Does it work with the current version of Seamonkey? Also, do you know if it causes any problems that will mess things up (e.g., duplicate entries) if Seamonkey moves on up to sync 1.5? Thanks for the hint, and for any insights...best wishes, Tom ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Thanks for the note; I tried to look in my logs and didn't see that. If you *do* figure out how to set up a server, could you please post instructions for those of us who are not very sophisticated in such matters?

However if there *are* active plans to incorporate sync 1.5 into Seamonkey I am delighted. I was afraid maybe the decision had been made to give up on sync. Realizing that it is all the work of (wonderful!!) volunteers, do you have any sense of a realistic likely timelinedo you know if it is likely to be in a few weeks, a few months, or is it simply impossible to guess? Again, thanks very much for the information. best wishes, Tom ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
sync not working the last few days?
I have a bunch of machines running Seamonkey (2.38, but sync was set up long before the "can't link new machine" problem). I'm not sure when it started, but at least as of yesterday I'm getting "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error" message; if I go to preferences-->sync to try to look at my quota, I get "can't retrieve quota". And the problem doesn't seem transient; changed bookmarks on one machine aren't appearing on others. Does anyone know if the sync server is down or is my problem unique to me? (and if the latter, any suggestions?) Thanks!...Tom ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Yes, I'm also quite dependent on sync. I've seen earlier discussion of the possibility of closing down the sync server and/or transitioning to the sync used for Firefox; I hope we would get some warning if the syncing really were being shut down. Anyway, thanks a lot for the reply; I guess it isn't just me! ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

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 My situation is that I can receive just gangbusters with SM2. But it refuses to send, giving the SMTP-AUTH message. However, the server settings show no security, no Auth. Let me know if you get it working and most of all, how you did it. I think that may be your problem, you have to match your settings to the server, if it wants auth you have to provide it. Since I don't know what your server wants I can't be sure, but there's a reasonable possibility that you need to configure auth. Not only that, but secure auth, like TLS+SSL (I forget the exact choice in the list), but it's not the checkbox, it's the menu about 1/3 down the screen. Thanks. I will try that one. jim I am experiencing similar problems, and went so far as to ask our systems people at the University of Delaware to check it out; they downloaded Seamonkey 2.0 and couldn't get it to work with our servers with any combination of settings (Seamonkey 1.x worked fine).
