735379 - Cannot rename account or change account server

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Instant Messaging, defect)

Description

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #735366 +++

STR

TB 13 trunk with IM
no chat accounts set up yet

1 set up first chat account (google talk), but accidentally misspell your username (e.g. googlemail.de instead of googlemail.com)
2 "Your chat accounts are not connected": Choose "Show chat status"
3 click "Properties" to enter correct Account Settings for that chat acct

Actual result

- Cannot correct the misspelled email address
- need to delete chat account with all details already entered
- need to recreate chat account and enter all details again

Expected result

As with mail accounts:
- Allow user to set/correct the username/email address of chat account from account settings
- Allow user to define a display name for that account (if only for better overview in the account settings dialogue) from account settings

Really, having to delete and recreate my newly-set-up chat account because of 3 wrong letters in the account's username is a pretty frustrating newbie out-of-the-box experience for this new feature!
