 Recently I've noticed that seamonkey -mail, Pidgin and tor-resolve have
 stopped working with Tor.
 Im confused as to why 'seamonkey -browser' does work with foxyproxy but
 'seamonkey -mail' does not. Perhaps it has something to do with tor
 accepting http/https protocols but not smtp/imap protocols?

 foxyproxy gives ERROR MESSAGE: "exception while determining which host to
 use for proxying"
 tor-resolve gives ERROR MESSAGE: "Error while connecting to SOCKS host:
 Connection refused"

 An extract of the Pidgin Debug Window:
