Tested with a Seamonkey Linux trunk build from yesterday. The option to use the Global Inbox is shown in the Account Wizard when you create a Movemail account, though Global Inbox support for Movemail account is currently not available.

The option in Account Wizzard is non-functional. But once you succeeded in setting it up manually, "Global Inbox" itself works fine, even with Movemail and multiple identities. BTW: Identity manager is completely missing for movemail accounts. See also Bug 256971 Following settings WFM: user_pref("mail.account.account1.identities", "id1"); user_pref("mail.account.account1.server", "server1"); user_pref("mail.account.account2.identities", "id2"); user_pref("mail.account.account2.server", "server1"); user_pref("mail.account.account3.identities", "id3"); user_pref("mail.account.account3.server", "server1"); user_pref("mail.accountmanager.accounts", "account1,account2,account3"); user_pref("mail.accountmanager.defaultaccount", "account1"); user_pref("mail.accountmanager.localfoldersserver", "server1"); user_pref("mail.server.server1.hostname", "localhost"); user_pref("mail.server.server1.login_at_startup", true); user_pref("mail.server.server1.name", "Local Folders"); user_pref("mail.server.server1.type", "movemail"); Tested with "thunderbird-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz version 0.7+ (20040825) "

Can you try this, Stefan? Ideally, we would get movemail working with the global inbox, but I don't have a linux machine to try that on, and it's not really supported.

Comment on attachment 160423 [details] [diff] [review] hide that choice from movemail accounts This doesn't work, because movemail isn't treated as a mail account. So isMailAccount.value is false and setServerType() is never called during Movemail account creation. The good news is, when I played with your patch I figured a way how to fix this bug. :-) I'm going to attach a patch in a minute.

The problem was, that there was no way to detect that you are currently creating a movemail account. I added a new kind of accounttype to pageData, so now you can. The patch also deals with hiding the separator between the deferStorage-box and the incomingServer-box, because in the case of movemail, the incomingServer-box is also hidden and thus there is nothing above the separator.

(In reply to comment #8) > fixed on aviary branch Using 2004-10-05 Linux build[1], it seems as if you completely removed the "Use Global Inbox" option instead of giving it the desired functionality. I'm not sure about this because in this build most of the chrome is broken. Maybe it'll be available in one of the next non broken builds? If no, would we have to file a new feature request for getting "Movemail along with Global Inbox"? As I pointed out in comment #1 , that combination works perfectly, but only setting up is a struggle without an interface.

I hope my patch doesn't cause this... I can only check this in 6 hours or so, because I'm at work currently. > If no, would we have to file a new feature request for getting "Movemail along > with Global Inbox"? Yes, this would make sense. > As I pointed out in comment #1 , that combination works > perfectly, but only setting up is a struggle without an interface. Making the hiding of Global Inbox stuff complete was easier for the time being, but ultimately having this functionality for Movemail would be nice of course. Perhaps David can provide a few hints about what needs to be done to achieve this and why he decided to hide the UI.

I guess what you see is bug 262701. At least this is what I see. I wonder how you managed to get to the Account Wizard with this build at all. ;-)

Using today's build[1] unfortunately I can confirm that the option "Golbal Inbox" on setting up Movemail account has definitely disappeared.
