I mean that the information that does *not* belong in the acct.ini file is not deleted
when the file is altered through "account settings".
Only the fields that have changed are updated. All other fields contain their rubbish.
I think that with every update of the acct.ini file, all fields should be updated. This
way you maintain a *clean* and reliable ini file.

I do not know why these files get corrupted in the first place, and how this effects
PMMail.
I hope others will have a look at their acct.ini files to see if this problem is unique
for my system or not (I guess not).

Remains the question: How to get a clean acct.ini file??
(Besides recreating the account from scratch)
