Creating a new mail account force the account to POP or IMAP.
When You fill in name, email and password the new wizzard checks automatically the settings of the mailserver by the records of the ISP. When there are both POP and IMAP accounts, it seems the account defaults to POP.
When changing the pulldown buttons to IMAP, sometimes it works, sometimes not to create an IMAP account. Once the wrong account is choosen, manual edit of the account does not help further to change the POP account to imap.
A solution could be to put the button MANUAL CONFIGURATION on the first screen, not the second, as to disable the automatic configuration completely when that button is hit. This should be replicated in the section, where the account can be edit.
Reproducible: Sometimes
