Details

(Spun off from bug 64800 comment 0 steps:) [Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100205 SeaMonkey/2.0.3] (release) > 1. Do the URL trick of entering news://foobar into the browser window. I get a 'Confirm | Would you like to subscribe to foobar' dialog, which I cancel. The following prefs are created immediately: { user_pref("mail.server.server2.hostname", "news"); user_pref("mail.server.server2.type", "nntp"); user_pref("mail.server.server2.valid", false); } and the following one at shutdown: { user_pref("mail.server.server2.max_cached_connections", 2); } though they're all useless :-/ NB: No file is created under 'News' directory. PS: To try the steps again, you need to manually remove the prefs first. This might even be a problem in real life case... Fwiw, if I accept the dialog, I get the following error: { news://news:119/foobar Address Not Found }
