719912 - "incoming mail server already exists" when creating multiple accounts, not when restarting tb

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 534828

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Florian Schmitt]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
Build ID: 20111220165912

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to set up two mail accounts (IMAP) that where both hosted on the same IMAP server, but with different user names / credentials. For example:
IMAP server: imap.provider.net:993, user name: user1, pass: pass1;
IMAP server: imap.provider.net:993, user name: user2, pass: pass2.

Win 7 SP1 32bit, TB 9.0.1.


Actual results:

Setting up the first worked fine. Setting up the second one immediately after the first one failed initially with message "Incoming mail server already exists" (in my language (german): "Posteingangsserver bereits vorhanden".

I got it finally working by simply exiting thunderbird and re-starting it.


Expected results:

I expected TB to create the second mail account with same IMAP but different user name without forcing me to restart TB first.
