360 <para>There are two methods you can use to install the
361 <application>Enigmail</application> extension. Both are shown here and
362 provide similar functionality with one major difference. The first
363 method will install the extension system-wide and all users of SeaMonkey
364 will have an Enigmail-enabled mail client. The method shown later only
365 installs it on a per-user basis. The first method must be accomplished
366 now (before the object directory is removed) and uses the conventional
367 <command>make install</command> command to install the
368 <application>Enigmail</application> files straight from the distribution
369 directory of the object directory. The alternate method is shown as it
370 installs using the <filename class='extension'>.xpi</filename> file
371 created earlier and can be done later (at any time you desire) as the
372 file used to install <application>Enigmail</application> was copied into
373 <filename
374 class='directory'>/usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version;/xpi_store</filename>
375 in the previous step. This method can be used to install any
376 downloaded <application>Mozilla</application> extension distributed in a
377 <filename class='extension'>.xpi</filename> file. There are many
378 extensions available for <application>SeaMonkey</application>. A list
379 containing many of them can be found at
380 <ulink url="http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/"/>.</para>
381
382 <para>If you want to install the <application>Enigmail</application>
383 extension now, which offers system-wide access, issue the following

385
386<screen role="root"><userinput>make -C ../seamonkey-build/mailnews/extensions/enigmail install</userinput></screen>
387
388 <para>To install an extension from a created or download
389 <filename class='extension'>.xpi</filename> file, you simply need to
390 <quote>open</quote> the <filename class='extension'>.xpi</filename> file
391 using the <quote>Open File</quote> option of the <quote>File</quote>
392 menu of the browser window. You can browse to find the file (for example,
393 the <application>Enigmail</application>
394 <filename class='extension'>.xpi</filename> file is located in
395 <filename

397 select it, then follow the prompts to install the extension.</para>

484 file to get initial configuration and setup parameters, then depending on

521 refer to <ulink url="http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html">Mozdev's

530 <para>Some packages install SeaMonkey plugins into the default system-wide
531 directory <filename class='directory'>/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins</filename>.
532 If desired, create symbolic links in the <application>SeaMonkey</application>
533 plugin directory
534 <filename class='directory'>/usr/lib/seamonkey-&seamonkey-version;/plugins</filename>
535 to the files in the default plugin directory (you should link to the actual
536 files and not other links). Alternatively, you can move or copy the files
537 in the default plugin directory to the
538 <application>SeaMonkey</application> plugin directory. An example of creating
539 a symbolic link is shown below. Create the links as the
540 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

545 <para>Along with using the <quote>Preferences</quote> menu to configure
546 <application>SeaMonkey</application>'s options and preferences to suit
547 individual tastes, finer grain control of many options is only available
548 using a tool not available from the general menu system. To access this
549 tool, you'll need to open a browser window and enter
550 <systemitem role='url'>about:config</systemitem> in the
551 address bar. This will display a list of the configuration preferences and
552 information related to each one. You can use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar
553 to enter search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a
554 preference can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a
555 boolean value (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle
556 the value and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired
557 line, choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value.
558 Creating new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except
559 choose <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into
560 the fields when prompted.</para>
561
562 <tip>
563 <para>There is a multitude of configuration parameters you can tweak to
