261299 - When I go to the Mail Start Page keeps showing the login page for our intranet calendar (WebCalendar v0.9.43).

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[jep]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/download.html?http%3A//ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/0.8/ThunderbirdSetup-0.8.exe

I know WebCalendar uses cookies and you have the option to 'Save login
information with cookie so you don't need to register again'. Even if you check
it and do the login (it opens a browser window correctly), the next time you go
to the Mail Start Page you still find the login prompt as in the attachment.

This bug appeared in the past starting from version 1.something (really don't
remember, long time) of Mozilla and found it finally solved with MozillaMail
1.7.3... unfortunately as I switched to ThunderBird the bug appeared again.

WebCalendar is such a good calendar for the office and you really need it in the
Mail Start Page so once you launch ThunderBird you have a quick look to your cal.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch ThunderBird
2.Go to the Mail Start Page

Actual Results:  
See the login page requiring Username and Password for WebCalendar even if I
already authenticated with cookies turned on and saved password.

Expected Results:  
See the WebCalendar of the user in the Mail Start Page, since you stored login
information before.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
