Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Needed to add a new pop3 account to others I have used for years. The
account is created. That is the directories for the account are properly
created. More important, the folder for this account does not get added
to the folder tree. However, I can "Get email for" this account from the
menus. However, all incoming mail is directed to the Local Folders
inbox.
Tested on another machine, with a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 install+updates. Did
the same thing. Tried adding the thunderbird-gnome-support package, and
that seemed to work. However, creating the same email account under a
different Linux user failed to work. So this appears to be intermittent
and that it worked after adding the package was a fluke. For me, about
10% success and 90% failed. My programming gut instinct says
uninitialized data or pointers.
Most likely this is unique to the 2.0.0.24 version used in Ubuntu. Tried
the same thing under Fedora 12, but that is 3.0.3 and account creation
is entirely different. But it does work there.
