Description of problem:

New install of fedora 20, with /home carried over from previous f14 install. Never used thunderbird before.

The issue is that although it looks like there is no problem to set up email accounts which are new, based on the search facility, when I've tried to set up thunderbird with an existing email account the email address and password fields are greyed out, and also so is the continue button. I can edit my name, but that is not a lot of help since it is already filled in correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up thunderbird
2. Attempt to attach to exiting email accounts
3.

Actual results:

Doesn't appear to work

Expected results:

Should allow set up of existing email accounts

The text in email address and password is grey because it's a hint where to put what. 

Are you sure these inputs are not editable, because I cannot reproduce (I have them greyed out but still can fill them).

Hmm, tried it again and it does seem to be working. No idea why I couldn't edit it earlier though, clicking in the boxes didn't appear to work, and I did try it several times to be sure.

Sorry for the false alarm.
