(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

How many f***ing years do we have to wait for you guys to focus on this
IMPORTANT feature instead of the other cosmetic ****?

You can't edit the Server Type once an account is set up, nor can you 
change the SMTP per account.  

I'm suspecting some kind of brain damage at Mozilla.org--are you guys 
retarded or what?  Is it a complete lack of understanding of how easy 
Outlook Express is compared to Mozilla/Netscape account management?

Sorry to poop on your parade, but for chrysfugginshakes get this sh** fixed.  
I have been waiting for f***ing YEARS to see if you guys will ever get this 
fixed and now, thinking that SURELY you would have done so, IT STILL ISN'T
FIXED.  I'm going back to Outlook Express until you guys pull your heads out.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  After setting up an account, no change can be made to the Server Type
2.  Can't configure incoming/outgoing server settings per account
3.  The application team didn't use Outlook Express to see how to do this easily.

Actual Results:  
I got extremely **** off after waiting and waiting for f***ing YEARS of
Mozilla and Netscape f***ups and ignoring this, and finally had to write in and
rant.

Expected Results:  
1.  Go install Outlook Express and see how easy it is to manage accounts.
2.  Gut the current account manager in Netscape/Mozilla and start over.
3.  Don't bother replying to me with obsequious and moralizing emails that
excuse this sorry-a$$ piece of programming.  Start over and get this fixed for
crying out loud.  Do you think I want to use Outlook forever, waiting for you
guys to get it right?   Why do you think people continue to use Outlook?


I will continue to use Outlook Express for the next 10 years if I have to,
waiting for you fools and tools to get this right.

> 2.  Can't configure incoming/outgoing server settings per account

You can configure your outgoing server. Somehow I don't feel like I want to
explain to you how this works.

Incoming is a dupe of 129055.

Please use the Mailclient you like most and stop filing useless and insulting
bug reports.

Thanks guys for at least reading my bug report, and responding!  

I didn't think you guys would respond, and holy chryzler batman you guys sent me
an email, like getting something from Santa Claus!  I'm so unworthy!

Anyway... I broke down and installed the Mozilla Thunderbird ( Codename:
Mathatma Thunderfug ) email client on my windoze box and it's functional, but
still fugged as fug to set up smtp and other settings.  Really poor interface
design.  Microsoft has you guys beat, Outlook Express is solid, over and done. 

Looking at the bug list and the number of problems with the Mozilla email
machine it looks clear to me a re-write is in order.

Have a great summer you fuggers, and thanks for at the very least reading my
emails ( I'm so not worthy )  and noting that the problem was identified
before--but for some unknown reason the problem wasn't fixed!  It remains a
mystery that this paltry excuse of programming is persisting.  

Go Go Go for the rewrite, and you'll make all of us a lot happier!

Later!

PS I do not do crack, yikes, that's just wrong man, just just wrong!
