257217 - Adding a new mail account does not show in mail component

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[H Beitman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530

I upgraded from 1.7.2 to 1.8a3 and added a new mail account to my existing 4
accounts.  This did not show in the preferences listing nor in the mail
component.  When I reinstalled 1.7.2 the new account showed and worked fine. 
Going to 1.8a3 again made the new account disappear, but left all the others.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a mail account
2. The account does not show but is obviously there since reverting to the older
edition makes it work fine.


Actual Results:  
The account does not show in 1.8a3, but is there in 1.7.2

Expected Results:  
It should have created ad shown a new mail account.

The version 1.8a3 is apparently not seeing the account despite having been
created under than version.  This would prevent users from adding an e-mail account.

Even existing mail-accounts doesn't show either. I have 4 accounts, 1 can't be
seen. In Mozilla 1.7x this problem didn't exist.

I have the same here, with Mozilla 1.8a3 new accounts do not show up. :-(
