251221 - creating multiple email accounts creates counter-intutive profile directory names

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 251217

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Markus F. Robinson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707

ENHANCEMENT: When creating multiple email accounts for a commercial web site,
the associated directory names in my profile are given un-useful names
<incoming-mail-server-name>-<#>.< incoming-mail-server-name-extension>
(based upon whatever one sets as the incoming server name), that I have to map
to their actual email addresses.  It would be great if the associated
directories have names that map to their accounts more usefully so that later if
one is trying to migrate the associated <account> and <account>.msf files to
another instance of the email browser, it is more intuitive.  Here is an example
of the mapping that I have to keep track of in order to know what the files in
the sub-directories actually hold.
·	mail.icosavillage-1.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-2.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-3.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-4.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-5.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-6.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-7.net == [e-mail]


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
just create multiple email accounts
Actual Results:  
get the following mapping
.       mail.icosavillage-1.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-2.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-3.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-4.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-5.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-6.net == [e-mail]
·	mail.icosavillage-7.net == [e-mail]


Expected Results:  
Something like <account_name>-<incoming-mail-server> so that the mapping is
intuitive.  e.g.

·	careers-icosavillage.net == [e-mail]
·	distributor-icosavillage.net == [e-mail]
·	investor-icosavillage.net == [e-mail]
·	payment-icosavillage.net == [e-mail]
·	relieforg-icosavillage.net == [e-mail]
·	sales-icosavillage.net == [e-mail]
·	unsubscribe-icosavillage.net == [e-mail]
