Hello everyone,
  Well I logged onto my Sea Monkey browser as usual and when my
browser appeared, it had automatically updated to Sea Monkey 2.0.14.
It looked a bit different but everything appeared to be there.
But.. when I went to use my e-mail that Sea Monkey provides, I was
unable to to send any messages. I was able to receive them just not
able to send them. I called my internet provider "Comcast" to aid me
with this problem, but they no longer help with browsers other than
their own. I went through all the setting and every thing was still
the same, but it will not send. I get this email message stating when
I attempt to send it:

"Cannot send message using the server
Smtp.comcast.net:wingspan2..Use the pop-up menu below to try a
different outgoing mail server.  All messages will use this server
until you quit Mail or change your network settings"

 So my wife and I tried different options that appeared in the drop
down box, but none were able to make the out going mail work. Has
anyone had this problem or know how to repair so our email can be sent
again?

Thanks in advance,
Rob


Last time i had that problem (with a different email client 
though), i had to delete all existing OGMS, restart the client, 
and setup the OGMS again from scratch.  worked a treat after that.

ahh so that's the rascal that's responsible.


Well, not quite. The concept of a tabbed interface apparently came from
IBM, as part of their CUA project. The first browser with something
similar to modern tabs was a development version of Opera. But they
kinda sat on it for a while, the feature was not very well known -- it
only came to their mainstream browser after others had reinvented it
independently.

Then, there was Netcaptor, which was a front-end for the IE engine,
that brought it to the general public. A couple others (including Opera)
followed suit.

HJ, the author of Multizilla, was the one who brought it to the Mozilla
project -- in the form of an extension. Dave Hyatt saw it, liked it, and
wrote his own implementation (not taken from Multizilla) for the trunk
Mozilla browser.

So, if you want someone to "blame" (I personally would "thank"), there's
quite a bunch of people. The guys at IBM and Opera for creating it, the
guys at Netcaptor for spreading it around, HJ for showing it could work
in a Mozilla product or Dave Hyatt for making it a core feature.



lol, well good on them all then! But especially HJ. :) The suite 
was the first place I came across tabs, years before IE ever had 
them. I guess that was 2002. And Multizilla was one of the first 
extensions I tried.  Been using it ever since.


On a slightly different note. Is anyone else that's still using SM 
1.1.18 having trouble with chat in facebook (FB)? It always give 
the error message: Facebook Chat Error

Could not connect to Facebook Chat at this time.

Also on FB, the top "status update" ("write something") text box. 
I click in it and the mouse pointer changes to a text pointer, the 
box gets a bit larger, but no cursor appears, and I can't type 
anything in the box. The "attach" links work though.  As does 
everything else on FB.


It all works fine with Google Chrome.

Suggestions anyone? (besides updating to 2.x that is! :) )

Cheers.

Try MrTech Extension and see if Multizalla works with forced compatibility.



No, Multizilla is too big and complex -- it doesn't just add a localized
feature, it replaces a large part of Seamonkey's UI. There's just too
many places where it hooks into the old XPFE toolkit.

The author was working on a Toolkit (Suiterunner) build, but he doesn't
have much time for the project these days, so it is essentially stalled
for the time being. I even tested the Suiterunner build a few months
ago, but it's still too broken to be usable.




I'm sorry to hear that Multizilla wont work in SM2.x, it's my 
favourite extension.  If I have to drop it, I'll have to spend 
quite some time setting up preferences from scratch.  It's 
literally years since I've has to do that.

I'm sticking with v1.1.18 for now at least. Because of the add

manager among lots of other things.  I have tried 2.x on a few 
occasions, but each time within a day, I've done a system restore 
to a point just before the 2.x install. I lose too many settings

FF/TB is on all our other systems. Not that I use any of them very

Maybe I'll have another look after a few more 2.x versions have

You can install SM2 safely to a folder like Seamonkey2 besides your old 
SM1.1.x
SM2 migrates your profile data to a _new_ profile in another directory. 
So you can use any Seamonkey at any time. Just make sure to add the 
-no-remote  parameter in the shortcut to SM2 if you need to start/run 
both Seamonkeys at the same time.

For me it is the browser compatibility that will get me to move. Too

For now I am still using 1.18 on my main (XP) machine. But it's only a 
matter of time.




The only site I have any trouble with what so ever is face book. 
SM1.18 wont let me add text into some text fields. The cursor just 
wont appear in the field. So not even ctrl+c, ctrl+v (MS global 
copy and paste keyboard shortcuts, great for when right clicks 
wont work) will work. Which is about the only time I ever open 
g00gle chr0me. A small price to pay to be able to continue using 
my favourite internet suite.


I don't much like changing default instillation folders. Otherwise 
I would just run 1x and 2x in parallel. Until such time as I am 
satisfied with 2x. I managed it with the actual program shortcuts 
by having two, with one pointing back to 1.18. But couldn't figure 
out how to do the same for the profile managers.


I know this isn't the soundest of practices, but with a little 
care, no problems are caused.

Re: SMTP parameter in SM2 after having migrated from SM1

Hello all,

I'm currently reviewing SM2 and when I installed it I told it to import 
the settings from my existing SM1 installation.

All email accounts got imported, along with the SMTP server definition.
While I can send emails just fine in SM1, I always get an error when 
sending emails with SM2.

The error says this:

Unable to authenticate to SMTP server SERVER_NAME. The serer does not 
support any compatible insecure authentication mechanism but you have 
chosen insecure authentication. Try switching on secure authentication 
or contact your service provider.


I tried turning on TLS or even SSL, but none of these are provided by 
the given server.

What I find weird is that it worked and continues to work fine in SM1.
Obviously, some option has been removed/disabled in SM2, but which one?
Is there a way to reactivate it?

Thanks


It's a known bug, you have to disable secure authentication.
It even says so on the SM2 page that loads after the initial 
installation. It's Under "known issues" or whatever.
I don't know why this preference was changed. It never used to be 
enabled in previous versions.


But you got to love these guys, they work their guts out for us 
all, for very little thanks or recognition. Even with my 
"Importing multiple SM 1.x identities into SM2" migration blues, I 
still think they have done an amazing job.


Anyway, this should do the trick for you.

The malware is a Firefox extension that (among other things) disables
the ability of Firefox to remove it.  This apparently affects only
Firefox 3.x because of the way extensions are installed.  SeaMonkey
1.1.x is related to Firefox 2.x and is not affected because of a
different scheme for installing extensions.  I don't know if SeaMonkey
2.x will be affected, but it does use the same extension installation
scheme as Firefox 3.x.

In any case, I've avoided this problem.  My Automatic Updates is set for
"Notify me but don't automatically download or install them."  Since I
use Internet Explorer only to get Windows updates and to check my own
Web pages, I have rejected all .NET Framework (and ActiveX) updates.

Suddenly, I'm very glad I did not update my Windows XP SP2 to Windows XP
SP3.  The latter would have included this malware.

See bug #499521 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499521>.



It turns out that this problem was known at the beginning of February.
New bug #499521 is a duplicate of bug #476430 (see
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476430>).  I find it
strange that there is some debate whether to take any corrective action.

PS.

If so, what mods need to be made to the following instructions to apply 
it to SeeMonkey?


Remove the Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant (ClickOnce) Firefox Extension

Intended For
Windows 2000
Windows 7
Windows XP
Windows Vista
The Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 update, pushed through
the Windows Update service to all recent editions of Windows in February
2009, installs the Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant firefox extension
without asking your permission.

This update adds to Firefox one of the most dangerous vulnerabilities
present in all versions of Internet Explorer: the ability for websites
to easily and quietly install software on your PC. Since this design
flaw is one of the reasons you may have originally chosen to abandon IE
in favour of a safer browser like Firefox, you may wish to remove this
extension with all due haste.

Unfortunately, Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has taken steps to
make the removal of this extension particularly difficult - open the
Add-ons window in Firefox, and you'll notice the Uninstall button next
to their extension is grayed out! Their reasoning, according to
Microsoft blogger Brad Abrams, is that the extension needed "support at
the machine level in order to enable the feature for all users on the
machine," which, of course, is precisely the reason this add-on is bad
news for all Firefox users.

Here's the bafflingly-convoluted procedure required to remove this
garbage from Firefox:

1. Open Registry Editor (type regedit in the Start menu Search box in
Vista/Windows 7, or in XP's Run window).
2. Expand the branches to the following key:
* On 32-bit systems: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Mozilla \ Firefox \
Extensions
* On x64 systems: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Wow6432Node \ Mozilla
\ Firefox \ Extensions
3. Delete the value named {20a82645-c095-46ed-80e3-08825760534b} from
the right pane.
4. Close the Registry Editor when you're done.
5. Open a new Firefox window, and in the address bar, type about:config
and press Enter.
6. Type microsoftdotnet in the Filter field to quickly find the
general.useragent.extra.microsoftdotnet setting.
7. Right-click general.useragent.extra.microsoftdotnet and select Reset.
8. Restart Firefox.
9. Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Windows Presentation
Foundation.
10. Delete the DotNetAssistantExtension folder entirely.
11. Open the Add-ons window in Firefox to confirm that the Microsoft
.NET Framework Assistant extension has been removed.

It will be a great day when PC users no longer have to waste this much
time to protect themselves from those who write the software they use.
(And if you're thinking, "Why not just use a Mac," may I remind you of
the MobileMe junk recently installed on so many Windows machines without
their owners' permission!)

Microsoft may be Firefox's worst vulnerability

2009-06-20 Thread Nairda

Hi everyone.
Can someone with a bit more understanding of these things please read 
this article and say weather this applies to SM as well?


http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/security/?p=1716&tag=nl.e011

Snip:
In a surprise move this year, Microsoft has decided to quietly install 
what amounts to a massive security vulnerability in Firefox without 
informing the user. Find out what Microsoft has to say about it, and how 
you can undo the damage. Microsoft pushed out its .NET Framework 3.5 
Service Pack 1 update this February

End Snip.

It looks rather nasty, and I wish I had read it sooner.
Cheers.

I have to guess what your problem is. Perhaps you have several Mail
Accounts and some of them use use Local Folders. Look under Server
Settings -> Advanced, if 'Global Inbox (Local Folders Account)' is checked.

Thank you so much Hartmut, you are a scholar and a gentleman.
Mark this one as resolved.

Hi everyone.
I have a slight problem with where some of my email addresses

problem and changed folder options for them, but it's still a bit 
perplexing to me as to why it happens in the first place, and how to 
change this behaviour.


Any tips will be greatly appreciated. TIA.

No?


Really? No one knows anything about this bug?
Or has MSS become a bit cliquey in it's old age?
Does no one want to help a girl in trouble?
Maybe chivalry really is dead. :)
