OK, I've run into this problem and am happy to have found this solution. 
But I admit I've never really played with SM's back end, so these 
instructions don't mean much to me. Could I get more details please?


Thanks!

The easiest way should be to call 'about:config' in the browser and
there use .valid as filter. If you can find the above mentioned Pref,
then right-click on it, choose Reset and restart SM2.

Another way would be to completely close SM2, open the file prefs.js in
a suitable Editor, search there for a line similar to the mentioned,
delete it and restart SM2. The prefs.js is located in the profile.

Would that delete *all* of my preferences?

So I need to delete the line altogether, not just to edit it?

No, the 'Reset' is related only to the Pref, for which you had opened
the context-menu. With the right-click.

Yes, this line must be deleted.

And, before working with the profile, you have made a backup of it, hm? ;)

No, of course not, only the selected one.

Can someone help here? I can't configure any more accounts and it's

Did you searche the prefs.js for user_pref(mail.server.server8.valid,
false);? The number behind server will probably be different.

Hartmut


Thanks, that worked. Shouldn't this be reported as a bug?

This has definitely got to be a bug.
I have configured Gmail IMAP, one POP account and 3 newsgroup server
accounts in Seamonkey so far. When I try to add an account- it assumes I
want to add a newsgroup account and just asks for name and server name-
it does not show me the first page where I could choose from
Email/News/RSS setup.
What's more- this does not add a new account- it just changes the
settings of the last account that's there.

Anyone else seen this?


No, since I migrated my profile, I've added two newsgroup accounts with 
no issue at all.

But i have, when a newsserver was automatically added by clicking on a
link. It was http://enigmail.mozdev.org/support/newsgroup.php.

The culprit was a line in the prefs.js:
user_pref(mail.server.server8.valid, false);

I had issues with new.mozdev.org as well (public.mozdev.prefbar). But I
think it was a case of me messing up the 'mozdev' username. Can't recall
exactly what I did to fix it, but it seems to be working just fine now.

That's interesting. Just tried and the translation works fine for me.
Although the term 'fine' should be avoided. The result is, eeh,
