201800 - mozilla mail startup requests password for non-existent pop3 server

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[warren]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

I had to upgrade to 1.3 after 1.0.2 had self-destructed at 3 this morning. After
struggling many hours to get the old profile accepted, it finally recognizes the
old emails and bookmarks. But it pops up a box asking for password to
non-existent mangled account name. It has TWO '@' signs in the non-existent
server name.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start mozilla
2. There it is
3.

Actual Results:  
mail starts up then immediately a popup request for password

Expected Results:  
just start up and password manager already has the accountname & passwords for
the existing 2 pop3 servers.

The profile was restored by cutting and pasting the old profile into the
'default profile' then renamed to 'My Profile'.

Do you see a problem in "prefs.js" that could explain this ?
Are tha mail-path correct in this profile ?

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
