Sorry buts that about as detailed as I can get as to what's wrong.
Mac G4 1.25SP 2GB OS 10.4.11
Was using SM 1.1.14
Zipped the old Mozilla folder in ~/Library just in case.
Ditto renamed SeaMonkey.app to SeaMonkey old.app
Drop installed SM v2
Started it up, it asked me if I wanted to convert old stuff to new. I
said yes.
Note I have 7 mail accounts (6 imap, 1 pop) and 2 news accounts (of of
them this site)
First start
Got a browser window. Did Cmd2 and no mail window. But there was a "2"
with no description in the Window menu. Waited a bit. Tried Cmd2 a few
more times. Then tried to quit. Menu command activated but nothing
happened. Tried both CmdQ and menu pick. Nada. Restarted.
Second start
Now I can get a mail/news window. But I can't do anything with it. Menu
items flash if you pick them. But nothing happens. Clicking on Account
settings and such do nothing. I can open up main settings window but
many of the choices yield a blank space on the right. Still can't quit.
So I restart again.
Third start
Now I can get into preferences. They seem to do things. Ditto mail
account settings. But some accounts will not check email. Other things
odd. Still can't quit. Restart AGAIN.
Forth start
I get further but when I try and walk through email account settings
many (most?) windows on the right seem to display some XML code in 50pt
type. Still no quit. Restart AGAIN.
Now I fire up SeaMonkey old and send this.
Any ideas?
Unfortunately no.
I've had the same problems on a MacPro 3GB OS 10.5.8.
SM 1.1.18 works perfectly to access 9 email accounts, 4 news servers, bookmark
with 2900 entries and 550 MB in local folders.
SM 2.0 hangs, crashes, display numbers with no description in the Window menu,
refuses to display preferences, etc.. After several restart and reboot, I drop
SM 2.0 and revert to the previously renamed SeaMonkey.1.1.18.app
I've run SM 2.0 without problem on a Windows XP system with a single email
account, few bookmark entries and local folders almost empty.
I don't know yet what makes SM 2.0 unusable on MacOs.
