(does one frown on top-posting around here? that's what I find most
logical/readable, personally - or maybe I just rationalise my laziness)
Daniel, thanks for replying and indeed there is a work-around
which worked for me, and perhaps I was just unlucky to encounter
an intermittent bug. I know it is easier to complain than code
a solution, but in this case, I don't see why "create account"
would *ever* skip the intermediary step which allows one to
clarify what type of account... (regardless of the cryptic
preference that is apparently involved). Just my two cents.

Thanks for the fast reply, but I'd rather keep it on list.
Are you saying there is no solution short of completely
re-creating a profile ?
I am not using the latest version (that would be 2.24) but 2.21,
would it make a difference ?
PS: searching the newsgroup some more, I found a hint pointing out
that setting mail.server.serverX.valid=true in about:config
allows the account creation wizard to work correctly again.
Philip thanks for pointing me to a known bug (with a documented
work-around), but sad to see such an annoying problem has remained
unaddressed for so long (at least 2010 it seems)

Two things, Bernard,
1. I think there is a problem with using the lists, such that if you
"Forward" rather then "Reply", the "Reply" goes, as e-mail, to the
person who replied to the list, rather than to the list itself. Or is it
that if you reply, it goes to the individuals e-mail rather than to the
list.. and,
2. The reason this fault, and its work-a-round, has hung around for
soooo long is that it doesn't happen every time, so is a problem to
solve!! And once the work-a-round is put in place things work right, so
why bother looking for a solution??
HTH
and by "this fault", in point 2, I mean the "known bug (with a
documented work-around)" from Bernard's post!!
