I have three profiles each with several accounts but I keep one for
newsgroups only with its own hotmail account for years
at work I have two profiles one with two accounts and the other with
eight accounts so it does work nicely and have had no problems

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:

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?
