Going back to memory lane, probably more than a year ago, you couldn't 
edit your existing account. Laughably, if you had to make a change to 
say your username or mail server (say you made a mistake on setup or 
your mail server changes), you had to create a new account, send over 
the mail, send over the prefs for that old account, etc.which made 
Mozilla the only mailer that I knew of that would require you to do such 
things. Took quite a while for them to change it because, I think, a few 
things were dependent on the original info you entered.

Although it was real trying to use it back then for a variety of 
reasons, I stuck with it to help with testing and what not. And it's 
good enough now that I use it as my main mailer. Not as nice as say 
Eudora, Evolution, etc., but  I can use it on every platform in the 
house (MacOS X, 9, Windows, Linux PPC and x86) which is nice.

may have what you're looking for. Installed it on my Windows Moz setup, 
and it worked ok.
