It is in shared code. I attached a wip patch to work around one of the issues
in the bug but didn't find time to finish it yet. Ratty suggested some
improvements. The wip patch is in Bills unofficial builds: http://www.wg9s.com/

There are always issues :) That said 2.53 and 2.49.5 work fine for me with imap.

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?
