Changing server settings on account wants to restart as soon I leave first field
v115.10.1 32-bit Changed isp and email completely, and wanted to change both server name and user name. But editing server name and leaving that field I get a popup wanting to restart - problem is I need to change user name as well or no go
So it starts to try and login but fails of course, since user name need to change too.
This really need another approach, maybe not so automatic.
Changing focus from first field to next one should not execute restart. - just when leaving second field if any of first and second is changed
So going through all accounts and failed logins etc all the way is cumbersome. - dual restarts every account
Not sure where to put bug reports like this. Thanks.

Don't mess with your existing account. Create a new account in Thunderbird for the new server with the new credentials. Make sure to give it a unique name.
Thanks for your tips, but that is an awful lot of work compared to what I did even. - checkboxes here and there - a lot of text to fill in - remove and account and have old maildatabase left - assign new account to same database
I only had to change domain on three places, mail was the same.
I think looking through how lost focus on fields work instead. - I did plenty pre- and post-processing on focus() event and it can be done better. - just set a flag if leaving a field is changed - and process which changed fields as you get focus() on other fields below - then execute restart thingy
Just how I would do it...
I have almost 20 years of emails on 6 accounts in this install. So want minimum work changing ISP. New accounts will be used as continued same account as previous keep same history data.
Yes, and it's up to devs to listen to good advice, too! - this is what feeds donations coming - troublefree functionality
It's simple programming task to solve this in no time. - I'm a retired programmer and did this many times as I described - simple overlooked thing that can be fixed
I went through as is now, and solved for me. - this was for other peoples future needs - not for me right now, but in future next time I change ISP
