50454 - Can't add SMTP server

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect, P1)

Description

[Richard Zach]

When I add a second SMTP server, it does not show up in the SMTP server list in
the account manager.

To reproduce:
1. Open account manager
2. Select SMTP servers
3. Click "Advanced"
4. Click "Add"
5. Enter SMTP server address, click OK

Expected result: new server shows up in list
Actual result: no new server entry

Linux build 2000.08.26.08

argh. this dialog hasn't changed in weeks. what happens if you try to 
resize the window? or maybe close the dialog and reopen it? is the server there? 
I'm wondering if it's just a tree refresh problem..

Comment 2

[Richard Zach]

Nope, neither worked.  First time I tried this, so I can't tell if it's
regressed or just never worked.

Comment 3

[Alec Flett]

it definately used to work :)
thanks for the info, I'll poke into it

If this is a problem, we'll want this for the release.   nominate nsbeta3
esther - do you have the same problem?

(hi, Richard - good to see you in bug reports again)

Comment 5

[lchiang]

+, P1 per mail triage

Comment 6

[lchiang]

to pdt: this is a P1 due to loss of functionality. One of the new features we 
advertise for Seamonkey is multiple SMTP support.

Comment 7

[esther]

Yes, the problem exists on all platforms.  I tested 08-28 builds on win98, linux 
and mac.

Comment 8

[Phil Peterson]

PDT agrees P1

I think a js exception is getting thrown here:

function updateControls() {

    dump("Update controls..\n");

    var isSecure = false;
        document.getElementById("smtp.isSecure").checked;


isSecure doesn't seem to be a method on the smtp server.

Comment 14

[Alec Flett]

After step #5 the new SMTP server appears in the list and remains there for the 
current session. 

After exiting and restarting then it disappears. Should I log a new bug? The 
default smtp server is nsmail-2, then I added nsmail-1. After exiting and 
restarting, nsmail-1 is not displaying. I searched for all SMTP entries in the 
prefs file and they are:

user_pref("mail.smtp.defaultserver", "smtp1");
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.hostname", "nsmail-2");
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.username", "");
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp2.auth_method", 0);
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp2.hostname", "nsmail-1");
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp2.username", "");
user_pref("mail.smtpservers", "smtp1,smtp1,smtp2");

nooo.. not again!! how does this bug keep coming back?!
I dunno. Can you experiement s'more? like adding a few more smtp servers, 
resizing the window, etc? I'll try on this end too.

Comment 18

[Alec Flett]

ugh, I think I figured out part of what's going on - the server is getting
added, but the first time you open the dialog, you only see one server, the
default one. I don't know why.
