Trying to make a new account, I have problem. I hit the New Account button in the Account Settings dialog, go through the wizard, and hit the Finish button.

Now, back in the Account Settings dialog, the list entry for my new account shows no name.

Oh, and after this whole process, I can't dismiss the Account Settings dialog either.

it looks like you somehow didn't enter an SMTP server name or something, or at least the value of the SMTP server name in the dialog got set to null... prefs was asserting because were were trying to set the hostname to NULL. However, this is a case I should handle without making prefs assert. Fix was easy, I have it ready in my tree.

this should be fix for M11, BTW

What happend here is I hit the Finish button before I'd got to the screen where you enter the account name. So I was trying to create an account with an empty name.

Bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13587 talks about getting rid of the Finish button except in the last panel of the wizard.

fixed by clearing this pref when we are told to assign it to NULL

Mac: Waiting on bug#14146 to be fixed before verifying.

Build 1999111112M11: Mac 8.5.1 Verified Fixed. I created a new account, left the SMTP Server entry blank, advanced through all the Account Wizard dialogs without a problem.
