   Netscape was a big, it had lots of security and bug   
   problems, and most of them were fixed with SM.   
      
   SM picks up and starts using your Netscape profile.  There   
   is no need to create a new one just for SM.  Further, SM is   
   a separate program, it doesn't not use the TB or anyother   
   programs profile.   
      
   As for sending, close the program, open your firewall and   
   remove all the Netscape and SeaMonkey entries.  Restart SM.   
     Does it work now?
