Hello Chris, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.
You made this bug report in 2011 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then. Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once): apport-collect 722659 and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird Description: I added a newsgroup account to thunderbird (specifically, the nintendo developer server). In the main view, the account shows up only with the icon, not any further details (normally it would include the server name). I tried to click on the account, then on "View Settings for this account", but the "Account Settings" window only shows no details. Bear with me now, because this is where it gets weird. There's an empty entry in the list of accounts (still in the "Account Settings" window). When I click that the window shows the main view of thunderbird (menu, folder view, message list, message pane) in the right pane where you would normally see the details for "Server Settings", "Security", etc. After clicking on the empty entry, clicking on my other accounts' "Server Settings" shows the following in the right-hand panel: XML Parsing Error: no element found Location: chrome://messenger/content/am-server.xul Line Number 1, Column 1: Also, I can't remove the account anymore either, because the action is grayed out in the "Account Actions" list.
