123337 - Missing server name in SMTP failure alert

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

I just got an alert saying "The message could not be sent because connecting to
the SMTP server failed."

But I really really miss which SMTP server we're talking about. Since I have
multiple SMTP servers I'd like to be able to see which one is failing.

The message is here:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mailnews/compose/resources/locale/en-US/composeMsgs.properties#207

I'd like to see something like:
"The message could not be sent because connecting to the SMTP server
(smtp.mail.dk) failed."

The message has improved:

But the bug is still there:
the "%S" is not replaced by the server name :-(

Related but different:
*bug 66860 is about 'user account' name.
*the current bug is about 'SMTP server' name.
