1. To decide which email addresses are to be used for 'Get Mail' one has to tick (or untick) 'include this server when getting new mail'.
However if the 1st Radio button is selected the tick box is not available (grayed out). This can be overcome by selecting second or third radio, then ticking/unticking the box and returning to the first button.
That is not an ideal solution and may not be recognised by some users.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select 'view settings for this account'
2.select 'server settings' for the email address required
3.select 'advanced'
4.note greyed out check box in 'Advanced Account Settings'
Actual Results:  
check box can only be changed using radio button 2 or 3

Expected Results:  
allowed the check box to be ticked for all radio button selections

When submitting this bug report the browser (Firefox) claimed the server had timed out. 
I am amazed that the bur report actually arrived

As far as I can tell, the option is grayed out because it is ignored if the first radio option is set--i.e., the server is chosen to not be deferred.

bienvenu, is this true?

yes, I think this is to control what happens when you do get new mail on the deferred to account, i.e., which of the servers that are deferred should be included when doing a get new mail on the deferred to server.
