Original description:

I created a custom IMAP account.

When I attempt to edit it, most fields (server address, port, etc.) are greyed
out. So is the save button.

What's worse, encryption settings for both IMAP and SMTP are set to SSL/TLS,
even though I set them to "None" when creating the account. And I cannot edit
them either.

  * **Category** set to _accounts_

At this time, we don't allow changing those fields because it's possible for
you to then point a created local account at an entirely different mailbox,
which Geary doesn't support or detect. We'd like to offer this in the future,
but only when we feel we have a better grasp of all the potential issues.

  * **Subject** changed from _Cannot edit IMAP account: most fields and save button are greyed out_ to _Cannot edit IMAP account: network connection fields are greyed out_

I've updated the title to be more specific about what's at issue here.

In my point of view the real issue is this :

"encryption settings for both IMAP and SMTP are set to SSL/TLS, even though I
set them to "None" when creating the account. And I cannot edit them either"

This is a issue that also affects me.

#4

Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago

  * **Category** changed from _accounts_ to _server-support_
  * **Target version** set to _0.4.0_

That sounds like a bug. We'll take a look at this.

#5

Updated by Maia Kozheva 8 months ago

The reason I was attempting to edit the account in the first place is because
the "Download mail" setting is not shown when adding an account, only when
editing.

####

#6

Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago

Yes. We want creating an account to be as simple as possible, that's why it's
not shown.

You are able to change the "Download mail" setting, right?

####

#7

Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago

I've created a separate ticket for the SSL problems when editing an account:
#6761.

#8

Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago

Maia, as I noted in #6761, I can't reproduce the problem where the server
settings are created with None for security but display later as SSL/TLS. What
kind of server are you trying to connect to? If you could answer on #6761
(http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6761) that would be helpful.

#9

Updated by Jim Nelson 8 months ago

Maia, we have reproduced the server setting problem after all. We should have
that fixed in 0.3.1.

Yes, these problems are fixed for me in 0.3.1.

Editing an account is still disallowed, but encryption settings are correctly
remembered and I can now change the "download mail" setting.
