102642 - SMAPI can't distinguish mail accounts with same user name

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Simple MAPI, defect, P3)

Description

[yulian chang]

With same user name but different account name and password, SMAPI can not
distinguish them and always brings up new message window with first created mail
account.

Repro steps:

1. Set up multiple mail accounts (for example, [e-mail] and
[e-mail])in Mozilla test profile.
2. Launch Mozilla and select the test profile
3. In Prefs, select "Use Mozilla Mail as the default mai l application"
4. With Mozilla running, launch MSWord and attempt to send an email
5. In Mozilla Mail dialog, enter username and password for [e-mail] which was
created later than [e-mail]

Actual result: new message window is launched with [e-mail]

Expected result: new message window is launched with [e-mail]

This bug may be irrelevant since the logon dialog is no longer launched. 
Yulian, are you able to select the proper sender from the drop down in the
Compose window?

with 10-11 0.9.4 Wins build to test,
yes, the proper sender can be selected from the drop down in the Compose window.

No dialog is displayed at the time of Login to enter user name. Also proper user
mail account can be selected from the drop down in Compose Wnd thus allowing to
distinguish different mail accounts for the same username / profile. Marking as
Fixed.

verified on mozilla & netscape trunk builds 2002022703. A profile containing
multiple email accounts for SMAPI allows the user to select any email account in
the compose window.
