Bug 521627
{{stub}}
There are some problems, sometimes based on rather old Bugzilla bug Reports, what can be resolved with simple workarounds. Some of these workarounds are listed in the release notes, here you find an additional how-to-list.
'''First please try to find a solution for your problem in the SeaMonkey release notes ([http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.38/#issues here] for 2.38)'''
== Mail/NEWS Account Creation fails ==
{{Bug|521627}} - 2.0rc1: e-mail account creation skips account type selection
When creating an e-mail- or news-account you might observe that the wizard skips the account type selection (radio buttons "POP3 - IMAP - NEWS") and directly starts with name input dialog. It will be impossible to create the account. To work around the problem:
# Launch SeaMonkey browser
# into ''url location bar'' type "about:config" → <enter> → confirm warning
# Into ''find bar input line'' type ".valid". If the reason for your Problem is {{Bug|521627}}, in the shown list you will find an entry "mail.server.serverX.valid" (where X is the internal number of the corresponding news account)
# set the found '''mail.server.serverX.valid''' pref to '''true''' with a double click
:
Reason for that problem might have been a news account created by clicking a news URL, the MailNews account wizard may be broken afterwards.
:
If you do not find any ''mail.server.serverX.valid'' entry, Bug 521627 probably is not reason for your problem.
