(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Background Information:

I'm trying to access 2 IMAP-Accounts. The Problem is, i have to setup an ssh-tunnel for both of them. Account1 goes to localhost:1143 and Account2 on localhost:33143. The username on both accounts is the same.

Creating the first account works fine (localhost:33143). But after going through the "Add Mail account" dialog the second time (for localhost:1143 ,testing the configuration succeeds, i've also given it a different name) then the first account is duplicated and both accounts contain the same mails.

I've fixed that by adding an alias for localhost to my /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1       imaptunnel localhost

So, when i use imaptunnel as the hostname for the second account, and localhost for the first, it works.

Reproducible: Always
