I was getting this with very large messages, actually messages with

That's actually part of the POP protocol.  When you download messages, 
the signal to delete messages from the server isn't sent until the 
entire batch of messages in the inbox on the server.  Thus, if the 
download gets interrupted, then the effect can be that messages that are 
a partial batch aren't deleted, and will get downloaded again, on a 
subsequent attempt.


This kind of effect isn't common for broadband connections, but in the 
era of dialup connections, it did happen occasionally, especially on 
slow/unreliable connections. The most common occurrence I would see 
would be a batch of several hundred KB to download that included one 
message with a relatively large attachment (typically with photos).  If 
the download would abort (usually timeout), it tended to be while it was 
downloading the large message.  And a subsequent download attempt would 
re-download the beginning of the batch (already seen), and hang again on 
the large message.  I learned to call this situation a "hairball". (Gag! 
Ack! Barf! Thwpth!)


I should note that the old Eudora client was an exception, in that it 
would send a server delete request following successful download of each 
message, rather than waiting until completion of the entire batch.




The solution is to open the truncated message and download the entire
message.  Alternatively, you might be able to view the E-mail server
over the Web and delete the offending message.



If you see this condition only once, yes, making an IMAP connection to 
the server (either by setting up an IMAP connection in your mail client, 
or by going to webmail access, which is also IMAP) will allow you to 
move both the messages you've seen, and the problem message out of the 
inbox (whether to trash, or just to some other folder) so that the top 
of the inbox becomes messages that you haven't yet tried to download.


However, I do concur with the advice that restarting in Safe Mode is a 
useful thing, as that will indicate whether the problem may be either 
with an extension, or some other personal preference setting that may be 
sufficiently amiss that it's interfering with download.

Update to the current SeaMonkey, then restart in safe mode to see if an

If you must use a version that is vulnerable to security exploits, try 
starting in safe mode to see if an extension is causing the problem.

The issue is one of confusion. The functionality of the Stop button is
to stop loading a page. It does that quite well. Once the page is
loaded, the stop button has no further function and so should likely be
disabled. As it is left in an enabled state, users can be forgiven for
thinking that it might stop script execution on a fully-loaded page.
Alas, that isn't how it works in my experience. Once the page has
loaded, the stop button has no effect whatsoever on dynamically updated
content.

And even more interesting is that upon restart of SM I can see that the

was still hung/in wait after the drag and wouldn't "wake up".


There are 1459 items in this Folder...I have another one that is bigger, 
and after trying to drag something into it, this happens with that one 
as well - now I've got the blue-ball again...


...after I re-launch, I'll try it with a smaller one and see what

Irrelevant. If a tech engineer doesn't know how to migrate certain data,
it is his/her responsibility to learn or pass on the task. It is not a

In the case of SeaMonkey, how to transfer a profile properly is easily
gleaned from a quick Google search. There simply is no excuse for not
getting it right.

Hi Trane,

Thanks for your comments, which are appreciated. One of the bothersome 
things here, is that I never asked the tech guys to touch my profile. I 
asked them to copy 4 files from the old to the new laptop: bookmarks, 
address book, Picasa photos, and music. Ironically, I feared that if I 
did it, I would make mistakes. Their incompetence and disinformation is 
most annoying,and has put my data and info in jeopardy. After all my 
visits and heartburn and fears, they only transferred the file with 
pictures to my newer PC, and not the other 3, and their fee was hefty to 
boot.


This was at Staples  Mount Kisco tech support, which has  a good 
reputation in this area = Westchester County, NY. It was a painful way 
for me to learn a lesson.


Thanks again to all the wonderful guys whose responses were very 
helpful. I'll have a showdown with the tech guys and the store manager 
in the next day or two, and hope for the best.

Many times, the reloading and redirecting are performed by JavaScript
scripts.  I have the PrefBar extension installed with the JavaScript
checkbox enabled.  When I see unwanted reloading or redirection, I clear
the checkbox, count to 5, and then check the checkbox to re-enable
JavaScript.

Yup, that's the same issue. If you browse this site

http://www.theguardian.com/uk

you will notice constant new HTTP requests are shown on the status bar 
(or more accurately if you use FireBug). Again, the stop button does not 
do anything. These are big name sites; I don't think it's practical for 
end users to simply avoid them.


It would appear that the code behind the stop button is from the days 
when a web page was just a single HTTP request. I do not believe it's 
fit for purpose with today's AJAX based sites..
