228235 - When I delete an account, it is deleted, but an error message appears saying that the account was not deleted.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 230108

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Charlie Harvey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 (20031205)

In the Account Settings window, when I click on "Remove Account" the account
gets removed (I can see it being deleted in the main mail window).  But an alert
message appears proclaiming, "Failed to remove this account".  There is no
error, so I don't know why the Alert window appears.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an e-mail account.
2. When account is created, Remove it.
3. You should see error message.

Actual Results:  
Alert message appeared.

Expected Results:  
Either nothing or told me that the account was succesfully deleted.

I see this as well in Mozilla Suite on win2k (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows
NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20031221).  Further, I think there is some prefs
corruption because you can't add the same account information back in - it says
that it already exists.  Sounds like the delete is not removing all information
for the given account.  Shouldn't there be some kind of sanity check run after
deleting an account to make sure there aren't any orphan settings of the old
account information?  Prefs corruption is a pretty important issue.

How do you mark a bug that affects both Tbird and Suite?

In general, the Tbird bug is closed as a dup of the Suite bug.

In this case, possibly dupe of bug 128744, and bug 173393 is related too.
