I'm extremely disappointed in Seamonkey 2.0. The mail program bugs
are too severe to warrant continued use. I've come to expect better
from Mozilla releases. I didn't use Firefox or Thunderbird because I
didn't like the "feel" and they weren't integrated as a suite. Now
Seamonkey has lost it's original feel. Things that I liked about
Seamonkey are gone (quick launch, quick mail filter 'clear' button).
I've reported two or three of the glaring problems (folder listings
disappearing, compact related issues). Until the major bugs are fixed,
I'll stick with version 1.18.
I really do understand your frustration. To be completely honest with
you, you can certainly return to 1.1.18. But you do have to realize
that you are sticking with a complete dead end.
You can do that. Heck there are people out there still running the last
version of the Mozilla suite, Netscape 7.2, even a few still trying to
get Communicator to work. The older the abandoned product gets, the less
functional it becomes.
For a good while, probably quite a while, 1.1.18 will continue to work,
and work quite well. But the days are numbered and the clock is
ticking. I doubt that you will see any security updates for the 1.1 line.
If you value the suite approach, and if you want to have a product that
is going to carry you into the future with any certainty, making 2.0
work is the only real way to go.
The only other real option is to go Firefox/Thunderbird. Its a good
option, but I am willing to bet that you will have just as much
conversion problems going that route as you will staying with SeaMonkey.
I am sorry this has been so difficult for you.

I believe that the biggest problem, is that bugs are most of the time
never solved. Or ..too late. Per exemple did you expect a good date for
the patch to solve the copy/cut problem
