Daniel Thanks for your help and thanks for not abandoning me. I did as you suggested, and nothing was changed in the Go drop-down window. Also, after making the changes, all of the green squares in the box preceding Read Only reappeared. I did have two new observations during this try, that I had not observed previously. I noticed that the box in front of Read Only can be changed to a check mark in addition to the green square and blank. I really don't know what the difference is between the green square and the check mark, but I tried all three possibilities without success. During the process of making the square blank in front of Read Only and clicking Apply, I was confronted by a second window. On that window I clicked OK to Apply changes to this folder, sub-folders and files. At that point is where I observed something that I hadn't seen before. On Documents and Settings and the Frog folder, I observed a Confirm Attribute Changes window (where I chose Apply changes to this folder, sub-folders and files) followed by another window Applying Attributes). In this window I observed a bar portraying some action being taken. This bar was visible for maybe three seconds and then disappeared. All of the other sub folders to Frog had only the Confirm Attribute Changes window. In any event, I continue to be in the gray

I attempted to change one on them--the change simply reverts back to Read Only. That is why I believe I must be in the wrong place to make the changes. The only thing I did, subsequent to installing 2.0.3, was to establish ICONS on the Desktop for both old and new versions of SeaMonkey, and I copied/pasted, from a USB connected hard drive backup made on 2/15/2010, the start-up information for 1.1.18. The original ICONs and start-up information for 1.1.18 was removed by Seamonkey 2.0.3 asit was being installed. I have done nothing, other than the two ICONs (browser and mail) for 2.0.3 since it was installed. Frog -What role does the Profile play with regard to Mail and Newsgroup Account settings? It appears that my accounts completed migration from 1.1.18 to 2.0.3. I say this because I can see (in gray letters) all of my accounts in the Go drop down window. I can also open up my default profile on 2.0.3 and find all of my accounts listed. I have used every other aspect of the new SeaMonkey 2.0.3 software, that I routinely use, and have found no other problems. I can download personal mail, can access the web, can delete mail, can compose mail, can open mail, etc. I can do everything I routinely do on 2.0.3, that I previously did on 1.1.18. The big problem, however, is my inability to access newsgroups as I did on the old system. That is why making the Go button on the mail page work is so important. That is where I would click the newsgroup I wanted to visit. Clicking an item in the drop down window would close the account previously in use and open the new account. The bottom line at this point is-- I don't know whether to remove 2.0.3 and reload the software, create a new profile or make a change in about:config (with instructions). I think that sums up where I am at this point. I sure hope

Might this have been from a CD?? If so, the files copied from CD's may have been marked as Read-Only, which might explain why you are getting these results. Close All versions of SeaMonkey and if you have the SM quick start icon down near the Start button turn it off as well. Now open you Windows File Manager and go to the profile that you are having troubles with and right click on the inbox file and have a look at its properties to see if it is marked as Read-Only. If it is, un-check it and do likewise for the other files in the profile, then go up a level and check and un-check those files, and go up a leveluntil you reach a level where they are not marked as Read-Only Have fun. Daniel Thanks for the message--- As I said in my earlier messages, my technical knowledge is limited. Before I do something not so smart I will ask my questions. Are you referring to Windows Explorer when you say Windows File Manager? That seems like a reasonable assumption and the one I would make. If so, all of the entries there from SeaMonkey through all of my accounts are Read Only. I attempted to change one on them--the change simply reverts back to Read Only. That is why I believe I must be in the wrong place to make the changes. If the profile is located on a CD, you can't change file attributes. If it's on an ordinary hard disk drive, you should be able to. My profile for 1.1.18 is on my C: hard drive. The new migrated (default) profile for 2.0.3 is also on my C: hard drive. I have nothing associated with either version that is on a CD. I do have a Feb. 15 complete backup of my internal hard drive (C: and E: drives)on a USB external hard drive. With SeaMonkey closed, of course... In Windows Explorer, select the profile directory (the one above .slt, where is a random assortment of numbers and letters) and right-click the folder name. One of the options should be Properties. Choose that. The dialog that appears should have checkboxes as follows: Attributes: [ ] Read-only [Advanced...] [ ] Hidden Click the Read-only check box once to clear it, or more than once if necessary, but don't double-click it. Then click the Apply button at the bottom. Windows will prompt you, asking whether to apply the change only to the folder itself, or to the folder and all its contents. Tell it to apply the change to all the contents. After a minute of thinking, it should mark each and every file and subdirectory within the profile as read-only. You don't have to go through hundreds or thousands of files one at a time by hand. This process does not work on my system. I made the changes as you suggested. After making the change, I went back to see if the Read Only was deselected. To my surprise, the Read Only was again selected. I attempted to make this change several times with the same results. I then made a visit to 1.1.18 and Read Only was also selected in this version, and the items in the drop down window under Go were black and respond to my mouse clicks.

SNIP The following is the remaining part of this call for help that has not been answered. I thought it might help to get everything else out of the way, so it would be easier for people to get to my problem. Here is that problem and some of my comments. Frog wrote: Background: I decided to install SeaMonkey 2.0.3 on my system yesterday. I also intend to keep SeaMonkey 1.1.18 installed on my system. I allowed the 2.0.3 software to be installed in the default locations--I made absolutely no changes to this process. My operating system is Windows XP SP3. Problem 1: I am having a problem with the entries listed under Go when I am looking at the 2.0.3 mail window. Here is the problem: When I click Go at the top of the screen (the line just under the blue banner)I see the following: Next Previous ___ Mail Start Page ___ f...@pond.com Local Folders Microsoft Help Mozilla Help etc. All of the letters for Next and Previous are in black letters and the remainder of the entries are in gray letters. I need to know how to make the gray letters black so that I can click on them--so that they will take me to the items clicked. Any suggestions? I have used a big part of my day today reading web pages/old messages etc. in an attempt to find the answer to my problem--no joy. I now have a few questions, that reach far beyond my technical skill level. Here are those questions: -Could it be that some setting is wrong in about:config. Don't get excited about my doing any changes in this area--I know better until some technically smart person informs me what I should do. I just was wondering, if my problem might be in this area. -Why is it that I cannot find any information about the Go button that exists on the Mail page? I thought maybe I could come to a conclusion about the source of my problem--possibly a corrupt profile or an error in the 2.0.3 software download. -What role does the Profile play with regard to Mail and Newsgroup Account settings? It appears that my accounts completed migration from 1.1.18 to 2.0.3. I say this because I can see (in gray letters) all of my accounts in the Go drop down window. I can also open up my default profile on 2.0.3 and find all of my accounts listed. I have used every other aspect of the new SeaMonkey 2.0.3 software, that I routinely use, and have found no other problems. I can download personal mail, can access the web, can delete mail, can compose mail, can open mail, etc. I can do everything I routinely do on 2.0.3, that I previously did on 1.1.18. The big problem, however, is my inability to access newsgroups as I did on the old system. That is why making the Go button on the mail page work is so important. That is where I would click the newsgroup I wanted to visit. Clicking an item in the drop down window would close the account previously in use and open the new account. The bottom line at this point is-- I don't know whether to remove 2.0.3 and reload the software, create a new profile or make a change in about:config (with instructions). I think that sums up where I am at this point. I sure hope somebody will come to my aid before I go crazy--if I'm not already there.
