This is a two-part bug. If you think the parts are unrelated, I'll be happy to split them. Part 1: 1) I downloaded nightly build 2001110121. 2) I opened MailNews. My IMAP account had vanished from the list of mail/news accounts on the left panel of the MailNews window. My two Usenet servers were still present. 3) I restarted Mozilla -- no change. I reverted to build 20011023 -- no change. Part 2: I re-entered my information using the Account Wizard. When I reached the last panel ("Please verify that the information below is correct"), the "Finish" button didn't work. This behavior is similar to bug 100414, but the circumstances are different. The upshot is that I can't do mail with Mozilla. I can access the IMAP server using PINE, so the problem isn't a dead server. Additional information: 1) Mozilla spewed a bunch of debugging information during account creation. I didn't see any errors in the spew, but I'll attach the spew to this bug. 2) My prefs.js file contains lots of information related to this account, and there is a directory in ImapMail/ for this server.
Summary: IMAP account settings lost; "Finish → IMAP account settings lost; "Finish" button on Account Wizard broken
I am seeing similar behavior in Build 20011209 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120). I can't create any sort of account using IMAP. 1. Open Mail&News via Tasks 2. Choose File > New > Account 3. "ISP or Mail Account" 4. Next 5. Name: Gene Skonicki, Email: gene@imsa.edu 6. Next 7. Choose the IMAP radio button and entered 'staffmail.imsa.edu' as teh SErver name. Click Next. 8. Next with Username of 'gene' 9. Next with account name of 'gene@imsa.edu' 10. Click Finish as everythign looks good. Nothing happens unfortunately. I expect the wizard to close and to get a enw account. The Finish button becomes selected but doesn't actually finish anything. Even more interesting is that, after choosing a server type of POP for test purposes, things still don't work (this is in the same wizard session), but the server type shows up as "FALSE". Very peculiar. I imagine there's some sort of corruption happening.
I can reproduce with 2002012608 Win2k
I can't reproduce this with #2002040422 There has been changes to the wizards since those builds. Is anybody still seeing this problem with a latest nightly?
