65715 - Can't create 2 mail a/c wizards using the same domain.

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[Andrew Miller]

When editing the rdf files in defaults\isp\en-US
I am unable to create 2 wizards with separate account details but with the same
domain name.

If this line is changed in one of the files, both radio buttons appear in the
first page of the new account wizard.
<NC:nsIMsgAccount about="domain:domainName.com">

If however the domain names are the same in this line, only one radio button
will appear.

Alecf used to own isp setup. CC hime

Comment 3

[Alec Flett]

this is an architectural issue, we may have to change the way that domains are
stored in the ispdata file.

Comment 4

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

who's 'hime'???

Comment 5

[Andrew Miller]

Can we make sure that this has been assigned to the right component and nominated.
Thanks.

Comment 6

[Alec Flett]

it's already assigned to the right component, nominate it yourself if it's that
big a deal by putting an "nsbeta1" keyword.

Comment 7

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

Msanz/Johng - How important is this to CCK?

Comment 8

[danielmc]

Well it immediatly affects us in customising mail and news for the same domain

Comment 9

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

Adding intl keyword. 

Johng - Is there a keyword for Customization???

Comment 10

[scottputterman]

reassigning to msanz since Varada isn't the correct owner anymore.  We probably
need to change the component owner to the correct person.

How often are we going to need to do this?  Can you give examples?

Hi, Scott:


This is an isp account setup 'architecture' problem as alecf suggested. Who's
taking alecf's mail/news bug now?

Also, I'd say it is common for an ISP or enterprise customer to have news and
mail servers share the same domain name. I think this is more of a core issue
and it affects US domestic market, too.

Comment 12

[msanz]

Scott, I reassign to you. This is not an international bug that I can see, and
it's a bug in the client.

Comment 13

[scottputterman]

msanz. It's not an I18N bug but I thought you were managing CCK.  Who is the
right CCK engineer to give this bug to?

Comment 14

[msanz]

still hiring, hopefully there will be a name in the next two weeks

Comment 15

[scottputterman]

marking nsbeta1-

Comment 16

Hi, Scott:

As I mentioned earlier, this is a mail account setup problem and
needs to be addressed with messenger code. The feature owner was
alecf. Who in mailnews team owns this feature now?

The function of CCK is to customize client settings instead of changing
client's architecture or core feaures. For example, CCK won't be able
to configurate multiple account setup if the core feature does not exist!

Comment 17

[scottputterman]

OK, reassigning to racham.  Moving to future milestone.

Comment 18

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

Adding jenm to cc list.

Comment 19

[tao]

Put it on l12y radar.

Hi, Andrew:


Would you provide the 2 rdf files in question? I'd like to take a look to see if
there is a workaround.

Comment 20

[Andrew Miller]

Attachment: Customised wizard file

Comment 21

[msanz]

changing QA contact to blee

Comment 22

[scottputterman]

I'm marking nsbeta1+ but I'm not sure what to do with this since there doesn't
appear to be a mozilla0.9.1 milestone which is where I'd like to put this.  

Comment 23

[scottputterman]

moving to mailnews Account Manager and marking 0.9.1

Comment 24

[blee]

changing QA to andreasb for now.

Comment 25

[Andreas Becker]

Changing QA contact to ji for now (Mail/News component owner).

Comment 26

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

can someone tell me why this is ns confidential?

Comment 27

[Alec Flett]

I don't see any reason.. making it public.

Comment 28

[scottputterman]

moving to 0.9.2

Comment 29

[ji]

Hi Daniel, is it okay for CCK to have the current target milestone?

Comment 30

[danielmc]

Yes, there is a manual workaround.

Comment 31

[scottputterman]

I meant for this to be 0.9.2.  I'll move it, but if it turns out there is a
workaround then maybe we can really keep this in 0.9.3

Comment 32

[scottputterman]

moving back to 0.9.3

Comment 33

[bobj]

Daniel, What is the workaround?

Shruti, Please explain the CCK dependency on a fix for this.

Comment 34

[Shruti Vasudevan]

It is common for an ISP to have news and mail servers share the same domain 
name. Right now in CCK, we are forcing the ISP to use different domain names for 
Mail and News which is not an acceptable feature. Also, the UI for the CCK 
wizard has 2 domain name fields which may not be necessary.

Comment 35

[danielmc]

The workaround was to treat news as a seperate domain and have the user put the 
domain sting in themselves.

Comment 36

[scottputterman]

moving to 0.9.4

Comment 37

[scottputterman]

moving to 1.0

Comment 38

[bobj]

johng or susiew,
   Can we get data on how many ISPs this will actually affect?

Comment 39

[Kristi Fredrickson]

Adding this information to CCK 6.2 Release Notes

Comment 40

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

mass re-assign.

Comment 41

[Arthur]

Is this bug still applicable? Is the CCK still the same?

Comment 42

[Michael Irigoyen]

Reporting that this bug is still live, currently in Thunderbird 2.0.0.14. It is seriously hindering our ability to provide clean email account setups.

Comment 43

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

The patch in bug 400931 takes care of it...
