Re: TB vs SM for a non technical user
Rex wrote: Ever since I started using Seamonkey 2.x, I've been torn between using it and Firefox + Thunderbird, so I use all 3. I've used Firefox since 0.6, and have numerous extensions I can't live without. Thunderbird 3.1 is really great, with threaded conversation view and so on. SM beats both of them by being tightly integrated and taking up less memory. I want to set up an email client for my father who is not quite a tech savvy user. He primarily uses GMail for mail, and as of now just accesses the site directly via a mostly barebones Firefox installation. From what I've seen on this group, most Seamonkey users are power users, or Netscape Communicator fans who miss having an all in one client. Seamonkey itself has quite a few complicated features over Firefox and the preferences UI can be daunting for an average user. Would it make sense to switch him over to Seamonkey and setup his Gmail account via IMAP, as opposed to installing Thunderbird? Has anyone else setup Seamonkey for friends and family who are not exactly tech savvy? If it works for him, why change it? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I would like to be able to have the filter for aus.legal in place before downloading discussions (probably difficult or impossible) If you're speaking about Message Filters, look for msgFilterRules.dat in your profile. Copy to new profile in similar location. Thank, this sounds like what I need except that I can not find msgFilterRules.dat any where, any pointers where to look? windows search does not find it. A good way to find this is to type %appdata% in the address bar of Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer). After that you will see the folders for stuff like SeaMonkey, Firefox and all those other installed programs. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
SeaMonkey as a newsreader - download message bodies
I'm sure this should be possible, but I can't seem to find a way to tell SM to do this. I want it to download all the message bodies for the newsgroups I am subscribed to so that I can peruse it at my leisure. Also, there is one news server that is persnickety and times out often and I'm hoping this way I can get more of its messags when it does allow a connection.
