Ok Guys,

I know you are all very busy, but how long should it take to perfect the "ADD NEW EMAIL ACCOUNT" option in Thunderbird.

I have always had problems (from years ago) adding new Email Accounts, I've learned to manually change the username to reflect, the full email address not just the name, (left of the @ symbol.)

Solution - include the full name ex: "Name@Domain" rather than Name, it would be such a great advancement.


Secondly,

Now on this latest release of Thunderbird (102.7l.00) and a little prior

I have been running into this Strange problem

Every time I add a New Email Account, and click on Done, It spins, and spins, while I wait for TB to add the New Email. and apparently, it never does.

Same problems as before: the Username is incomplete, which is a pain I manually have to configure it and I re submit the Task, and it comes back " Incoming Server Exists Message" Error Message

After maybe 10 years of developing Thunderbird, I cannot understand why this basic of all basic procedure is flawed.

FYI - I have spent the past 1 hour trying to add an email account - and it will not work.

You have any solutions?

Thank you in advance.
