2. I click on "more" button for details on accounts and "more" button move at the top of message headers as displayed in screenshots #2;
3. click the "more" button in mew position, I cannot hide details and more button disappair (screenshot #3).

This may be the same as bug 499989 and caused by the recent removal of the compact header pane (which hasn't been replaced by any other "brief" view).

There are actually two different "(more)"s in play here.  My reading suggests that this bug is actually about the removal of the compact header view.  That's described in <http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/dmose/archives/2009/06/thunderbird_compact_header_mov.html>, and isn't likely to change.

The more button displayed in screenshot 2 applies only to the specific header that it's next to.  It's buggy, which is why bug 499989 got filed.  I'm doing more work on cleaning up the header pane and those particular problems now and immediately after b3 ships.
