User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/44.0.2403.157 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: Reproducible (on my system). Install Thunderbird 38.2.0 (upgrading from previous much older (10.0.2) installation) Go to Menu | Options | Options screen, Advanced tab, General subtab Actual results: Text "Message Store Type for new accounts" has un-selectable (grayed-out) select menu against it with default entry "One large file (Mbox)" Expected results: TB "should have" permitted choice between maildir and mbox (This was why I upgraded in the first place! Once I have this I can "manually" move all my 17Gb of archived emails into a new maildir account, then move them back once I've deleted and recreated the original account... on my google searches this seems to be the only way to convert mbox to maildir?) Does not seem precisely to fit any of "triage" options, sorry.

This is expected and intentional, because major problems were found. It will be re-enabled when it's in better shape.
