For some still unknown reason, such binary settings are sometimes lost. When I encounter this problem with Thunderbird, however, it usually results from a failure in the E-mail server's authentication process. The failure to authenticate then sometimes causes Thunderbird to delete the credentials (ID and password). This situation might also exist in SeaMonkey's MailNews component, which substantially replicates the same Thunderbird component. -- David E.

Why then is mandatory health insurance so bad?? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
