I have been a faithful user of SeaMonkey and all its predecessors going
back to the early 1990s. Currently, I have version 1.1.18 installed on
my system and two days ago I downloaded and installed version 2 -
immediately running into an unexpected and totally avoidable problem.
I expected the installation to follow the usual procedure of deleting
the prior working version and overriding the desktop icons, as in prior
upgrades. It did not do so, thereby causing a conflict with incoming
mails which arrived in version 2.0 on the first session right after
installation, then yo version 1.1.18 on the next and subsequent openings
of SeaMonkey Mail, leaving me with mails to be transferred over. I have
not yet fully recovered from this unwarranted problem which an
instruction/warning during the installation and/or during "import" phase
of the installation 2.0 would have prevented, and so would have new
icons on the desktop.
I have one other smaller, but significant problem. While I have not had
much time yet to investigate what has changed besides that some add-ons
no longer work and the look of the icons and smileys is different (the
new smileys are awful!), I did notice right away that the mails status
bar no longer shows that the program is downloading incoming mails. Can
anyone tell me whether that feature will be brought back? I am not a
FireFox/Thunderbird user (I dislike and uninstalled Firefox), and the
loss of this feature may force me to scrap SeaMonkey 2.0 to go back to
1.1.18.
Thank you,
Marisa
