Re: Seamonkey Requesting user name and password for newsgroups
On 2/8/2010 8:36 PM PT, Cruz, Jaime typed: This just started yesterday. Every time I start Seamonkey it requests that I input the user name and password for access to the newsgroups. I haven't done anything to Seamonkey recently. Same thing happened here on two separate computers accessing the same newsgroup server (Giganews). Note that I access the newsgroups from BOTH machines at least once each day. My main desktop computer was first and it's been so long that I've had to enter the userid and password that I'd forgotten it (and it had mysteriously vanished from the saved passwords on that computer). Fortunately I was able to look this information up on my laptop. Then, about a month later, the laptop started asking for the same userid and password. Thanks to the desktop failure previously I had this information on hand and written down. I've been using Giganews for over two years (since Verizon caved into the NYSAG's office and decided that since ANY news group could hide child pornography they'll eliminate access to damn near ALL of them) and this is the FIRST time this has happened. I have this problem and reported this in the newsgroup, but no luck on the fix. I get two prompts since I do not want SM2 to remember my login datas.

Any ideas? TIA Eric A similar thing has been happening since I updated to SM 2.0.2. I follow newsgroups from 4 servers: Cox, GRC, Mozilla, & Mozdev. A single user name/password requester appears when I first open SM Mail & Newsgroups. I cancel or close the requester without entering anything, then the messages from all the servers except Mozdev download normally. The single Mozdev newsgroup may just be inactive. All the servers have the same settings except for the server names. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Lee This is happening on my ISP (Kinda) Server. I connect via Verizon but support efn.org a local grassroots organization that provides internet service. Anyway I don't have the settings requiring authorization on connecting and I'm using port 119 and the connection security selection is none. Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit DSL 128K Seamonkey 2.0.2 So far as I know, Verizon has discontinued newsgroup access, so your answer does not compute ;) In SM 2.0.2, you must have at least one newsgroup account set up. For example, to post here, one would expect that you ahve an account set up for news.mozilla.org. You may have others, there are several free and paid news servers out there, but Verizon no longer supplies one. So, on which account or accounts are you ahving this problem? Is it here on news.mozilla.org, on another account, or on all accounts? Lee I use News Eternal-September and it happened to me,. I fiddle and fiddled, in the end it started to work. Sadly I had b*ggered about so much I don't know what actually cured it. Initially I put in the correct name and password, but it still failed. -- Please reply to group,emails to designated address are never read. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
