Hello, I'm using Thunderbird version 140.2.1esr (64-bit). I want to create a new account with a different email address. In the first dialog, I'm asked for my "Full Name" and "Email Address." After that, I only have the option to click "Continue." Thunderbird then crashes, and even after several minutes, it doesn't continue. I've attached a screenshot. Creating multiple accounts is actually quite common for me; I've done it several times in the past with previous versions of Thunderbird without any problems. Thank you for your support. Regards, Jürgen

Rick, thanks for your helpful support. Account hub (account management) is marked as "experimental" in the settings but doesn't work.

Same issue here 143.0.1 (64-bit) on OSX 13.7.7, even after turning off the experimental "Account hub."

The crash happens when either attempting to add a new email account via File/New/email account or Account Settings/+New Account

Any other suggestions?
