Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Paul Antonucci]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

can send but not receive email. I get an error message that connection to
mail.comcast.net tiemd out appears. I can get messages by logging in to the
comcast.net homepage and going to My Mail. I log in to web page with the same
info that is used with Mozilla Email component. Is this a bug or has something
gone wrong in my profile with comcast?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mail or once open, click Get Messages
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
it says it is working but eventually times out. The stop button will not stop
the attempted(?) connection. Usually, closing the mail window works.

Expected Results:  
Connected and retrieved mail.

This problem started happening with 1.3b which also was crashing way too often.
I'd reinstalled a few times, without any change in the crashes. I dropped back
to 1.3a and the crashes are gone.

Is this still a problem? (e.g. with latest release of Mozilla)
Can you receive emails from other servers?
