[BlueOnyx:06454] Re: Fwd: Email user/alias problem

[Jeffrey Pellin]

When I run this manually I get no error messages either in the console or
in the log. I retried adding an alias and had to enable a dormant email
account to do this. The default email alias was added, but not the one I
tried to add.

Very wierdy ..
