[SOLVED] Thunderbird 15 unable to create new email account

Postby phileas on Fri Sep 14, 2012 10:50 am

Hello,
Linux mint 13 Thunderbird 15. I am trying to create an email account. Thunderbird asks to create an account through gandi.net and hover.com. I say I want to use my existing email. I give my data, I hit create account and this popup about accaounts through gandin.net and hover.com jumps again. My account is not created. No problem with Claws mail.

I don't know if this is related. I had a problem setting up a pop account. The Thunderbird setup wizard would only setup an IMAP account for my mail server. I went to File/Work Offline and set up the account manually. You can also disconnect from the Internet before opening Thunderbird.

That should only happen if you click the button on the left...

Does that happen when you click the Continue button on the right? I know it's not clickable initially, but that should change once you've entered your name and e-mail address.

Solved after restarting and login-logout.
