When activating Manage Identities... from the Accounts Manager only the
currently selected identity is displayed IMHO the button should either read
"Manage Identity..." or there should be a browse dialogue containing all
identities available for editing.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Tools
2. Account Settings
3. Manage Identities

Actual Results:  
Only the current identity is displayed in the browse list

Expected Results:  
All available identities should be available for editing

Reporter, in what version of thunderbird is this? In version 0.7 (20040616), I
can see a list of identities where I can add/edit/delete.

From what I gather the Manage Identies button is so you have different settings 
set under one email address.  Back to my example that I outline in bug 270279, 
I work for an ISP have one identity setup for Billing dept, one for Tech 
Support, and a final one setup for internal email.  I am using Thunderbird 
0.9.  The steps I take to reproduce this is to Create a message, switch the 
account that I am sending the email from, and the To: line gets wiped along 
side with any other field filled exluding From: subject and body.  Now if this 
is supposed to happen there should be a place under Manage Identities for CC: 
and BCC: as this can help people who would benifit from adding CC: or BCC: as 
in my case for example.   Also this bug has the added fact that Under Manage 
Identities there is a section to fill in reply to address, this field seems to 
make no difference as when switching accounts this field is not filled out.  I 
have also tested the Signature check box.  When switching accounts the 
Signature is never placed either.  What is supposed to happen is To: field 
should not be wipped because of the switing of identities the CC: and BCC: 
because there is no option in the identity for those not sure what is supposed 
to happen, the reply to: field is supposed to reflect that of wich is set in 
Identity. And everything else seems to be in order.

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

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.
