Hello all, as I was having challenges with fetching emails for yahoo, I
decided to add a new email account in SM 2.162 to only find that it will
only create newsgroup accounts and not email.
Any ideas as to what is going on with this? I currently have eight email
accounts in SM and six newsgroups. Is eight the limit?
Trying this on my desktop using win 8.
TIA - Bo1953
SS, no, eight is not the limit, it's just that SM has a problem in that
it thinks once you've set up your first news account, all following
accounts will be news!!
However, SS, back on 24 Jan 2013, in the thread "Can't add second email
account", NoOp replied to a similar question....

Unfortunately it's an old issue:
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.15/#issues>
"After creating a news account through clicking a news URL, the MailNews
account wizard may be broken (the account type will always be News). To
work around the problem, set the mail.server.serverX.valid pref (where X
is the internal number of the corresponding news account) to true in
about:config, or delete the invalid news account (bug 521861)."
