One question remains on my mind: before Local Folders (was Mozilla Suite which started this), what was it we could not do today with them? Not obvious, except for one thing which became easier with them: "Some people use Local Folders as a place to archive old messages, so that their actively used mail folders are smaller and less cluttered" (cited from the URL above). Lots of users keep an inordinate amount of mail in the Inbox. Local Folders can indeed be used as a storage area for emails that are not immediately needed but that should still remain readily accessible. Personally, this is the only practical use I ever found for Local Folders.

Local Folders
I am using SM 2.0.3, Windows XP Pro sp3. What is "Local Folders" that I see in my mail & newsgroup list? What is it´s purpose? I am wondering after having read another thread here, and me having some weird problems within my mail program. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

What I do know though is that I am using the profile I want to, and that is not the "default" one that also sits there for whatever reason. O.K., Monica, forget the "Manage Profiles" bit for now. Just select Tools->Switch profiles and check out what the other profile/s contains. When you installed SM 2.0.x, it should have made a copy of your SM 1.1.xx profile (the .slt one) and called the new one ".default". If your SM 1 profile is still there, it will not have your latest email, for example, but would be complete upto your change-over date. Just check it out! Daniel I just switched profiles to check out what the other (.default) profile contains. It really doesn´t contain anything of mine. It´s just an original "default" profile from the update ( or upgrade?) made November 19, 2009. Was that maybe when SM2 came out (and I upgraded from SM1)? The profile I am using (the .slt one) has everything from my old profile and up to current time. Let me take a wild guess here, by any chance when the pop-up asking "what shall I import?" came up, did you click some selection other than "everything?" I have always done "all or nothing" at that point, If you did, you are probably going down a lightly tested (at best) path, since most people either trust it or don't. I can´t really remember getting that question at all to be honest, but I doubt that I would have answered anything but "everything" since I know I always want everything possible imported. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Or, Monica is it possible that you never set up the Mail & Newgroup side of SM 2, you just selected your old SM 1 profile and went on surfing?? That´s not possible since the profile sits in the correct SM2 directory. How would it have gotten there without me moving it there? Let´s skip the question on how the whole thing ever happened and move on to a solution. Simple question (again), can I just rename my working profile with the .slt ending and give it the ending .default, and delete the current .default one?

Well if someone hadn´t snipped my thread you would have seen it right here! ;-| Anyway; here it is again, the one and only/same path to both my profiles: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\ApplicationData\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ A had SM1 instaled with his default values. I then remove (by add/remove programs SM1) folowed by installing SM2 with his default values. I did the same. I now have two profiles: - The SM1 one at: C:\Documents and Settings\RAY\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\gt6bfqi6.slt - The SM2 one at: C:\Documents and Settings\RAY\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\2pj2ffu1.default both were under different directories, but all those stuff are inside the *same* directory C:\Documents and Settings\RAY\Application Data\Mozilla\ ...not to "the bitter end" yours weren´t. Yours go different paths after \Mozilla\ (mine don´t). So i have only one .slt (of SM1) and one .default (of SM2) Well I have one .slt and one .default profile in the very same directory/path, the SM2 directory! ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I think it's possible to have SM2 using files in the wrong place, and so sharing the old SM1 locations. As far as I understand SM2 is not using a profile (my working .slt one) sitting in the wrong place. Isn´t this the path it´s supposed to be in for SM2; C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\ApplicationData\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ I can't do it deliberately, but there seems to be some install issue which confuses the issue. I would not delete anything unless you know what to backup.

Daniel I am not sure (can´t remember) if it was this last time I upgraded from SM 1.x or just did an update within SM2.x. I think the latter, because I think I can recall being annoyed at the update being done automatically without me being asked first. I know now that I can untick a box for that, which I did today. That .slt variant may have been with me ever since I upgraded to SM2 and I just haven´t noticed anything wrong until I needed to perform certain things lately. Do you know what can be done about this though? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Two profiles, I only created one
Since the last update to the current 2.0.3. I have 2 profiles in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\ApplicationData\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\The first one (which has all my stuff in it) [random string].slt and the second one [random string].default I have never created more than one, but suspect that SM for some reason has created the second one, which I think may be messing a few things up for me (that I´ve posted about in another thread). I read another posting here which said that the Mail folder should be in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\ApplicationData\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\[random string].default\Mail My mail (and everything else of my stuff) does not sit in the profile with the .default ending but in the profile with the .slt ending. How can I go about to correct this? Can I just delete the .default one? Any help will be much appreciated.

Unless you are creating them in a new profile, no. If these are going in a new profile, maybe.

You can try creating another new profile and see if it offers to put it in NetScape... Quick detective work. No I´m not creating them in a new profile. However, in profile manager I can see a profile called "default" which I do not use, nor have I ever created it. I tried the trick you wrote about above, to create a new profile. It did not offer to put the new profile in Netscape, but under the same path as my "old" ones; in C:\Documents and Settings\Administratör\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ Could there be something strange going on with that "default" profile (which SM must have created when I upgraded), even though I don´t use it? Like Bill, I have no idea what SM is up to and have not added any accounts lately. As the sole user of my computer, I dislike the habit of programs to store their data in My Documents, or alongside the program files or in the Documents and Settings folders. I actually have a separate drive for data and try to point all of my programs to appropriate folders on it. This means that I can take separate backups of my programs and my data (including all my email files). Anyway, to fix your existing problem, copy the account folder to where you want it to be. Go into SM and the Account Settings and at the bottom of the Server Settings page you will see a box with the file location in. Change this to the new location and shut down SM. Rename or move to somewhere safe the old account folder - you will not be able to do this with any part of SM running as it will have locks on it. Fire back up SM and it should then find the account files in their new location. When you are happy that it is working correctly, you can delete the old account folder and files. Hope that this helps. Thank you EnorMouse, I did exactly what you wrote and it seems to work so far! However, when I tried to create another new mail account...sure enough it went straight into the "wrong" (Netscape) location! Is there anything I can delete somewhere to get rid of that Netscape path for good, and so that SM doesn´t create it again even after I have deleted it? And how about that extra profile "default" which I never created...should I just delete that? I do have to be slightly careful because I have everything pointed at E:\Mail & Newsgroups\SeaMonkey so things might not work quite the same way. I have just found out that clicking on the Profile Manager short-cut in my SeaMonkey menu just opens a copy of SM - there again I am not 100% sure that I bothered to install it, as I only work with my own single profile. Anyway, getting back to what I do feel happy to comment on, yes the trick of moving the folders is a one off and has to be done for every account. When I last set up a new account SM stuck it in my Documents & Settings folder and I had to go through the same procedure again. If you have a number of accounts to set up, you can set them all up first and then run through the same procedure for each of them in one go. Using Explorer, I know that the only location of my Profiles folder is also under E:\Mail & Newsgroups\SeaMonkey and I have a single folder under it with my own name on it. I do not have a second folder called 'Default'. It would seem that so long as you can confirm that you have an active profile sub-folder in your own name, you do not need the Default one as well.

I asked this question of a friend of mine, and we discussed it in a support chat room last night. From norm: Netscape 7.1 is circa 2003, and may have been included by the oem on the machine. The user should check in add/remove programs to see if it exists there, and uninstall from there it if it is listed. That may take care of seamonkey finding the profile, as it seems to be doing. As for why seamonkey is finding that profile location, I have no idea.

F-secure can´t remove them it seems so I am wondering if I can just delete the mail folders where the viruses sit. Does anyone know ? Well, yes, in principle you could just delete the entire folders. But in many cases this is like curing dandruff by decapitation -- you get rid of an infected message, but you lose your good messages with it. And some folders shouldn't be deleted from within Seamonkey. Viruses in email are attachments; furthermore, they are almost always attachments in undesirable messages (spam). So you might delete just those messages. Some combinations of antivirus and e-mail software are unable to delete the infected attachment automatically; but they usually offer some alternative way of rendering it harmless. For instance, my antivirus can't delete infected email attachments, but it can *rename* then so even if you extract the attachment, it won't be seen by the system as an executable file. To be safer while doing this maintenance, you should set up your Seamonkey to view messages as "Simple HTML" or "Plain text" -- this option can be found on the "View" menu of the mail window. Some malicious messages could have crafty HTML coding geared to increase the chances of infection, which Simple HTML would ignore. Anyway... to sum it all up, do the following: 1. Check if your antivirus offers another option to neutralize the virus, such as renaming. 2. Set Seamonkey to display messages as "Simple HTML" or "Plain text" 3. Look for and delete the problem messages. 4. Empty your "Deleted messages" folder. 5. Compact the message folders to get rid of any virus remains.

Glen I thought that my F-Secure Internet Security 2010 would be enough. It is if the results you're getting are good enough for you. They really have been so far! Maybe the fact that I discovered that there is a "heuristic" scanning option, and has started using it, that changed things. As I understand it that option does look for possibly suspicious objects in a totally different way. Keep in mind too that you may have a false positive, where your virus software is reporting what it *thinks* is a virus. Whether or not there actually is a virus there is a different story. Yes, because of the heursitic way of scanning now, maybe those viruses reported (which can´t be removed) aren´t really viruses at all. How can one check that? Perhaps you could try moving the messages from that mail folder into a temporary mail folder, and see if the virus moves with the messages. If it does, you can even go as far is moving only some messages at a time until you determine which one is causing the problem. Then just delete that message. Yes, but you see in regards to the folders where the viruses are said to be, no messages what so ever show up there when I look at those "ordinary" mail folders in the mail client.

Glen I thought that my F-Secure Internet Security 2010 would be enough. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

If I let it continue and check to see if sent it is; while progress bar is still running. SM 2 and now SM 2.0.1 on G4 1.67GB 17" Powerbook 1 MB DSL line. Any one else experience this. This happens on SM 1.1.X as well. Just once in a rare while. I am having that problem too and have been wondering if it was just me. I didn´t have any problems like that in SM1. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It will always show that message for any SM user who haven't added "Firefox" or "Firefox/3.0" to their user agent string. But you can click to go ahead and it will work fine.

I get in with no problems. Try emptying your cookies and cache and
try again. Did that work?
No. I had already tried that.
I get in with no problem (SM 1.1.13). Why not create a new profile
("Test") and see if that works.
