296133 - deleted alternate "identities" get "zeroed" but not deleted.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[L A Walsh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: version 1.0 (20041206)

Was deleting some old/no longer used "identities" under an IMAP account.  When 
I deleted them, the list of alternate identities "refreshes" and puts me back 
at top of list (not desirable - should remove entry and move lower entries in 
list "up"), but then, scrolling down to bottom of list shows several entries 
of the form "<>" (no name, no email addr).  Exiting the dialogues and exiting 
T-bird didn't delete the "null" alt-identities -- they are all crowded down at 
the bottom of the list as "<>" on the manage identities list.  When sending a 
message, they are still displayed in the form of "<> - [e-mail]" 
where "[e-mail]" is the name of the account.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have multiple (I had 43) identities
2. Delete a few (I deleted 7)
---
That seems to be it.


Actual Results:  
See above details.

Expected Results:  
program should have deleted the entries rather than simply "blanking" them.

Ideally, it also wouldn't refresh the list from the top but simply move items 
below the deleted item "up" one line.

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.

Reporter, does the issue still occur with the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported Thunderbird version 2 is 2.0.0.16)
