162245 - Trashed prefs.js on startup, multiple connection & email

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 193638

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[Victor Shiff]

Added a cable modem (adelphia, Motorola SB4100) to a setup with a dial-up
connection (ATT worldnet using XP's DUN).  This worked fine for a few days then
starting Mozilla 1.1b, build ID:2002072104. I get an error box when starting
reporting an error in the startup file:

Line 114: SyntaxError: syntax error.user_pref("mail.directory", "C:\\Documents
and Settings\\V. Shiff\\Application
Data\\Mozilla\\Profiles\\v-2.shiff\\x7briujj.slt\\Mail");

I set up 2 POP accounts with the new one the default outgoing server.  All my
mail setup stuff and saved mail - news folders are not accesable.

Other lines in the Parfs.js file with similar contents include:

Line 116: user_pref("mail.identity.id1.stationery_folder",
"mailbox://vshiff%2Fmail%2Flocalhost.identity.id1.stationery_folder");%2Fuser_pref("mail.identity.id1.stationery_folder",
"mailbox:@localhost//vshiff%2Fmail%2Flocalhost.identity.id1.stationery_folder");

and

Line 118: user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fcc_folder",
"mailbox://vshiff%2Fmail%2Flocalhost.identity.id1.fcc_folder");%2Fuser_pref("mail.identity.id1.fcc_folder",
"mailbox:@localhost//vshiff%2Fmail%2Flocalhost.identity.id1.fcc_folder");

and

Line 124: user_pref("mail.identity.id1.stationery_folder",
"mailbox://vshiff%2Fmail%2Flocalhost.identity.id1.stationery_folder");%2Fuser_pref("mail.identity.id1.stationery_folder",
"mailbox:@localhost//vshiff%2Fmail%2Flocalhost.identity.id1.stationery_folder");

I tried copying over the Perfs.JS and the Perfs.PC8 with saved copies from
before the error and the added connection.  Still no luck and the error is
repeated.  An uninstall and reinstall with the saved copies of the Perfs files
repeated the error.  QuickLaunch is not enabled, win XP is up to date with MS
Windows update.

I had to setup MS outlook to set up an account to get the password for bug
reporting.
