257078 - Unable to create Mail accounts

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Wooster]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040825 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Thunder Build: version 0.7+ (20040824) 

Unable to create additional accounts.  For info, theer are  currently three IMAP
accounts and one POP all having seperate maail folder

I add a new mail account...It adds the account and configures it correctly and
imports mail...

When I close and open thunderbird ...the newly added account title
dissapears..and when I go into the local directory settings for the account, it
is blank and clicking on the browse icon next to it does not bring up anything
either. 

When checking under the ~\Application Data\THUNDERBIRD\PROFILES folder for the
account folder, I find that its not created and nothing in the config files also
on the new account. 

The only thing that happens to set it right is to manually edit prefs.js to add
another account.

The same problem as described in the thread below

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.
