Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10/thunderbird 0.8

I have multiple accounts on the same mail server.. mail.server.com .  Prior
versions allow Acct1 email to go to inbox under Acct1, and Acct2 to go to the
inbox under Acct2..   What is happening now is all email from Acct1 and Acct2
are going to the inbox under Acct1 and the inbox under Acct2..   I have not
selected global inbox.  The problem stems from the inablity to make the local
directory different for each account even if the server is the same.  I used
thunderbird because of the ability to separate the inbox for email coming in
from the same server with different account names. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create [e-mail] using mail.server.com as the pop3 server
2.create [e-mail] using mail.server.com as the pop3 server
3. both are set up as receive mail in this servers inbox...

Actual Results:  
everything looks normal and like it should be until email is received then the
inbox in both accounts receives the email from both accounts mixed together.

Expected Results:  
put email from acct1 in the inbox for acct1 and the email from acct2 in the
inbox for acct2..

can you attach or e-mail me your prefs.js for this profile? And also take a look
at the Mail sub-directory of your user profile directory to see what the
server-subdirectories look like in it?

Update on this issue is seams to come for the import from netscape, not from the
previous stated add accounts..
