If I have it right about what you want to do you can click on the address, then click on Delete or you can click on the address book, then click on Delete. This is in my older version of SeaMonkey. It may not be the same in newer versions. If it isn't and I have understood you correctly, then someone else can tell you how to remove an address. I don't have Thunderbird on this machine and I can't get to the one that does at the moment. Again if I have understood you, someone will be able to tell you how to remove an address or address book in Thunderbird. If you want to remove an account completely you can do that by opening SeaMonkey's email part, then clicking on Edit, then on Mail and Newsgroup Account Settings, highlighting the account and scrolling down to the bottom of that column and clicking on Remove account. Alternatively you can simply not have mails download by clicking on Server Settings in the left hand column for the account in question and UNchecking all the boxes under the same heading in the panel on the right. You can manually download any mails for that account if you wish.

You are at Royal Holloway, University of London, judging by your email address (staff perhaps?). I have a degree level education. It means both of us have a good command of English. It's easy in those circumstances to be impatient with anyone who doesn't have the same command. Yes, I would have been impatient too /but/ I have a son with ASD who has excellent spelling but a most convoluted way of speaking, especially when it's something he doesn't know how to describe.and a dyslexic dau who is very probably ASD too who has wayward spelling and lousy communication skills. You'd probably have a hard time understanding either of them but it isn't really all that hard, not if you take the time with them. Believe me it hurts knowing both struggle with language, to make sense of the world around them, and knowing my dau feels defeated because of attitudes towards her because of her lack of language ability. There are many reasons why someone might struggle: ASD, dyslexia, stroke, age, non native speaker, and so on, or a combination of factors.

Open the Bookmarks Manager (Ctrl+B) and open the Restore menu below
the Tools menu.
The entries listed there equal the JSON files located in the

Boy, just what I wanted - yesterday! But thanks, I now know how for

And where in Help?
I fear that's not in Help. Help is outdated in many ways, including
almost all changes related to Places (today's back-end for history
and bookmarks).
I thought that was the case. I seldom like Help files anyways.
However, this episode caused me to be unhappy with all the

Edit Preferences Privacy and Security Cookies I have 3 yahoo accounts and have it set to accept cookies normally and am using SM 2.2.21. I never have the box checked to stay logged in but I just double click on the username box and it brings up the three accounts in a drop down box, I pick one and it inserts the password and I am good to go--been this way for a long time. Not to drift to far off topic, but do you have any password extensions installed? SM 2.22 does not ask to remember my Yahoo password, and I am just trying to assist DoctorBill. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

If I remove all cookies with the Windows Internet Options tool, would that be OK ? OK but ineffectual. The Windows tool only removes cookies stored by Internet Explorer. For SeaMonkey cookies, there are two ways: 1) The hard way: open Cookie Manager and for each site listed, delete them by hand; 2) The easy way (two-step process): a) Edit | Preferences | Privacy Security | Private Data: make sure Cookies is checked; b) From a browser window, Tools | Clear Private Data or Ctrl-Shift-Del. OMG - I did the Easy Way - went to Edit|Prefs|ps and clicked the Cookies box. Was not checked before that. Above that list was a Clear data Now - so I clicked it. My HD light came on for maybe 60 - 90 seconds ! Then a window came up and said a Script was running, so I chose to stop it. Then the HD light came back on for another 60 -120 seconds before it petered out. My system has a 3 GHz CPU and that was a LONG TIME for it to be doing something !

Has something been changed all across the Internet ? Nothing has changed across the Internet. Don't know about your other haunts, but I see the same behavior with Yahoo using SM 2.22, and I have a clean profile. I enter my Yahoo ID, password, check Keep me signed in, and on restart I have to repeat the process. Probably because SeaMonkey doesn't ask me if I want to remember the Username and PW. What is up with that? OK. SM asks me to save PW on another site. It keeps me logged in if I navigate to other sites and come back to Yahoo. I don't clear any private data when closing SeaMonkey. Yahoo seems to be the problem. Not SeaMonkey. As noted elsewhere in this thread, if you allow only session cookies, then SeaMonkey will wipe them at the end of the session (when you close SM). That's what session cookies means. If you want cookies to persist from session to session, you have to change your cookie prefs: Edit | Preferences | Privacy Security | Cookies ... Cookie retention policy [x] Accept cookies normally [ ] Accept for current session only While you're there, go to Edit | Preferences | Privacy Security | Passwords. If remember passwords is checked, all is well because SM will remember passwords for all sites that you don't explicitly exclude. If the box is not checked, yahoo must be an exception to the ban (see below). So if what you want is to be prompted to login with stored passwords at the beginning of each session, stick with session cookies and tell SM to remember your username and password: Tools | Password Manager | Manage Stored Passwords This opens the Data Manager to the Passwords tab. In the search window (Search Domains) type yahoo (without the quotes) and see if there's a record. If so, click Show Passwords at the lower right and confirm that the username and password listed are correct. If not, delete the record for yahoo.com so SM will have to ask the next time you login. While you're in the Data Manager, choose Permissions only from the pull-down list right above the search window. As before, search for yahoo. You should see one of two things: 1) an entry on the right that looks like this: yahoo.com Save Passwords (•) Allow 2) no entry. If your default above was not to save passwords but you see allow here, all is well (yahoo is an exception to the ban). And if your default above was to save passwords, and you see nothing here, then yahoo will obey the default and save passwords; again, all is well. There would only be a problem if: a) your default is to save passwords but the Permissions for yahoo say Never save. In this case, select the rule and click Remove to delete that ban and let yahoo follow the default; b) your default is not to save passwords and yahoo is not listed as an exception. In this case, click Add, Set cookies, Add to create an exception for yahoo to Allow. Note that when you first add a rule, Use default is checked; you must select one of the options on the right to make an exception.

I first noticed it in the Master Password dialog on the Mac in all releases after 2.13.2 and submitted bug 817318 against SM 2.14.1, but it's been resolved/closed as a duplicate - and it's still broken. The duplicate bug is bug 812050, and is also written against the Mac version (as I submitted) but appears to be a bit more broad in scope. Now more and more people appear to also be seeing this in the Win version and in more places than I've seen the problem - I still only see it with the Master Password request in the Mac version of SM 2.22. I've never tried to drag the box open farther...I'll see if I can even do that.
