102248 - prevent the scenario where local folder is the default account, if possible.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

we want to prevent the scenario where local folder is the default account, if 
possible.

1) when you delete the default account, we need to choose the first pop or imap 
account for the default account.  if there is none, we should pick local 
folders.

2) on adding an imap or pop account, we should check the default account.
if the default account is not an imap or pop account, we should reset
the default account to the first imap or pop account we find.

we may also want to add code to fix the default account on existing profiles, 
racham and I can work on these issues when we get time.

note, instead of checking for type == imap or pop, we should have an attribute 
on nsIMsgIncomingServer that indicates if the server can be used a default 
account.

I'm not sure if all all imap / pop3 servers can be default accounts.  (like 
webmail?  aol mail?)
