40048 - Grammar: Each account "can" have an identity => Each account has an identity

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

When creating a new mail account the text says:
"Each account can have it's own identity"

It should say:
"Each account have it's own identity"

Or is it just me that havent found out how to add a news/mail server without 
creating a new identity!!!! This is soooo stupid! I just want to have one 
identity and multiple server connected to this one identity!

The "can" text is also present in the "Account Settions" dialog.

sorry dude, the text says what we intended, and no we're not doing shared 
identities for Netscape 6.. maybe a future version.

Comment 3

[Henrik Gemal]

I dont really understand the argument. "what we intended". Hmmm...
You properly also intended to have a lot of other stuff in Mozilla too, but that 
doesn't mean that you write about it.
Since you can't have shared identities in the current version of mozilla, why do 
you write it?

Comment 4

[Alec Flett]

because the statement is true, and I don't believe it's misleading. I don't 
believe we add value by changing the text.

If you want to take this up on the mail-news newsgroup, you're welcome to, but 
I'm not putting this on my priority list.
