130296 - IMAP/POP using proxy in 0.9.9 and not previously

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Eric Mahurin]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031104

For IMAP and POP servers behind a firewall (specified without a domain name),
previous versions of Mozilla did not try to use the proxies, but 0.99 now does
if the server names are not in the "no proxy" list.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose an IMAP/POP server behind a firewall
2. Setup proxies
3. Try to get messages

Actual Results:  Can't locate IMAP server X or X not a valid IMAP4 server

Expected Results:  Ask for password and get messages

Before I found I could put the mail servers in the no proxy list, I just about
reverted to 0.9.8

This changed because we added Socks support in Mailnews.

Comment 3

This is invalid

You set up a proxy but you don't want to use them for mail -> You must add your
server into the no-proxy list.

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

Right, put them in the exclusion list.  That should work for you.  Let me know
if it doesn't.
