I just installed SeaMonkey 2.46 on my 27" iMac under MacOS 10.9.5, and have
gotten SM to mostly work, but there are some problems:
1. My ISP requires a password to post email to the SMTP server, but I have not
figured out how to enter such a password. An email client that cannot post
email isn't much use, so one assumes that there is a solution. In this case, I
knew that I had not been able to enter a password, but I won't be that lucky in
the future.
When you attempt to send a message, SeaMonkey will prompt you for the
password. There will be a checkbox to remember that password. It's the
same password manager used in the browser.
Use as a newsgroup reader is also greatly hindered, because one cannot sent
email replies, or save copies of postings as emails to self.
To send an email reply, control-click on the message, and select "Reply
to Sender Only". There's also a small arrow beside the Reply toolbar
icon, that will let you choose whether to reply in the newsgroup or to
the sender only.
To save a copy of a newsgroup article, you can either:
* drag the message to any mail folder
* control-click on the message and select "Copy To"
* On the menu bar, go to the Message menu and select "Copy To"
* Add the "File" toolbar icon to the toolbar, and click on it to copy
the message to a folder.
2. Is there a log file that records the chit-chat between SM and the email
and/or news servers. This is essential for troubleshooting problems like why
my attempts to sent email never complete.
I think there is, but I can't find the preference right now. Hoping
someone else can look it up. :)
3. While I have no problem changing the font size in the body of messages and
postings, I have not found a way to change the size of text in such things as
the list of messages; this makes SM very difficult to use an a large
high-resolution display.
Try the instructions at <http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/mailnewsfaq/PaneText>.
I haven't tested that in years, so tell me if it doesn't work.
