I always thought the email part of Seamonkey was the same as Thunderbird so I tried it a few times. While it is a lot like it, it is different. One thing that I have issues with, opening links. I get emails with links from orders I've placed, news articles and other stuff. I'd like them to open in Firefox but since I have several profiles, I can't find a way to open those links and it do so in a certain profile, even if Firefox is already open. Basically, I need to be able to right click on a link and be able to tell it to open the link in a new tab in profile abc for example. Even setting it to a certain profile for all links would be ok. I'd guess 99% of the links I click on would need to open in the 'secure' profile. That is the profile I use for ordering, banking and such. It has a few add-ons that make things more secure. I have containers there that separate certain websites from other things. It's the most used profile. To add info. I have another profile used for watching videos. It is set up to work well with Youtube and other video sites. The add-ons there are for downloading videos and such. I have another profile that I use for torrent stuff. I never use the video or torrent profiles to say login to my bank account, pay bills or anything. I mostly use separate profiles because some add-ons clash with each other. I can't install all the add-ons I need in just one profile. Plus, I can manage the number of open tabs better too. >> I may look into other email sites again.

Well, what I'd like to do, install a email program that fetches the emails and then stores them on my system. Then I can have Thunderbird or any other email program connect to that and view, create, send or whatever emails. Thing is, setting up the first program is complicated. It is a bit over my head. From what I've read, it is pretty picky too. It has to be fairly perfect or things don't work. I'd need a seriously good how to to even get started. It could turn into another long thread like that goofy monitor. :/ I'm at a point where I either dive in and stay out of the water. ROFL Dale :-) :-)
