Hi,

I removed an existing POP account in order to convert it to IMAP. The removal worked with no problems.

When I attempt to recreate it using File->New->Existing Mail Account, the Email address and Password fields are greyed out. Accessing the same dialog via Tools->Account Settings->Account Actions->Add Mail Account, same problem.

Thank You

This works for me. I get a popup dialog with 3 input fields: Name, Mail and Password. The placeholders for Mail and Password show some grey text, but they are not disabled.

Thank You - I'm embarrassed, I could have sworn I tried typing in the email field. A dose of old-timers perhaps.
