Re: Seamonkey Mail Drafts and Junk Folder Corrupted

Inbox folder contains messages but file space reserved seems high as well. Then I considered whether I had corrupt disc file space and used CheckDisc to scan entire C drive. Checkdisc did not find any disc corruption. Any ideas on how to fix this? Delete the Drafts and Junk Folders manually and reinstall Seamonkey? Thanks David, did you try File-Empty Trash and then File-Compact Folders? When SM deletes a file (or copys to another folder, I think), the file is not actually removed from the Inbox, it is marked for deletion and made invisible. When you Empty Trash *and then* Compact Folders, it is actually deleted, releasing all saved space back to your system. I'm guessing the same would apply to your Draft folder as well. -- Daniel Thanks Daniel, that did the job, and released 10GB of space on the HD. You might want to take a look at the option: Edit Preferences Mail Newsgroups Network Storage Compact all folders when it will save over [...] MB in total SeaMonkey will then prompt you to compact folders when compacting folders would save more than that amount of space.

Bookmark backups
I just checked my bookmark backups and noticed that SeaMonkey has stopped making them, or at best is making them at very long time intervals. I have the program set to retain ten backups in the folder (or maybe that is the default setting). This is what's currently in the folder: 2 from Feb 1 from March 1 from April 2 from July 2 from August 2 from Sept I've done a couple of upgrades this year (currently using 2.30 on Win7) but they would have retained what was in the folder at the time.

External application question
I'm one of the people who actually makes use of the Seamonkey Composer. Yes, I know that it's unsupported, and that it has numerous limitations and annoyances, but I've found it to be useful for quick-and-dirty HTML editing. Over the last few days, I've found problems with the composer, in that it's not letting me edit anything. I don't think that's related to upgrading to SM 2.30, but likely something funky in my user profile. I have found that if I use Safe Mode, the composer is working OK. Rather than trying to debug profile settings, or rebuild a profile, I've been using Komposer, and that seems to be working fine, where the operational procedure is nearly identical to the Composer. (I know that Blue Griffon is newer, and that's where the development work is being applied, but I find that one frustrating, in that it's difficult to resize fonts quickly. Thus, for what I'm doing it looks like Kompozer is adequate). In the process, I'm finding that the one thing that I really miss about the Composer is the keyboard shortcut used to launch it. It's really nice to be viewing an HTML file, and simply press CTRL-E to open, and start editing. By contrast, with Kompozer (or for that matter, any other HTML editor), I have to do the combination of opening the editor, and then navigating to find the file. It's minor, but annoying. The question I have is whether there's a way of creating a keyboard shortcut that replicates this function: call a specified HTML editor to edit the file that's being viewed.

I have the program set to retain ten backups in the folder (or maybe that is the default setting). This is what's currently in the folder: How were you backing them up before? I've never seen anything in Seamonkey that allows for sequential backups, although a check of about:config in my own configs shows a setting of browser.bookmarks.max_backups with a default setting of 10. However, I know that if you set browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to True, that will cause an export of your bookmarks to bookmarks.html each time you exit Seamonkey. In the days that bookmarks.html was the bookmarks file (before they were moved into the SQL database) I got in the habit of setting the bookmarks.html file to be the home page for my other browsers (Firefox, IE, Opera, etc.) That way, my other browsers always have access to the most current list of bookmarks, at least the names and the links. (And periodically, I copy the bookmarks.html file to a LAN location, where I can get to that data from other machines in my LAN. With the auto-export active, I am able to continue this practice. In the meantime, I assume that you're getting regular backups of your bookmarks, either via regular backups of your data and/or MozBackup. Smith I'm not backing them up at all. The program does it, just as it does for Firefox and Palemoon, both of which are installed on the same machine. I don't use SeaMonkey very often and noticed that the last backup of 0 B is a .json file dated 2014-02-05 or bookmarks-2014-02-05.json. The latest Firefox backup of 56.6 KB is, bookmarks-2014-10-31_538_1sVtqOAs+lJju3U35hsxyQ==.jsonlz4 Maybe the code that creates that file in Firefox isn't recognized by SeaMonkey yet. Just FYI. I do not read HTML posts here, especially ones with unreadable backgrounds and tiny fonts.
