I have an email account with doteasy.com and they enforce a user name for example:
 name%patricksung.com
I have other POP3 accounts that do not have this kind of user name and they
works (as in able to login and download mails)

When trying to download mail from those accounts I got an error window saying:

"Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.patricksung.com responded:"

I have already tried to setup with a clean profile too but the same problem
shows up as well.

Using thunderbird version 0.8 (20040913)



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup new email account
2. put in user name with "%".
3. check email

Actual Results:  
When trying to download mail from those accounts I got an error window saying:

"Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.patricksung.com responded:"

Expected Results:  
login and download email.
Since mail.patricksung.com uses IMail I quite sure it's bug 258077. Please read
the comments there for remedy.
