You're talking about SeaMonkey 1.1.2 right? Just wondering because of Bug 383938 (which was trunk-only).

Edson,

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?

Hello guys!
I've had this problem (or at least similar) and found a temporary solution.
On my system (OpenSUSE, Thunderbird 2.0.0.4) I had the error:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff
(NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsISpamSettings.initialize]"  nsresult: "0x8000ffff
(NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://messenger/content/AccountManager.js :: saveAccount :: line 648"  data:
no]
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/AccountManager.js
Line: 648

There I found a line that says:

 // if we made account changes to the spam settings, we'll need to re-initialize
 // our settings object
 if (server && server.spamSettings)
    server.spamSettings.initialize(server);

Now this line, that wants to initialize the spamSettings (AFAIK), is sometimes broken. In my case, I can reproduce this bug with just browsing around the settings window (vieweing settings a lot, like 20 or more pages), and then the OK button is broken, and the error comes. So my solution wants to be, to put a try - catch in this line like this:

 // if we made account changes to the spam settings, we'll need to re-initialize
 // our settings object
 if (server && server.spamSettings) {
    try {
        server.spamSettings.initialize(server);
    } catch(err) {
        // Handle errors here, or at least inform the user to restart
        //hunderbird to make Spam settings work as he just set it up.
    }
 }

I hope I could help,
regards
Gregory
