Installed latest Oct18th build from mozillazine.org (involved un-installing
Oct15th completely).
Mozilla broswer comes up and normal, but Messenger 5x has extra pane above
column headings and no acces to config'ed mail/news accounts.
I know this isn't tech. support -- but this is a) a bug, and b) something
probably others will encounter ... please help.

Summary: HELP -- extra pane in Messenger 5x and broken → extra pane in Messenger 5x and broken account access(!!!)
additional info.
I always follow same procedure when updating Mozilla rev (win2kpro-sp2).
1) wait for 'thumbs up' opinion on build from mozillazine
2) un-install existing bld - remove sub-folder(s) of /prog
files/mozilla.com/Mozilla
3) install of new bld.
This procedure has worked without problem for months. For some reason, the
latest Oct18th build displayed the issue I describe. I un-installed the
software (oct18th) and re-installed Oct15th and problem still existed.
Thus, I assume something bogus is being stored in either local prefs file and/or
registry.
-GA
voila -- repeatable...
1) remove mozilla
2) delete profile director under c:\docs and set\<uid>\app data\mozilla (this
will leave disk and registry out of sync)
3) install Mozilla oct 23rd build off mozillazine
4) remove previous profile from profile manager (to sync registry -- see above)
5) concert Communicator profile
6) un-install Mozilla Oct23 (b/c quote reply text doesn't work ..doah)
7) install Mozilla oct 15th
8) open messenger and will have extra pane above msg column headings
-GA
additional note -- the fix involves Mozilla uninstall and deletion of profile
directory. The problem does persist through un-install/re-install. Thus, I
suspect issue resides in local settings in profile.
yet again --

Had Oct18th Mozillazine rec. running. Un-install. Install Oct 29th OTIS S/MIME
build to check functionality (no new features/gui but seems to work).
Un-install. Re-install same Oct18th build and voila ...hork-ville.
Something must be saved to profile preferences because subsequent un-install
re-install doesn't fix. Unfortunately, I don't know preference file and can't
determine where issue lies.
I'll copy and upload pref.js and libprefs.js upon request. -GA

Marking dup of later bug 106021 as it has a patch. Deleting xul.mfl in your
profile directory should correct the problem.
