Ben, can you give me a sample of what you add manually into your prefs that 
cause the problem. thanks

Copy/paste prefs mail.identity.id1.* and rename to *.id2.*, *.id3.* etc.
(assuming you had only one identity). Then set
user_pref("mail.account.account1.identities", "id1,id2,id3,id4,id5,id6");|

Am I sure? There's already an old bug about this (but other symptoms). ???
