Using 19990914 build on win98, Using the New Account Wizard, if I add multiple accounts with the same server (ie. 3qatest07 using nsmail-2, qatest03 using nsmail-2, and qatest04 using nsmail-2) the account location of the multiple POP accounts will be the same. 1. Migrate an IMAP account from 4.x (one that has several accounts you can assigned to the same server. I used accounts 3qatest07 as my IMAP account using server nsmail-2 and migrated it first. Then I added POP accounts qatest03 and qatest04 using the server nsmail-2 too) 2. Launch this account and select Tasks Messenger 3. Select New Account Wizard from the Edit Menu and add the second account. (ie qatest03)Close and reopen Seamonkey. Repeat step 2 4. Select New Account Wizard from the Edit Menu and add the third account(ie qatest04). Close Seamonkey. Result: In the case above, if you look at the prefs.js file, you will see the same directory location for both pop accounts: user_pref("mail.server.server4.directory", "D:\\Users50\\3qatest07\\Mail\\nsmail-2"); Expected: Each POP account should have a different directory structure so messages don't get mixed up. Note: Seth saw this and said he has a fix for it.

marking m11. fixed. here's how it works: any pop, imap or news servers that get migrated (with -installer) will retain the directory names they had in 4.x examples: user_pref("mail.server.server1.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/ImapMail/tintin"); user_pref("mail.server.server2.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/ImapMail/nsmail-2"); user_pref("mail.server.server3.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/ImapMail/sspitzer"); user_pref("mail.server.server4.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/Mail/server4"); user_pref("mail.server.server5.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/News/host-news"); user_pref("mail.server.server6.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/News/host-news.mozilla.org"); user_pref("mail.server.server7.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/News/host-terpsichore.mcom.com"); user_pref("mail.server.server8.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/News/host-zia.mcom.com"); user_pref("mail.server.server9.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/News/host-news.mcom.com"); "Local Mail" and any new accounts you create with the account wizard will have directories that match the server key. examples: user_pref("mail.server.server10.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/ImapMail/server10"); user_pref("mail.server.server11.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/Mail/server11"); user_pref("mail.server.server12.directory", "/home/seth/.mozilla/seth/News/server12"); because the server key is unique, we avoid collisions on disk, and now you can have more than one mail account of the same type (pop, imap) on the same server! there is one problem, but it is an edge case. example: int 4.x, the user had a 4.x pop account on a server named "server1" they run -installer then they add additional pop accounts (using the wizard) on "server1" this would cause a collision on disk. I'm logging a bug about it, but for now, we aren't going to fix this. its very unlikely and I've got bigger fish to fry.

OK using 1999-11-09-11m11 commercial build NT 4.0: added multiple IMAP or POP accounts to same server get unique directory allocations using the server number.

OK using 1999-11-09-11m11 commercial build linux 6.0: OK multiple IMAP and POP accounts on same server. OK using 1999-11-09-16m11 commercial build mac OS 8.5.1: OK multiple IMAP and POP accounts on same server. Did not test for the edge case seth mentions.
