Hi,

I use a siteground server and whenever I add a new account, TB recognizes the settings but when I click "Next" to finalize the process, it never completes.

If I try to configure it manually, I get an error saying "incoming server already exists."

To fix the problem, I have to exit TB and manually edit the profile file.

I end up adding:

user_pref("mail.account.accountXX.identities", "idXX"); user_pref("mail.account.accountXX.server", "serverXX");

Then I make a copy of another account's

user_pref("mail.identity.idXX.XXX"

settings and make them fit the new account.

As you can guess, it's pretty tedious and annoying but I don't understand why this happens.

Any ideas?

If you're entering password at time of creation, stop doing that. That is usually the way to resolve the issue.

Ah, that was it!

Somehow I think if this causes a problem, it shouldn't be offered as an option on creation.

Thanks!

I'm glad it worked. I don't about all acconts, but that works on all problems I have seen reported here.
