Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 303542

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[holyboy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl-PL; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6

problem appeared after adding another account with the same email adress.

I've needed to check if my settings for account are ok (after win reinstall).
Old messages was imported and I wanted them to stay, so I've changed username
and server for account, after that I've added account again (leaving old with
wrong settings, but the same email name)
The result was new account didn't appeared in folder pane and even was not
visible in Tools->account config, but - interesting - information was written
"somwhere", becouse I could not reverse settings in "old" account (TB said there
is such account already).
Anyway, only "old" account was visible, there was no way to find/change settings
for newly created one.
The only solution I've found (have no time for bugs;-) was to delete "old"
account (losing mails); then "new" account appeared.


this bug seems to be similiar to:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238006

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create email account and retrieve mails
2. change username and server leaving email name untouched
3. add account again


Actual Results:  
new account will not be shown in folder pane and in Tools->Account config, only
old account is visible.
you cannot neither change setting for old account nor change / delete new (it's
hidden). it means you cannot reverse setings in old account and use it. you can
only delete old account loosing your mails.

Expected Results:  
Old and new accounts should be visible in TB folder pane and tools->Acoount
config menu.
