114107 - Mail account settings lost/reset to default

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 114299

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Guy Hutchison]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6+) Gecko/20011207
BuildID:    2001120708

Under some situations, some account settings are reset to default values.  The
settings under "Copies and Folders" frequently reset to "Click here to select an
account"

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create at least 2 IMAP email accounts
2. Enable S/MIME security on one account (not sure if req'd)
3. Open Edit|Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings
4. Select "Copies and Folders" for one account
5. Select "Place a copy..." if not selected
6. Select new option from drop-down menu (e.g. Local Folders)
7. Close options window with "OK"
8. Re-open account settings window


Actual Results:  All destinations for "Place a copy", "Drafts", and "Templates"
reset to "Click here to select an account" or to settings set in previous
version of Mozilla.

Expected Results:  New options for accounts changed should remain at the new
values.  Options for other accounts should not be affected.

Problem occurred after playing around with S/MIME settings for various accounts.
 Also, settings window will occasionally cease to responding to all input other
than "OK" and "Cancel" buttons -- selecting any of the settings windows in the
left-hand list will not change the right-hand pane, and twistys in left-hand
list do not function.  Once in this state, hitting either "OK" or "Cancel" has
no effect other than to close the window, but since this behavior intermingles
with above behavior of resetting account selections, it is difficult to
determine if changes take effect regardless.
