Overview: Add an AOL account and notice that Account Settings, mail folder and 
Message|Move submenu displays "Mail for    ", without the name of the account.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In a migrated profile add an AOL account with the Account Wizard
2. In the Account Wizard's last dialog select the Finish button, notice that 
Account Settings displays "Mail for    ".
3. Select the OK button to close the Account Settings dialog

Actual Results: 
a. NT4: Also notice that the following only display Mail for    ":
- mail folder 

After opening Account Settings it now displays "Mail for [e-mail]". Select 
OK to close Account Settings and the mail folder and Message|Move Message 
submenus still display "Mail for   ".

Workaround: Close and reopen the mail window

Expected Results: After the Account Wizard creates the AOL account, the name of 
the account (Mail for [e-mail]) should be reflected immediately in Account 
Settings, the mail folder and the Message|Move To submenus.

Additional Informatin: Using the same scenarios on Mac and Linux produce 
slightly different results. In all cases closing and reopening the mail window 
fixes the problem:

b. Mac: 
- the mail folder displays "Mail for   "
- Message|Move Message menu displays the correct format
- Context menu, Move|Message to submenu dispalys "Mail for   "

c. Linux: 
- the mail folders displays "Mail for [e-mail]" in the folder pane 
- the Message|Move Message submenu displays "Mail for    ".

In a new profile where the first account is an AOL account the results were the 
same for Win, Linux and Mac:

- Mail folders displays "Mail for    "
- Message|Move Message submenu, ok
- Context Move To submenu, ok

Update: Using builds 2000-09-11 on win98, mac and linux, for all platforms, the 
user name is not reflected immedialtely, but it is reflected after you close the 
app and reopen.  This is a simple workaround to see the account username and can 
be nsbeta3-.

and reopening app.

Marking Invalid since this problem occurs with AOL accounts and to some extent
Webmail accounts and should be logged in Bugscape (bugscape# 3002).
