That's simple: tells absolutely nothing, no entries in Error Console.

Not a new problem, already reproducible with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20120604 Firefox/13.0 SeaMonkey/2.10, may be more early

Yes, I'm stuck with this refrigerator experiment for the moment. XP Pro SP2 and a few updates.

Please see my comments in "Bug 1278152 Context menu does not open for multiple highlighted news-servers, newsgroups; e-mail-accounts."
ANY action is impossible for multi-selection. All this works fine in TB.

Note Well:  This is NOT a problem in Thunderbird 45.1.1.  It appears to be strictly a SeaMonkey MailNews problem.

Some improvement observed with installation of unofficial (by wg9s) De SeaMonkey 2.53.13 beta 1 pre Mozilla/5.0 (NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0 Build 20220608203253 (Newly created User Profile Default Classic Theme) on German WIN10 64bit:

Nor rightclick in step(4) (originalreport)shows up a context menu with 2 items "mark as read" and "compress" folders.

[Rainer Bielefeld]

Situation has changed, we now have options

• Compress
• Mark as read
  So WFM for now

For still missing Items see "Add some options to context menu for multiple selected folders, email-accounts, newsservers"
