106351 - Cancel passwd dialog still can send out mails

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[ji]

*****Observed with win32 10/22 0.9.4 build******

With above build, when sending out mails requires passwd for the account, 
cancel the passwd dialog still can send out mails.
1. Launch browser.
2. Launch mail with an IMAP account. (I don't see this problem with a pop
account.) I used the same server (nsmail-2) for IMAP and SMTP. And I set Sent
folder on IMAP account to hold the sent copies.
3. When passwd dialog for mail account comes up, cancel it, don't login.
4. Compsoe a mail, click on Send, the passwd dialog pops up again.
5. Click on Cancel on passwd dialog. The mail is sent out! But it's not copied
to Sent folder.

With a new profile, set up an IMAP account with it. First time cancel the passwd
dialog doesn't send out mail. But click on Send again to bring up passwd dialog
second time, Cancel the passwd dialog still can send out mail.

Unless you told SMTP to require a password (which is not done by default), we've
never required a password for sending. You are being prompted for your imap
password so we can copy to your online sent folder. If you hit cancel then we
aren't going to copy the message to your sent folder since we can't log in. But
that has nothing to do with SMTP which is the protocol used to send the message.
I think you are confusing the two =).

Please re-open if your smtp server requires authentication and we are still
sending the message although in theory that should be impossible since in that
case the server would reject our attempt to send.

Thanks for explanation. It's kind of scary to think that somebody can send out
mail from  my account w/o passwd. :-)
Where can I set smtp passwd? I don't see it on Account Manager.
