[Ernie Feleppa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051203 SeaMonkey/1.5a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051203 SeaMonkey/1.5a

Successfully installed SeaMonkey 1.5a and like it.  It is on a Win XP SP2 Intel-CPU computer.  SeaMonkey Mail launches at startup w/o being requested, then when exit, restarts w/o being requested.  Sometimes, can "fool" it by opening Navigator, closing Mail, then closing Navigator.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot computer
2. SeaMonkey Mail launches
3. Attempt to exit SeaMonkey Mail
4. Exit succeeds for several seconds
6. SeaMonkey Mail re-launches

Actual Results:  
Turn on & boot the computer, see SeaMonkey Mail launch.

Exit SeaMonkey, see SeaMonkey Mail re-launch.

Expected Results:  
Turn on and boot computer; do NOT see SeaMonkey Mail launch.

Exit SeaMonkey Mail; do NOT see SeaMonkey Mail re-launch.

SeaMonkey launches without displaying profile options.  (I use 2 different profiles.)  I only can switch profiles from within SeaMonkey, wh/ does not switch Address Books.

Under the top-level menu of "Appearance" in Edit | Preferences, is "Mail & Newsgroups" checked under "When SeaMonkey starts up, open"?

Do you have the Quick Launch option active? 

Edit -> Preferences - Advanced: Quick Launch [x] Keep SM in memory ...

Disable that and restart. Seems to be a dupe of Bug 310409. For you it restarts Mailnews because I guess you have the option from comment 1 enabled.

from reporter:
I tried your suggestion, and it didn't help.  However, uninstalling and reinstalling solved the problem completely. 

So resolving. Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce it with current builds.
