new folder creation restricted

[barbararose]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Went through tutorial but not able to create a new folder or subfolder as the OK disappears as soon as I begin to type the folder name. There are brackets to create a subfile but it will not open.

If you mean like subfolders as in a folder called Information under
accounnt <email address hidden>.
If that is what you mean right click on the <email address hidden> account in the
mail view not in settings. and choose New folder and just type in what
you want to call it.
You can also right click on a folder and make a new sub folder.
Does this help you any? If not can you please list the steps on how to
reproduce this bug and let us know if its Imap or Pop
Also need the version of Thunderbird you are using?

I do a richt click on the account and i choice "new folder" and then i have the form where i have to put the name,
i put the name, in the combobox i can't choice the parent folder, then when i want to click "OK" i can't, because it's disactivated.

NB: i'm sorry if there's any error in what i've written. because i'don't know english very well.

en Français :

Pour créer le sous dossier je fais un click droit sur le compte mail, je choisi "Nouveau Dossier", ensuite je met le nom du sous dossier que je veux créer, mais je ne peux pas choisir le nom du dossier parent car la liste est vide,et du coup le bouton "OK" est désactivé.

Merci
