Re: SeaMonkey/2.19 on Linux nuked all messages in InBox and ALL folders underneath

Sorry, haven't installed on my Win7 as yet!! Not sure what you mean by dual-mode buttons, in any case. They're the toolbar buttons that have a small dropdown arrow to the right. If you click the arrow portion, the button can perform additional functions. The back and forward buttons on the browser's navigation toolbar are a good example. Ah! So I was aware of the functionality, just not the "dual-mode buttons" term ... just usually referred to as the "drop-down", i.e. the "Get Msgs drop-down", "Compose drop-down", etc!! -- Daniel User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 SeaMonkey/2.18 Build identifier: 20130418192405 or User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 SeaMonkey/2.18 Build identifier: 20130403022815 ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

For the past few days, this second account has been timing out, so I've got no access to these groups. The first account works, but (as you're probably aware) there's very little activity on any of the general groups, some but not much! I cannot recall anything I've done which might have broken this second account! Has anybody got any suggestions as to how I can get the account responding correctly?? Should I remove the account entries from the password manager and hope I get asked to enter them, again?? Any other suggestions?? TIA -- Daniel Lee, thanks for the response, but note for the future ... If someone post to a group/list, then chances are they will be checking the group/list for any responses, so there is no need for you to post to their email account as well!! No biggie!! I wouldn't expect Teranews to go changing their server IP address without telling people it's going to happen, but it seems something has changed, so I might have to change the address, as you suggest. It is rarely a good idea to use an IP address in place of a domain name. If a server has to be taken out of service for maintenance or repair, its replacement will have a different IP address. That replacement, however, might only be temporary, which means you will have to keep changing the IP address to which you refer. Furthermore, where servers are mirrored (several identical servers, all with the same domain name), a particular server -- with its unique IP address -- might be allowed to die without replacement. Thanks for that David. Up above, I stated that I had been using 69.16.185.252, whereas Lee came up with 69.16.179.22/69.16.179.23, so you may well be right with your "die without replacement" suggestion. Last night, I tried setting up (or, rather, modified the existing account) to the 69.16.179.22 address, and in trying to update the account I've exceeded my monthly limit so am now barred!! As the "new" server has yet to give me a full listing of the new or old messages in the (I said "a dozen or so" in error) 20 newsgroups, I guess I'll have to find something else to do with my time!! Or try 69.16.185.252 again!! ;-) -- Daniel User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 SeaMonkey/2.18 Build identifier: 20130418192405 or User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 SeaMonkey/2.18 Build identifier: 20130403022815 ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Well, I do weekly backups on Saturday... this was to be the last email sent prior to weekly mailbox compaction, then backup. I know of no way to gracefully exit Mozilla products via command line. I leave SM up "all the time", though have to restart it periodically due some blasted folder memory leak, disappearing child folders. To mask that, I can open a new SM mail window instance and at least the folders show up again. Sluggish folder open/close performance requires a restart however. "Unable to expand a folder's subfolders without opening the folder first in a new email window" https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593519 Anyway... for daily backups I could run them on the local filesystem, and not go through the compact... IF I could automate graceful exit/restart of SM. Suggestions to accomplish such? Then I could have the weekly manual backup remain to our server, run that after cleanup/compact. Using Linux, the only time I've needed to restore from backup is due to disappearance of a folder due to an accidental drag. Jah, I am suspecting I detected I "accidentally started to drag", realized what SM thought I meant, stopped, and it was too late. :-( Sincerely, -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I don't like having to take the time to recover my computer and check that the files have not been corrupted by the unceremonious shutdown. Also, anyone know why e2fsck clears orphaned inodes instead of attaching them to the appropriate lost+found directory? what makes you think this is a SM issue? what desktop you using? what do your logs say? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
