Build 2002091014 As said (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153300), I am a roaming user therefore, I am forced to have multiple smtp outgoing mail accounts and newsfeeds. When I open the "Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings", it appears that only newsgroup accounts can be set as default. Therefore, my questions are: 1) Shouldn't the button be renamed from "Set as Default" to "Set as Default Newsgroup Account". After all there is a separate Mail Account - Advanced button for SMTP default settings 2) As mentioned for a roaming user, it would be very convenient to able to tie the two, i.e. the SMTP and Newsfeed default 3) Also, as reported in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162453, since I am now forced to choose a start-up profile, couldn't this be used for this purpose - I do not see a list saying: for each account whether it is default for one profile and not for another?

Newsgroup accounts can't be the default account (canBeDefaultServer for NNTP-servers returns false). The button "Set As Default" isn't disabled for such accounts, which is a bug. > 1) Shouldn't the button be renamed from "Set as Default" to "Set as Default > Newsgroup Account".

This would be an enhancement request for product Browser, component Profile Manager FrontEnd. Marking INVALID, since issue 1 is INVALID, issue 2 is WFM and issue 3 doesn't belong here and should better be filed as a clean report for the right component, if this functionality is still desired. Please report only one issue per bugzilla entry.
