I cannot fathom how it picked which account to ignore unless it is something to do with the order it was added. You see why I have trouble explaining this problem!? One reboot, two reboots. Who knows what the real issue might be?

Re: Good grief! The bug STILL exists
Hello Allister, As for where the file is stored, I noted a file called groups.cfg in the Mail directory. It is binary, however, so I have no idea if this is what causes all the trouble. I *can* tell you it seems to be updated every time I shut down TB! Why don't you try something? First, backup all your TB data (mail directory. Then move your groups.cfg file top a different directory and start TB to see what happens. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Found that if I allocate a password to an administrator account before re-creating the account in question I can then access that admin account and remove the account from the group and after a bit more fiddling around, everything comes together. During the fiddling I had duplicate accounts, accounts that kept renaming themselves, mysteriously appearing extra common folders, and disappearing accounts and virtual folders. At one point I had all accounts pointing to the same set of folders.

Hi Allister, Wel this sounds like the data isn't written to file.
