This is a known bug. The easiest workaround, once the new news account
has been created, is to delete it. You should then be able to create new
mail and news accounts as desired. If not, post back.

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).
I looked the bug up -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521861 - and it is nine
years old, dating back to Seamonkey 2.0.1. This would seem to indicate
that the problem was not imported from Thunderbird.
Amusingly, there is an interesting reference in comment 4:
BTW, in my case clicking in a news:// link didn't CREATE a fake news account;
instead, MODIFIED one of my newsgroup accounts, renaming it and changing the
From: e-mail address associated to it.
The concept of "Fake news accounts" is older than we thought.
Going back to the original question, I am having a problem with adding
an imap account on my laptop (Windows 10, 2.49.3). I already have 4 pop
accounts and this news server set up there.
The password is being rejected, even though it is correct and all the
other values agree with the ones the (Thunderbird) instructions specify.
Are there any "issues" with imap at present?
