602168 - you can't add mail servers that are offline

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 583602

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[tvivel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird/3.1.4

When I try and add a new email account I can't add a new account if the dns is still propagating (or however its spelled) or if the mail servers are offline. It just doesn't let me click on the "Create account" button which is grayed since thunderbird thinks that something is wrong because it can't connect to the server. It's really annoying. Great program otherwise!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just follow the guide to add a new email account and enter an incorrect domain to check it
2.
3.
