   I am running Linux and SeaMonkey is able to download messages etc. so I cannot   
   see that there is any read-only restriction in the file system itself.   
   Googling I found that this has been a long-standing bug in Thunderbird which   
   possibly means that this is    
   also a SeaMonkey bug? If correct, I am surprised it has not been fixed?
