees product branding.

- We define Seamonkey at least in part through its genealogy and
evolution, that is, as the successor to the Mozilla suite and Netscape.
- Rufus looks at it and see a browser and an e-mail client tacked together.

By *our* definitions, it's impossible to make a iOS version of
Seamonkey, because we can't use the most essential piece of the Mozilla
technology, that is, the Gecko engine. Without Gecko, it's no longer
Seamonkey, period.

By *his* definition, only the surface matters, so it should be possible
to build an entirely new, superficially similar but technologically
incompatible product and slap the "Seamonkey" label on top.

And yes, it might be possible to build such a browser-plus-email combo
for iOS, building on top of the native Webkit. Only this would bear no
resemblance to a Mozilla or Seamonkey product, on several levels. Even
the surface (the user interface) would necessarily be different from the
desktop product; touch-and-physics interface in a small screen is
fundamentally different from point-and-click in a big screen. Look at
how little the Mobile Firefox UI resembles the desktop Firefox UI.

Some other team might be interested in doing such a project. From what I
have gathered here, nobody at the Seamonkey team is.



Very, very close...I only added "branding" to the discussion because 
this is a business venture of sorts IMO, but I really meant something a 
bit deeper than that - User Experience.


What I really meant to get across was a POV from a strictly *user* 
standpoint.  Someone once mentioned that the team is short on member UE 
background, and now I can see that in action.  But you got me right - 
"nuts and bolts" vs the user experience of, and interaction with, the 
product.  The user experience *is* the product from the user POV, and 
why the user *keeps* using the product...not what the user can't see. 
That was/is my point.


And that's the where, what, and why of why I've been talking in terms of 
"feature set" and "functionality" - as a user, as long as it looks, 
behaves, and feels like SM and comes from the same team it *is* SM no 
matter what technology or code it is based upon and that the user can't 
see, touch...or even understand the details of in most cases - including 
my own.  Maintain a user interface and feature set, and to a *user* it's 
still the same product - even if the code changes or technical platform 
limitations are encountered as with iCab and Opera Mobile.


But I get where the team is coming from now that the *true* actualities 
and philosophies behind the "impossible" stance have surfaced - I 
personally don't accept that much of anything is "impossible"...it's 
just not how I live.  Still...I'm glad at least *somebody* gets the gist 
of my philosophy.


There *won't* be an iOS version of SM, and at this point I'm not even 
sure one would be useful given my growing familiarity with the iOS whole 
screen interface; which is another seed I've tried to plant as a 
generality for people to just plain think about no matter what they are 
developing.  That general interface approach is coming fast, and I for 
one am still a bit puzzled by it...can't say I like it much.


Anyway, what I really wanted out of such a *new* SM product for iOS was 
it's usnet reader - I've since found one (NewsTap - the only one for iOS 
presently, so a market is out there) and it's actually pretty nicely 
featured.  Personally, I'd have zero problem *paying* the SM team or 
anyone 99 cents - or more - for such an app...if it

Well the discussion on that page seems to deal with a related, and much

by Lee and slicer point the finger of blame at the big bad provider.
But nevertheless because it is happening in SM and TB, both being

Well mr? Slicer, I don't think that your impression can be correct,
because re trying after one or two minutes usually results in a
successful send and then the problem will re occur in another five
or ten minutes. That kind of timing doesn't fit a pattern of
the e-mail system being offline for periodic maintenance.

greatly appreciated. We all have to step back now and again. But your
work as project leader leaves SeaMonkey well established to go forward.
Thank you Robert.


Same here... another long time reader of this ng and SM user, who
greatly appreciates Robert's contribution to the continuation of SM, and
helping all of us along the way.

Hope you don't stay too far away, Robert. :)
bj


2nd that, I have disagreed with Robert at times, but never doubted his
efforts represented his best solution to whatever problem was at hand,
and were not chosen to be the least work, other than when even the least
work was a strain on resources.



... well, how much did you pay  for it???

You don't need to. The automated update is quite automatic. If you don't
want automatic updates you could set so (Preferences / Advanced /
Software Installation) - you'll still be able to check manually for
updates (Help -> Check for Updates) and have the update happening by a
single confirmation button click.


Oh sure... The update process may get to be smoothly automated.
But that's not the problem.
Every new version release brings with it a new bag of bugs.
Hopefully some old bugs squashed but always some new bugs show up.
A version release is a progression from a beta to a gamma error
testing phase. Now a whole new population begins to try using
the program. These are, by the way, not your gung-ho beta testers
or early adopters who needed some feature of the new release.

New features are 'nice', but I'd rather see a stable version
and a follow-up series of bug patching and minor cosmetic
repairs.

Well few things
* You don't have to, there is preferences to change this
* It is ---highly--- recommended
* It is required if you want to stay up to date on security updates, 
there will be no more 2.1 updates. (And only a 2.2.x update if there is 
a chemspill type of release)
* The updates will be quite simple overall, there is the potential for 
some addons to be marked incompat, we will in the next few weeks be 
tackling trying to ready a system like Firefox is doing to try and 
mitigate these addon issues. Along with addon-dev outreach.


Also of note, SeaMonkey specific changes in 2.3 vs 2.2 are near-0, due 
to the timing of us joing the "rapid-release-train". The changes you 
would see are either Gecko-Specific features (website/platform side) and 
addon incompats that should hopefully be updated in good time.

Well you might. . .  .
But you know that the future is uncertain.
I wouldn't try to guess how long the 2.x sequence might be,
perhaps 2.(3,4,5 ... 20), or perhaps they'll re-name the release
right after 2.3 as some 3.x :) . Or perhaps they'll be conservative
in the version numbering race, but do something like a massive
bug extermination and other clean up at some 2.x level.
Would you then wait for a 3.0 labeled version?

Lion will absolutely kill Classic and PPC code.
Intel only and Universal Binary work fine.



Yes...something I have/maintain is a ton of 3D animation content (which

that content will still work, their installers are probably not going to

Applications may not work as they should.



One thing you can do to get a read is open System Profiler, select 
"Applications" and sort on Kind - that will tell you exactly what you 
have, system wide on all connected disks.  Then you can segregate your 
non-Intel stuff from the rest if you want to go that way.


But I also worry about this new "full screen" interface...after the 
taste of it I've had on my iPad I can see that seriously affecting my 
workflow, and my application selection choices.  So clean slate with a 
new machine may be my best option forward.  I've got too many machines

the issue of using SSDs, too - to make up speed.  We use WDE at work, 
and it's a PITA.

Unable to authenticate to SMTP ?? #@?

2011-07-05 Thread Rostyslaw Lewyckyj

I'm using SM 2.0.14 .
For this account according to the account settings:
 - I am connecting to pop.att.yahoo.net:995  .
 - The outgoing server (SMTP) is
urj...@bellsouth.net - smtp.att.y...
(I'm guessing that's smtp.att.yahoo.net . But the
box for entering the entry doesn't scroll. So I can
not verify the name)
 - Connection security is  SSL/TLS
 and the check box for 'Use secure authentication' is unchecked

[By the way, the account editing window can not be re-sized.
For server settings, it is too narrow so that the boxes
for 'advanced' and 'browse' are truncated on the right.
Has the window been made re-sizable now for 2.1+ ]

Recently my system has begun to issue the following error
when I try to send out emails on this account:
"Sending of message failed. An error occurred sending mail:
Unable to authenticate to SMTP server smtp.att.yahoo.com.
It does not support authentication (SMTP-AUTH) but you have
chosen to use authentication. Uncheck 'use name and password'
for that server or contact your server provider"

NOTE: This is not a hard error. If I wait a minute or two
and retry sending the message, it is sent out successfully.

So who's to blame? AND how do I get rid of this annoyance?

It sort-of works on SM 2.1. Not perfect, but still remarkable.



Very, very impressive work. Very cool.

From the notes, it appears that there are big problems to make it work
on non-Gecko browsers (and even older Geckos). And even when it works,
it's kinda sensitive to the precise version of Gecko and the OS it's
running on. So for the time being it's not that useful for website
designers.


Tried in IE8...stalls out totally without ever getting to content. So,
you're right.


But... it could be an interesting option for Gecko-based browser users.
Perhaps as an extension? Instead of using Adobe Reader, or Foxit, or PDF
X-Viewer or whatever, which all rely on the plugin interface, this could
use the extension API, which I understand (I'm not much of a programmer)
offers more features. At least, it seems to open a PDF inside the
browser faster than Adobe, which is not bad.





Until they are the broken again and again with each change in FireFox 
and SeaMonkey.

There are free FTP programs, you know. Both free and libre.

The best-known is probably FileZilla -- http://filezilla-project.org

FireFTP is an extension to add richer FTP functionality to Firefox.
Philip Chee has a version ported to Seamonkey (including 2.1):

Looked for FireFTP on AMO, but couldn't find it. The one I did find was 
incompatible with SM 2.2, so didn't recommend it. Philip's installed 
with no problem.


Completely forgot about FileZilla.

Still won't touch Composer with a 100 mile pole.

Not missing anything.

It publishes the file and nothing more, but you can specify a site sub
directory for the page you want to publish, if you know it.

You can also specify one for images and other files.


What a horrid way to publish by forcing me to know the directory path.


You could always use a separate FTP program. I use gFTP on my openSUSE 
11.3 Linux.


Then again I wouldn't touch composer wit a 10 "mile" pole.

There used to be free version of WS_FTP, but you might want to take a 
look at the Pro version. It has a 30 day free trial.

Re: Seamonkey2 - themes issues

My unbuntu 8.04 on my old(ish) laptop computer has just upgraded the
Seamonkey to version 2.

It has changed the appearance of Seamonkey, to some silly looking theme,
that is listed as the "default theme".

It appears that software developers design software for their own
pleasure, and not for the users.

The "Classic" theme will not install.

The "Littlemonkey" theme has some silly looking phallic symbols to the
left of the toolbars.

Is is possible to get a traditional looking theme for Seamonkey 2.x, so
that we can have a decent appearance for Seamonkey, like the themes from
Seamonkey 1 or Netscape?

Thank you in anticipation.

I posted this earlier on 20-06-2011

SM 2.1, for classic theme (SM 1.xxx default) diehards

Seazilla 0.3

June 16, 2011 ,SeaMonkey 2.0b1pre - 2.0.*

I installed Seamonkey 2.1 as an update on top off Seamonkey 2.0.14
Everything went flawlessly, SM 2.1 disabled Classic Default Theme 0.7.

So I installed Add-On Compatibility Reporter 0.8.5
June 6, 2011, SeaMonkey 2.0 - 2.4a1
https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/seamonkey/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=api

I could now enable Classic Default Theme 0.7 and it worked, bur some 
things were badly broken.


Then I installed Seazilla Classic Theme 0.3, it's a fairly new theme

Seazilla 0.3

June 16, 2011 ,SeaMonkey 2.0b1pre - 2.0.*

A rebuild of the Mozilla1.x/Seamonkey1.x classic theme.
https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/seamonkey/addon/seazilla/?src=api

Seazilla works withh SM 2.1 after some tweaks.

General verdict.

Browser OK
Mail/News/Mail/Mail-Composer OK
Add-On manager OK, looks the same as the SM 2.1 Default Theme
Bookmark manager/organizer, some minor things but usable.
Pssword Mangager OK

But

If you click Window/ Adressbook you get an anomaly.
The Delete/Remove Icon is not supported (verwijderen in Dutch)
It creates a lot of space, you can drag it from the bar, rightclick and
choose customize, drag it down and everthing looks ok.

I Used a localized SM 2.1 NL version (Dutch),Windows 2000 Pro, Seazilla 
looks grey-ish. I don't know how this theme looks on Windows XP/Vista/Win7


Sreenshots, removed wrong icons

Adressbook wrong delete-icon (verwijderen = delete)
http://i55.tinypic.com/2ztgksh.jpg

Drag wrong icon from the bar
http://i51.tinypic.com/2py4akg.jpg

Adresbook correct after removing icon
http://i56.tinypic.com/ff0rc5.jpg

The sync button can cause problems too.
