I was getting multiple requests for user ID and password in Tbird. I traced the problem to spurious accounts named "news" and "news-1", created as a result of bug #41133. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41133#c8>. This bug is open in Tbird 2.0.0.23 and is not marked as closed for Tbird 3.0. Since the Mail/News component of SeaMonkey 2.0 is based on the MailNews Core for pending Tbird 3.0, I suspect this problem exists in SeaMonkey 2.0. It appears that no effort is being made to close this bug. Getting rid of spurious accounts is a bother. First, I use Tbird (you would use SeaMonkey) to delete the account with the Account Settings window. Then I shut down Tbird and go to its profile. There, I delete the folders for the accounts and the .rc and .msf files for the accounts. Today, while I was no longer being requested for a user ID and password, I still saw a spurious account in my list of accounts. I finished the cleanup by using the Config Editor to delete preference variables for the accounts. -- David E.
