I have two more running Win 7, one Home Premium on a desktop and the other Ultimate on a laptop.
First, on either Win 7 computer, I cannot get anything under Edit that says Mail & Newsgroup settings. I first have to select Window and then Mail & Newsgroup before Edit allows me to get to Mail & Newsgroup settings. Second, after getting to Mail & Newsgroup Settings and clicking on Add Account, I get the 3 option screen on my desktop running Win 7 Home Premium using the Default profile. However, on the laptop running Win 7 Ultimate and a custom profile, I get the same screen as the OP. I don't get 3 choices. I don't know why that is. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
