290978 - Folders not created for New Account

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Kevin Davidson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050405 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: version  (20050419)

I added a new POP3 account. No folders were created for the account, and the
account itself was not displayed in the folder tree. I can see the account in
the Account Settings, and I can see it in the File | Get Messages For menu. If I
get a message for this account, it's appearing in the Local Folders inbox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new POP3 account
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Account and folders did not appear in the Folders Pane

Expected Results:  
Created account and inbox folder in Folders Pane

I noticed this first in a March nightly build, updated to 20050419 and it still
happens. I see three other folks have mentioned this problem on the forums.
