Re: Restart Extensions

[Stanimir Stamenkov via support-seamonkey]

Tue, 5 Jun 2018 19:48:41 -0700, _David E. Ross_:

I have tried two different extensions for doing a restart of SeaMonkey. 
Neither quite provided the capabilities I want.


I tried Restart Application Button 53.0 at 
.
  When I used it, SeaMonkey restarted with a Web page that I had left and 
not the last Web page I visited. If I had several tabs open but closed 
before selecting the Restart button, SeaMonkey restarted with those tabs 
open again.


Not sure if it might be realted but – do you have 
"browser.sessionstore.interval" customized?


I then tried the Restart button for the Toolbar Buttons extension at the 
list at 
.
  My normal setup is that JavaScript for the current tab is enabled, but 
I can use PrefBar to disable it.  If I did indeed disable it, this 
button failed to re-enable it on restarting SeaMonkey.


What I want is a button or menu item that, when selected, terminates and 
restarts SeaMonkey with ALL my defaults restored (including preferences 
from user.js) with the current Web pages (not prior pages) redisplayed. 
Is there an extension for that?

First you say you do, and then you don't.
And then you say you will, but then won't.
You're undecided now, so what're you goin' to do?

Two questions:

- Are you using POP or IMAP?
- If POP, what's the setting that you normally use for message retention 
on the server?


My suspicion is that you have been running POP on the old profile, and 
where you have things set to leave messages on the server, following 
download.  The default setting is to delete immediately, but there are 
reasons to leave downloaded messages for a time.


I also suspect that your new profile is also set to POP, but where the 
file POPSTATE.DAT has not been copied from the old profile to the new 
profile.


The POPSTATE.DAT file is what's used to track which messages have been 
seen, and which have not.  Thus, if you create a new profile, and you 
don't copy that particular file from the old profile, then in the new 
profile, Seamonkey will presume that all messages that are on the server 
are new, and will download them all.


If you still have a copy of the old profile, I suggest that you might 
want to redo the creation of the new profile.  Copy everything that you 
did previously, but make sure that you include the POPSTATE.DAT file. 
That will ensure that Seamonkey downloads only the messages that haven't 
already been seen in the old profile.


That said, if you're in the habit of leaving all your downloaded 
messages on the server, then you should consider using IMAP rather than 
POP. With IMAP, that allows you to set up an IMAP connection any place 
that you want -- because your messages and folder layout are on the 
server, you see the same thing with every connection, and no problems 
with duplication.


Although IMAP presumes a server connection, the default settings for 
IMAP are to replicate copies of content to your local hard drive, where 
they're available to you, even if you're off line.  For old stuff that 
you don't want to replicate to the server, that's the intended purpose 
of Local Folders, where you can keep stuff that isn't synchronized with 
a server.


In my own settings, I use POP on my primary profile, which is where I do 
my long-term storage of mail across several providers, and now more than 
2 decades of accumulated traffic.  However, because I make occasional 
use of multiple profiles in Seamonkey, as well as other mail clients 
(Thunderbird, Outlook, and even a little of Evolution, as well as web 
access, and a phone-based client), I set my primary POP profile to leave 
messages on the server for 2 weeks. For all the other profiles and 
clients, I use IMAP, which allows me to see all my most recent mail 
using whatever client and profile I happen to be using.  To facilitate 
long-term storage on my primary POP client, my habit is that I don't 
delete any messages from the inbox on an IMAP client, and if I happen to 
send a message from an IMAP connection, I make sure that I move the copy 
of the sent message from the Sent Mail folder to the inbox, so that when 
I next make a connection from POP, that will get downloaded, where I can 
subsequently file appropriately.

Hello all,

I Am on re-created profile #3 within two (2) months due to this.

Running SM 2.49.3 with W10 Pro on desktop.

What do I need to do further to curb this inconvenience?

I compact regularly, delete messages etc...

I cannot get any version of Duplicate Message Remover to work with this 
version of SM even with the convertor.
