1052396 - Error after creating profile (while there are still no accounts): "Error in setting AccountCentral Items: TypeError: server is null"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Thunderbird 34.0a1 20140723 and Thunderbird 31.0 on Windows 8.1

Remote debugging shows the following error in the console after creating a new Thunderbird profile:

Error in setting AccountCentral Items: TypeError: server is null
 msgAccountCentral.js:205

Reason for this:
folderDisplay.js call this._showAccountCentral() in http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/base/content/folderDisplay.js#1656

which calls msgAccountCentral.xul+js: http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/base/content/folderDisplay.js#1677

whose OnInit function calls ArrangeAccountCentralItems with null as server:
