266842 - Can't select between different dial-up accounts, unless IE5.50 left installed to act as DUN manager

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[David Sweetman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I have 2 different dial-up (external Zoom Telephonics 56K modem) accounts
(FREESERVE & FREENETNAME), each with a different phone number. I installed
Thunderbird & Firefox separately at different times & all account details (2
user names on FREESERVE and 1 user name on FREENETNAME were correctly imported
by the installer(s). At that time IE5.50 was still installed (together with
Outlook Express 5.50)

With IE5.50 & OE5.50 stripped out completely from registry & all files erased
(after setting all File Types to point to Thunderbird / Firefox), only 1 account
comes up in the dailer window. Even closing & opening Thunderbird once or more
times doesn't resolve this.

With IE5.50 only then reinstalled, a drop-down menu appears with the choice of 2
accounts. I can select either & they work okay, but can not switch between
FREESERVE & FREENETNAME accounts without closing & opening Thunderbird again. 



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double click on Thunderbird icon.
2. Select account
3.

Actual Results:  
Only one account selected; no drop-down window to give a choice

Expected Results:  
1)Offer a choice of FREESERVE or FREENETNAME accounts in a drop-down window
2)After choice of a different account, disconnect phone line & redial other
number without needing to close down & open Thunderbird.
IE5.50/OE5.50 both worked okay without giving these problems.


I have not set up or imported any themes, just used the default theme.
My machine has an ASUS P3V 4X motherboard with a 600 MHz Pentium III, 128 Mbytes
of RAM and about 900 Mbytes free on the hard disk drive.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
