You can't create a new account when selecting "local mbox file" as protocol: there's a popup alert "The default inbox folder doesn't exist" even if this inbox exists. This test has been introduced in revision 1.105.2.73 of the file src/prefs_account.c: http://cvs.sunsite.dk/viewcvs.cgi/sylpheedclaws/sylpheed-claws/src/prefs_account.c But the value of the wrong widget is tested (the input field for pop3 protocol) and the test always fails. The following patch solve the problem (I will upload it): diff -urN claws-mail-2.7.2.orig/src/prefs_account.c claws-mail-2.7.2/src/prefs_account.c --- claws-mail-2.7.2.orig/src/prefs_account.c 2007-01-26 07:27:03.000000000 +0100 +++ claws-mail-2.7.2/src/prefs_account.c 2007-02-07 20:50:01.000000000 +0100 @@ -2529,7 +2529,8 @@ return -1; } if (protocol == A_POP3 || protocol == A_LOCAL) { - const gchar *mailbox = gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(receive.inbox_entry)); + GtkWidget *inbox_entry = (protocol == A_POP3 ? receive.inbox_entry : receive.local_inbox_entry ); + const gchar *mailbox = gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(inbox_entry)); FolderItem *inbox = folder_find_item_from_identifier(mailbox); if (inbox == NULL) { alertpanel_error(_("The default inbox folder doesn't exist.")); Should be reported upstream, but a bugzilla account is needed to do so...
