245466 - Don't save the port number of an IMAPS server when it is not the default port (993)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Baptiste SIMON]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308

I'd like to setup my mail client (Thunderbird 0.8 and, at work, Mozilla 1.4.2)
to connect to my IMAP server through SSL and the port 143 (not the default one,
which is the port 993) because of a firewall which permits communication only on
few ports. But every thing I can do, Mozilla can't remember this specific port
number, and reset it automatically to the default one.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup an IMAPS server under Mozilla-Mail or Mozilla-TBird
2. Set its port number to another thing than 993
3. Validate
4. Verify that the port number has been reset to 993 (the default one)

Actual Results:  
Mozilla forget the specific port number

Expected Results:  
Remember our preferences

This seems to be fix in thunderbird-0.7.1 so this is obsolete.
