314861 - When new Profile is made, the displayed port number of the smtp server is zero

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Hiro]

When POP account is made with a new profile, the port number of the SMTP server is illegally displayed as an account manager. 
(Mail can be sent.)

It should display this by port number 25 of default. 

1.8branch build version 1.5 (20051102)

Problem was recreated with Thunderbird latest-trunk win32-ZIP build - Thunderbird version 1.6a1 (20051103) and Seamonkey latest-trunk 2005110310/Win32-ZIP build on MS Win-2K.

(1)prefs.js entries after new profile/first account definition
   user_pref("mail.smtp.defaultserver", "smtp1");
   user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.hostname", "xxx.yyy.zzz");
   user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.username", "aaa");
   user_pref("mail.smtpservers", "smtp1");
(2)Go to "Outgoing Server(SMTP) Settings"
   "port : 0" is displayed. 
(3)Edit the SMTP entry, and press OK
   "port : 25" is displayed. 
(4)prefs.js entries after (3)
   user_pref("mail.smtp.defaultserver", "smtp1");
   user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.hostname", "xxx.yyy.zzz");
   user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.username", "aaa");
   user_pref("mail.smtpservers", "smtp1");
(5)Close "Outgoing Server(SMTP) Settings" panel by pressing OK
   user_pref("mail.smtp.defaultserver", "smtp1");
   user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.auth_method", 1);
   user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.hostname", "xxx.yyy.zzz");
   user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.port", 25);
   user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.try_ssl", 0);
   user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.username", "aaa");
   user_pref("mail.smtpservers", "smtp1");

No problem on SMTP connection as you say "Mail can be sent", because smtp1.auth_method=1 & smtp1.port=25 & smtp1.try_ssl=0 are defaulted if these prefs.js entries are not found for the SMTP.

This is really a "core" issue, because the exact same thing happens in 
SeaMonkey (on the trunk).

I'm kind of guessing, but, I think the problem is here:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/thunderbird/source/mailnews/base/prefs/resources/content/smtpEditOverlay.js

65     gSmtpPort = document.getElementById("smtp.port");

76         gSmtpPort.value = server.port ? server.port : "";

In other areas, I see that there is the idea that you set the port to the port value when it is empty:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/thunderbird/source/mailnews/base/prefs/resources/content/am-server.js

181     var defaultPort = protocolInfo.getDefaultServerPort(false);
182     var defaultPortSecure = protocolInfo.getDefaultServerPort(true);
183     var port = document.getElementById("server.port");
184     var portDefault = document.getElementById("defaultPort");

187     if (isSecureSelected) {
188       portDefault.value = defaultPortSecure;
189       if (port.value == "" || (port.value == defaultPort && prevDefaultPort != portDefault.value))
190         port.value = defaultPortSecure;
191     } else {
192         portDefault.value = defaultPort;
193         if (port.value == "" || (port.value == defaultPortSecure && prevDefaultPort != portDefault.value))
194           port.value = defaultPort;
195     }

WADA, can you still reproduce this in TB13?
