email1:  every 3 minutes

Instead of having them all check every three minutes.

This seems to have stopped the horrible problem of SM hannging.

I'm just guesing that having them all gear up and check the server at
the same time was the problem.

FYI:  In these email accounts there are three different mail servers.

In the news groups there are two servers involved.

Not sure if this is the answer but if it can help the others who seem to

only to appear later.



Now that you mention it, Ed..

On one of my UseNet servers, I have about 40-45 groups, and when I 
expand the server, the computer does tend to lock up whilst addressing 
the server and updating the "Unread" and "Total" figures.


So, if I think about it, I try to expand the UseNet server after I've 
gotten the last un-read message from this servers groups. Usually means 
the UseNet Groups are updated whilst I'm reading what's on screen!!

Re: Email Outgoing "Reply-to" Addresses

I just changed ISP - from HughesNet to WildBlue/ViaSat. During the transition SM was updated to 2.13. I use four accounts, the
primary account, and three auxiliary accounts for various functions. Prior to these changes, when an auxiliary account was used,
the "reply to" address in the header would be that of the auxiliary account, now the "reply to" address is
always that of the primary account. When I check the "sent" folder, the header lists the account address that I used
to create the email, but the person receiving the email gets the primary account address and all "replies" tumble back
into my primary account causing a mess. As before, the primary account SMTP server is listed as "default," but prior
to the changes, the addresses for the auxiliary accounts would stay in place. One difference between ISP settings; before the
outgoing server was port 25 - non-secure, now using port 465 - SSL/TLS.

I'm told by the WildBlue tech-troll that the problem is with my email client
even though it's a new problem and WildBlue has been the only change, with the
exception of the SM update to 2.13.

Whether it's WildBlue or SM, I'd really like to get the "reply to" addresses to
reflect the account I use. Any cures available?

Phil, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but.!

If I wanted to sent your post to a friend, for example, I would need to
change the "From" address, as I don't have "send email" privliges on
this account, so, in the e-mail, I click on drop-down arrow in the
"From" line in the Compose window and select the required e-mail
address, so it will seem that the e-mail has been sent from the required
account. No need for a "Reply To:" address.

Is this what you're after??

Quite possibly: since all accounts are usually checked at mail startup, 
if you check them all at a common frequency SeaMonkey will become very 
busy at that frequency, with a risk of periodic hangs. Staggering the 
server polls makes the mailer less busy more often: in your example, at 
3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15*, 18, 20, 21*, 24, 25, 27, 28, 30*… 
minutes after startup; it's only every 105 minutes (1 h 45 min; the 
least common multiple of 3, 5 and 7) that all three of these servers 
will again be polled together.




FYI:  In these email accounts there are three different mail servers.

In the news groups there are two servers involved.

Good to know your problem was solved — and that you thought of telling 
others about it.



Best regards,

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted,
