Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, enhancement)

Description

[Randy Mitchell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0

Entering OLD information required by known or workable info in Mozilla Firefox and requested by SeaMonkey's mail and newsgroups setup procedures.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Window..Mail and Newsgroups
2.Mail server info required...already asked for and entered in Mozilla Firefox.....Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.6

3.stop



Expected Results:  
You should be able to import all email settings, mail server and outgoing  mail services from your previously installed Mozilla Firefox browser and include it in the SeaMonkey suite...

I'm using the original Mozilla Firefox browser and Outlook Express settings to receive my email and everything works as expected...so I'm staying with this setup and not SeaMonkey's email setup...I hope you improve this....thanks

I'm not sure what info you've entered into firefox ... firefox has never asked me for anything to do with email. Did you mean mozilla suite, rather than firefox? If so, I seem to recall Seamonkey importing mozilla suite's mail account and newsgroup settings, but I may be mistaken.

Note that firefox and mozilla suite/seamonkey are separate programs. I'd rather programs not guess what settings they should import from each other (if any at all).

Maybe the reporter meant Thunderbird -> duplicate of Core bug 306175?

Patch.....re-entered all relevent info for incoming and outgoing mail from my ISP's mail server into the SeaMonkey's mail account setup....everything works fine now...I used Outlook Express before to receive my mail and now I use the dedicated mail service from my NEW setup in  SeaMonkey mail settings....working fine thankyou

No specific bug / patch referenced as the fix.  (Looks like a procedural issue anyway.)

-> WORKSFORME
