Mailspring: Bug: Adding an IMAP account during "onboarding" hangs the app.

[tetious]

Describe the bug
Adding an IMAP account during "onboarding" hangs the app.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start the app.
2. Add IMAP mail account. (Fastmail)
3. Fix incorrect username after initial add fails. (email address != username in my case)
4. Very quick success message, followed by a white box and the following error on console:

{ TypeError: Cannot read property 'emailAddress' of undefined
    at _AccountStore.addAccount (file:///tmp/nylas-build/electron-packager/linux-x64/mailspring-linux-x64/resources/app/src/flux/stores/account-store.ts:223:18)

  message: 'Cannot read property \'emailAddress\' of undefined' } { pluginIds: [ 'onboarding' ] }

Results in a whitebox and total hang of the app.

Expected behavior
The account is added.

Same thing occurs with Fastmail on LMDE3. also using latest snap. Happens with the .deb package too.

same here, fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04. Cannot setup new account. Have cancelled 'Pro' version until this is resolved as I'm not able to access my email.

use the latest edge version which solve this issue :
sudo snap install mailspring --edge

Hey folks! Thanks for reporting this - I think it's related to a bug in the current release that causes issues with IMAP account auth. I'm really sorry it's taken so long for the fix in #1876 to get shipped. I will push out a 1.7.5 release tomorrow.

I think we can close it as a dup of #1848 but I'll keep it open until 1.7.5 ships for here for visibility. Thanks everyone for the comments and help triaging!

Hey folks, thanks for reporting this. Happy to say this has been resolved in 1.7.6 which shipped this afternoon. 🚀 The app should auto-update, but if it doesn't you can also grab the new release from GitHub's Releases tab or from https://getmailspring.com/download. Thanks for your patience and help tracking this down, enjoy the update!
