680955 - When multiple email accounts are defined only the first 4 or 5 are recognized at first e-mail use

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[Howard Abrams]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0) Gecko/20110813 Firefox/6.0 SeaMonkey/2.3
Build ID: 20110813174900

Steps to reproduce:

I set up 6 e-mail accounts in the "Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings" panel.  After closing Seamonkey (Build Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0) Gecko/20110813 Firefox/6.0 SeaMonkey/2.3) I left clicked the mail icon on the bottom left of the page.  The Inbox displayed and the "Enter your Password" box came up for the first 5 e-mail accounts.  To get the password box to appear for the 6th email account I needed to left click the arrow on the right side of the "Get Msgs" icon at the top left of the page and select the 6th email account.  I then swapped the data describing the 6th email account with the 5th email account.


Actual results:

The next time I logged on to Seamonkey and accessed email, only the first 4 email accounts would automatically try to log on to their respective external locations.  No matter what type of tricks I tried would get Seamonkey to automatically recognize the 5th account on the initial email login.


Expected results:

Seamonkey should have tried to access the first 5 external email accounts (I assume there is a built in limit to the number of accounts accessed on login).

After the build info a sentence should be added.  "I then restarted Seamonkey."

NOT reproducible with EN-US SeaMonkey 2.33.1 (German Language pack)  Gecko/20100101 Build 20150321194901 (Default Theme) on German WIN7 64bit

@reporter:
Still a problem for you?

In the ensuing 4 years I have stopped using Seamonkey since it seemed to be slower and less stable than Firefox.  Because of that I switched to Thunderbird for email.  Thunderbird works slightly differently from Seamonkey and only attempts to log into the first email account in the list.  Thank you for examining the problem.

So closing.
