User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.15) Gecko/20080623 Firefox/2.0.0.15 Build Identifier: Manage Identities "composition and addressing" does not save (prefs.js) This bug is very similar to the following (essentially the same bug I am seeing, but for different items within "Manage Identities": 415953, 299708, 324523 Overview: When editing an identity through the "Manage Identities GUI", the preference under composition and addressing for "place my signature below my reply" is always set to "below the quote" for all identities. This is not observed when selecting this preference for the default identity; only the alternate identities managed through the "Manage Identities" GUI. This setting is saved in the prefs.js file in the lines: user_pref("mail.identity.id1.sig_bottom", true); user_pref("mail.identity.id2.sig_bottom", true); etc. opening and closing the "manage identities" gui sets these to true, regardless of what the user selected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Steps to reproduce: -install thunderbird 2.0.0.14 -install plugin "xpunge" -insert account info -try to use "manage identities" under "account settings" , it fails. I have tried this on my laptop and desktop laptop: toshiba portege 4010 w/ WinXP SP3 desktop: AMD Athalon 1.4 Ghz w/ Win2K SP4 Actual Results: Actual results: closing "Manage Identities" sets user_pref("mail.identity.id1.sig_bottom", true); in prefs.js, regardless of user selection. Expected Results: Desired results: closing "Manage Identities" sets user_pref("mail.identity.id1.sig_bottom", true); (or false) in prefs.js, dependent on user selection in GUI. Build Date: ThunderBird 2.0.0.14 observed bug in earlier version of Thunderbird 2.0, but did not have time to track it down until now. I am attaching a hand edited version of prefs.js below. The lines I report above are changed to "true" if I initiate the "Manage Identitied" GUI, regardless of selection. ####prefs.js # Mozilla User Preferences /* Do not edit this file. * * If you make changes to this file while the application is running, * the changes will be overwritten when the application exits. * * To make a manual change to preferences, you can visit the URL about:config * For more information, see http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs */ user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-background-update-timer", 1215644703); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer", 1215644703); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.blocklist-background-update-timer", 1215644703); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.restart-nag-timer", 1195670379); user_pref("app.update.never.2.0.0.6", false); user_pref("browser.download.dir", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\cabal\\Desktop"); user_pref("browser.download.lastDir", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\cabal\\Desktop"); user_pref("browser.download.progressDnldDialog.keepAlive", false); user_pref("extensions.lastAppVersion", "2.0.0.14"); user_pref("extensions.update.notifyUser", false); user_pref("intl.charsetmenu.mailview.cache", "windows-1250, UTF-7, windows-1252, UTF-8, ISO-8859-1"); user_pref("ldap_2.autoComplete.useDirectory", true); user_pref("ldap_2.prefs_migrated", true); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.UWDirectory.auth.savePassword", true); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.UWDirectory.description", "UW Directory"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.UWDirectory.filename", "abook.mab"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.UWDirectory.replication.lastChangeNumber", 0); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.UWDirectory.uri", "ldap://directory.washington.edu:389/o=university of washington, c=US??sub?(objectclass=*)"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers._nonascii.filename", "_nonascii.mab"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers._nonascii.replication.lastChangeNumber", 0); user_pref("ldap_2.servers._nonascii.uri", "moz-abldapdirectory://_nonascii.mab"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers._nonascii_1.filename", "_nonascii_1.mab"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers._nonascii_1.replication.lastChangeNumber", 0); user_pref("ldap_2.servers._nonascii_1.uri", "moz-abldapdirectory://_nonascii_1.mab"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.default.filename", "default.mab"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.default.replication.lastChangeNumber", 0); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.default.uri", "moz-abldapdirectory://default.mab"); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.history.replication.lastChangeNumber", 0); user_pref("ldap_2.servers.pab.replication.lastChangeNumber", 0); user_pref("mail.SpellCheckBeforeSend", true); user_pref("mail.account.account1.server", "server1"); user_pref("mail.account.account2.identities", "id1,id2"); user_pref("mail.account.account2.server", "server2"); user_pref("mail.accountmanager.accounts", "account1,account2"); user_pref("mail.accountmanager.defaultaccount", "account2"); user_pref("mail.accountmanager.localfoldersserver", "server1"); user_pref("mail.attachment.store.version", 1); user_pref("mail.compose.attach.dir", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\cabal\\Desktop"); user_pref("mail.default_html_action", 2); user_pref("mail.folder.views.version", 1); user_pref("mail.forward_message_mode", 2); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.attach_signature", true); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.attach_vcard", false); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.auto_quote", true); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.compose_html", false); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.directoryServer", "ldap_2.servers.UWDirectory"); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.doBcc", false); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.doBccList", ""); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.draft_folder", "imap://cabal@cabal.deskmail.washington.edu/Drafts"); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.drafts_folder_picker_mode", "1"); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.encryption_cert_name", ""); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.encryptionpolicy", 0); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.escapedVCard", ""); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fcc", true); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fcc_folder", "imap://cabal@cabal.deskmail.washington.edu/zaved/sent"); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fcc_folder_picker_mode", "1"); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fcc_reply_follows_parent", false); user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fullName", "John H.

Dup of Bug 365927? See also bugs DUP'ed to Bug 365927 and bugs mentioned in Bug 365927.
Reporter states that the problem occurs only in the Manage Identities "composition and addressing" dialog, but not in the main dialog. Thus, this appears to be a duplicate of bug 278453 rather.

sorry, I only searched "preferences", not "account configuration". Seemed to fit in the preferences section better to me... :-)
No problem, doesn't matter for a duplicate then anyway.
