== working on this KB from a SeaMonkey/Linux angle ==
 
Hi.  I started using SeaMonkey on Linux, and am trying to contribute by writing up solutions to some of the problems I'm encountering.
 
I ''think'' this is the right place to put SeaMonkey docs.
*  http://www.seamonkey-project.org/dev/get-involved says to write stuff on http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/ , but that's not intended for end-users.
* support.mozilla.org for SeaMonkey sends you to http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/ which suggests kb.mozillazine.org
 
=== Flagging out-of-date material ===
A lot of the information for SeaMonkey is old Mozilla Suite stuff, and a lot of the Linux information is very old.  I'm pretty sure some of the pages here for Linux are so old to be misleadingly wrong, so what's the best thing to do?  I see you took my
: '' this seems wrong''
and moved it to a talk page.  That's fine, but it is useful to both capture and indicate that a page is wrong or out-of-date without going to the extreme of having lots of user comments and recipes cluttering up wiki articles.
 
Something like [[wikipedia:Template:Out of date]] does this, so I made a simplified version, [[Template:Out of date]] and [[Make external programs in Linux use the right browser|started using it]].
 
Let me know what you think, and how else I can help.
Is there somewhere where kb editors "hang out" or discuss things?

Offline folders

Regarding the page Offline folders, what do you mean by "If you get all of your new mail in the inbox its much simpler to just use a message filter to automatically copy or move any new messages to a folder in the local folders directory." ? Simpler compared to what? --Chealer 17:03, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

I need to reword that. I was talking about somebody who was used to a global inbox with POP accounts and wondering how to get something similar with IMAP accounts. I'll try to update the article (about half of it is still out of date, though you've removed a lot of obsolete stuff) in the next couple of days. Tanstaafl 21:31, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
