OS X Mail Account Bundles fail

I have been trying to use Mac Mail Account bundles at PSU to auto-configure Mac Mail on 10.5.3. I found that there is an issue following the documentation at the moment.

The documentation:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSXServer/Conceptual/XServer_ProgrammingGuide/Articles/MailAccountBundles.html#//apple_re/doc/uid/TP40002464

States that I can locate my MailAccount.plist under a folder following the reverse-ordered ICANN domain name, in this case: "edu.psu.mailaccounts". There are multiple locations where this directory can be stored,

• ~/Library/Mail/AccountTypes

• /Library/Mail/AccountTypes

• /Network/Library/Mail/AccountTypes


I tried the first two and they didn't work.

I eventually had some interns just add the <dict> with my settings to the com.apple.mailaccounts MailAccounts.plsit file. It worked after that. Here is the plist that I used. I just copied the <dict> sections:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Credit goes to Rob Kelly and Dave Williams (Interns) for figuring out that it works in the com.mac.mailaccounts MailAccounts.plist.
