This is a known issue, described in the release notes:

The *simple* workaround for this is to delete the news account.

A more complex workaround, not involving deleting the news account, is
composed of the following steps:

a) Open about:config
b) type "nntp" in the search box
c) You will see perhaps a half a dozen lines (exact number depends on
your setup), one or two of which begin by "mail.server.server" followed
by a number (for instance, "mail.server.server5") Note this number, you
will need it below. If there's more than one line, try the higher number
first.
d) Right-click somewhere in the empty area and select "New," "Boolean".
In the "Enter the preference name" dialog, type
"mail.server.serverX.valid" (where X is the number you found in the
previous step). For instance, in my example, the preference name would
be "mail.server.server5.valid".
e) Set this pref to "True."
f) Test


This is an Old Old old Bug that goes all the way back SM 1.x series 
Mozilla has never ever attempted to fix. If I remember correctly  I 
started a discussion about in in SeaMonkey group back in the days Of 
Sm 1.5 series of SM. If the bugzilla folks will look there probably a 
bug about it that goes back  that far or even further. a Bunch of 
dicussion happened but no suggestion for a Fix. And it doesn't just 
apply to newsgroups. there is a Similar bug related to Mail boxes as 
well.


I refer to another problem, when they said that to be able to correct a 
bug, they need a reproductible case. For this bug, they have a 
reproductible case  conclude yourself

Help! Need to add new email account after adding news server...

2011-12-18 Thread Barry Smith

Okay, I didn't know this was a problem.

I set up one email account,
then I had a question about moving my local folders,so I added the 
newsgroup.


Now, every time I try to add an account, seamonkey tries to add a news 
server... when I want to add an email account.


Help!
