Build 1999110908M11: Win32/NT4 Overview: After creating a new account with the Account Wizard the focus returns to the Browser window instead of the Mail window. Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch the Browser 2. Launch Mail (using the mail icon or Edit|Mail menu item) 3. Launch the Account Wizard by selecting Edit|Account Setup so that the Account Settings window appears. Then select the "New Account" button 4. Using the Account Wizard create a new mail account 5. On the "Congratulations!" dialog select the "Next" button and the Account Settings dialog will have focus 6. Select the OK button Actual Results: When the Account Settings dialog closes then the Browser window appears. Expected Results: I would have expected the Mail window to appear instead. Additional Information: - Linux build 11/09 has problems when closing the Account Settings dialog after creating an account. With Linux it crashes but I will log this in a separate bug. - Mac build 11/09 doesn't exhibit any problem. It performs as expected.

hrm. Can you try some other scenarios: - start the app with -mail (so that the first window is a mail window) then open a browser, then open the account manager? - other combinations of having different windows open, especially changing the order of windows being open - open two browser windows, or close all browser windows and then open a new one, etc. this is a toolkit bug, but these different cases will help narrow down the cause before we hand it off to danm.
Here are more scenarios that illustrate that the window directly behind the Mail window takes focus after creating a new account and selecting the OK button. 1. Launch using "-mail" so that the first window is Mail and the second window is the Console. After creating a new account and selecting OK the Console moves to the front and the Mail window is second. - Mail 1st, Console 2nd. - Create a new account, select OK in Account Settings and Console 1st, Mail 2nd. 2. Launches using "-mail" so that the first window is Mail. Select Edit|Navigator, select the Mail window so that Mail is first and the Browser is second. After creating a new account and selecting OK the Browser moves to the front and the Mail window is second. - Mail 1st, Browser 2nd, Console 3rd. - Create a new account, select OK in Account Settings and Browser 1st, Mail 2nd, Console 3rd. 3. Launch using "-mail" so that the first window is Mail. Select Edit|Navigator and it automatically loads a Mozilla page. Select Edit|Navigator again and go to a different URL (i.e. www.Disney.com). Select the Mail window so that Mail is first and arrange the browser windows 2nd and 3rd. After creating a new account and selecting OK the Browser directly behind the Mail window moves to the front and the Mail window becomes second. - Mail 1st, Browser/Mozilla 2nd, Browser/Disney 3rd, Console 4th. - Create a new account, select OK in Account Settings and Browser/Mozilla 1st, Mail 2nd, Browser/Disney 3rd, Console 4th.

I don't see this in todays win32 2000-03-10-12 M15 build for the aim or mail test case
Build 2000-03-10-13M15: NT4 Actually, I do see it in todays build. I migrated a POP account. After adding the another account (IMAP), selected OK in Account Settings and the focus goes to the Browser instead of back to Mail's 3-pane.
