How do I stop automatic updates? When 2.8 was updated, I couldn't get it

got up and turned on the computer and again, the 2.8 update was there.
Luckily I knew what to do, not try to get 2.8 to work but delete it and
get on IE and download 2.7.2 again. I don't want to go through this
every morning...so need to stop the automatic updates.
Is there anyone else, beside me who can't get 2.8 to open?

Not sure if your experience is the same, but I've had a problem with
getting updates to work since somewhere in the 2.x series. Downloads and
"installs" o.k., but when I X out of the opening Release Notes page I
get a message "XUL Runner--Couldn't read application.ini." SM is dead at
that point, but downloading using IE (ugh!) delivers a working copy
for me.
Always save a copy of your profile, as this will save your sanity.
Always save a copy of the installer for the previous version (in your
present case 2.7.2) when you first get it, as this will save finding and
downloading it again if you need it.

SM 2.8 works for me, except the little problem of the cursor changing to
indicate download action occurring when it's basically anywhere on the
mail/NG screen, except for the message display area.
Larry, why do you have to keep downloading SM 2.7.2 each time it updates
to SM 2.8?? Why not download a full version of SM 2.7.2 onto your
hard-drive, so if you have to re-install it, you already have a copy??
Mostly, I don't. (The 2.7.2 to 2.8 reference was commenting on the
experience of the previous poster.) My last several updates failed (see
above), and when the failed upgrade was "installed" it eliminated the
prior version. Guess if I wanted to keep the full version to go back to,
I'd need to install the upgrade in a different location, but I rarely
want to go back. The installer is just there as a last resort.
