 I can't seem to reproduce this any of the issues you described.

 > When I try to change the Account Specific settings in the Torbirdy
 preferences, I cannot save them. I hit "Save", but nothing happens. (No
 error message in the terminal or js console - just nothing happens.) The
 dialog window does not close (and if I close it manually, the settings are
 not saved.)

 The dialog window should close and the settings should be saved.

 > However, I can set this (and the "check at startup setting", see #6336 )
 in the normal Thunderbird Account Settings now, and the settings remain
 persistent.
 > That is not how it is supposed to work, though, right?

 You can set privacy settings through the Thunderbird Account settings if
 you want to (we override them only on TorBirdy install) but TorBirdy's
 preferences dialog can handle those.

 > There seems to be another glitch in the Account Specific settings. When
 "Check for new messages every" is checked, the number of minutes is grayed
 out and cannot be changed. When it is unchecked, the number can be
 changed. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

 It is the way it should be -- checked : allow changing minutes, unchecked
 : disable changing minutes.

 So something is causing TorBirdy to cause an error and perhaps that is why
 you have the issues that you described.

 Can you please:

 1. check which version of TorBirdy are you using? (Latest: 0.0.11)
 2. watch the JS console for errors when you perform the above actions
 3. let us know which version of Thunderbird are you using?
