No need to thank me, I didn't write it, I just suggested it. :)
To answer your question, see this: http://blog.kamens.us/send-later/#server-side According to the author of 'Send Later' it is possible to setup a server-side solution using the add-on, I just haven't done it myself since I feel comfortable (for the most part) leaving SM open while not around, so I can't say with certainty what the difficulty level is to do it. I did glance at the instructions, it looks quite easy to do, however. Here's a suggestion for you: Maybe use a spare computer and keep it locked with a password? It's just a thought. And as for added security, if you write to the same people all the time and are concerned about prying eyes, which it sounds to be and, imo, smart to be that way, you should maybe look into using Enigmail for SM. It's also a nice way to push your friends, family and clients (if applicable) into thinking more independently and protecting your private conversations, especially those people you communicate with on an on-going basis, regardless if it's 'secret information' being shared or not. I do have one caveat about using Enigmail: If you test or use Enigmail, you need to make sure you never, ever forget your pass phrase!! If you do, you are S-O-L. Other than that, I have yet to find an article telling me the encryption has been broken or any back-doors written in, so, in my eyes, it's a perfect way to give Big Brother (NSA) and it's cohorts (Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc, etc) the middle finger any day of the week, because now you're messages are completely private and encrypted from you until they reach your recipient and they decide to have them unencrypted using your password. So here's the link to the Enigmail Project: https://www.enigmail.net/home/index.php I hope it helps. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
