I do not understand that phrase. *HOWEVER*, the two preceding options seem to cover ALL my needs. Then the shortcuts to toggle read/unread (M) or tags (1, 2, 3, etc.) affect all selected messages. I think I understand using "M" to toggle read/unread. This works from within the thread pane (e.g. if filtered using the search bar), in which case the menus can also be used, and also from the advanced search dialog, although the menus aren't available there so you need to know the relevant keyboard shortcuts. You can use the menus from the main window to work out what the shortcuts are, e.g. Message > Tag to see which number corresponds to which tag. I'm not sure whether you get shortcuts for tags beyond the first 9, so you might need to order them so that your frequently used tags come within the first 9 to ensure there are shortcuts for them. That paragraph [PLUS toggling tags] I do *NOT* GROK.

Selecting/displaying desired messages conveniently - Feasible feature request?
SeaMonkey can already perform the required tasks. But it clashes with desired workflow. I make extensive use of custom tags . The two most used tags are for: 1. color coding the subject line of messages I wrote. 2. a general tag for things I find to be of long-term interest. Under "View:" my standard is to display all subject lines: associated with the second tag above or marked as unread FIRST problem. When a specific view is selected, SeaMonkey defaults to expanding the view in the "Thread" pane. As the purpose of the second tag is _long-term_ interest I have to scroll a long way to see today's posts. Is there any way to collapse *ALL* threads? [Collapsing individually is inconvenient.] SECOND problem. When searching a directory for key words in subject line [with perhaps a date boundary], I'll get a dozen or more hits that have to tagged individually. I would like to tag or mark as un-read all the hits the search has found. The un_satisfactory option SeaMonkey provides of creating a "saved search" for later display is inconvenient. Comments?

It could be that the port, connection security or authentication method need to be updated in SeaMonkey's account settings (Edit > Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings > [Account Name] > Server Settings). Although you may not have changed anything in SeaMonkey, mail providers sometimes change what they require. It might not be a recently announced change either, if they brought in new settings some time ago, but still supported the old method until recently. Most providers give the details needed somewhere on their support pages. Also, as others have mentioned, check that the username is definitely in the right format - depending on the provider, sometimes it needs to be the whole email address, sometimes only the part before the "@" (I even once had an account which needed the whole address but with "@" replaced with "#"!) Again, providers sometimes change what they expect, so worth checking even if it's previously been working. I was thinking along those lines. I'm setting up another physical machine for doing a test install of SeaMonkey after asking my provider for their preferences. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I've had a look in the Tools->Message Filters->New screen and it seems to allow to filter on "Subject", "From", "Date" and "Size" and it then offers "Customize". I'm guessing, if filtering on "newsgroups cross-posted to", it would be under this selection . Right?? Since you're not interested in the other group, why not just ignore it? Read the original in the group you like, and don't even subscribe to the other. Or am I missing something? I'm not the OP, but I can two uses. 1.

Personally my heart isn't into this. Even while paving the way to 2.57 I am always going to add this and that to 2.53 because that is for me the version where everything still works. I date back back to Netscape 4. I use SeaMonkey because it kept a *VERY* neat functional user interface {*LACKING* Firefox/Thunderbird}.
