When several accounts are established you need to be able to change settings on
all of them in succession without having to reopen the Junk Mail Controls every
time.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Junk Mail Controls
2. make changes for account selected
3. press OK
Actual Results:  
4. Junk Mail Controls close

Expected Results:  
4. Junk Mail Controls to stay open, to enable successive action.

Addition of an "activate" Button or message box checking wether another account
is to be administered would help.

You can just select the account you want to modify in the Account-dropdown and
ultimatly press OK once when you are ready with all accounts.

Doesn't this work? It definitly works for me with a Linux build from today.

Mozilla 1.7.7 OK button on Junk Mail Controls dialog does not dismiss the
dialog.  I checked and the prefs.js file seems to have been updated byt the OK
button appears to do nothing.

If I hit the Cancel button is dismisses the dailog but I would have expect the
changes I had made in the dialog to not be applied, but they were.

This is really bad (aka., non-intuitive behavior).

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
