132948 - Add a second IMAP/POP account & a duplicate SMTP server appears in the SMTP list

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[Ninoschka Baca]

Trunk build 2002-03-22: WinMe, Mac 10.1.3
haven't tried linux yet.

Overview: Adding a second account, unnecessarily adds a duplicate SMTP server to 
the list in the Advanced Outgoing Server dialog.

Steps to reproduce:
1. New profile
2. Add an IMAP (or POP) account (i.e. nsmail-1)
3. Open Account Settings, and go to the Outgoing SMTP Server panel, select the 
Advanced button and notice it lists one smtp server "nsmail-1 (Default)"
4. Add another IMAP (or POP) account
5. Open Account Settings, and go to the Outgoing SMTP Server panel, select the 
Advanced button.

Actual Results: Another smpt server entry appears:

- nsmail-1
- nsmail-1 (Default)

Each time another POP/IMAP server is added then another smtp server is added, 
unnecessarily.

Expected Results: Adding another POP/IMAP server should not add a duplicate smtp 
server. It should appear once:
- nsmail-1 (Default)

see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141314 and 

bugscape bug #14240 and http://bugscape.netscape.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14240#c17

I think this problem might be caused by the cloning we do of the smtp server in
verifyAccounts() in AccountWizard.js

Attachment: Proposed patch

With luck, this won't conflict with bug 141314, but I can't be sure (bugscape).

re-opening, to see if this is really a dup or not. (And to evaluate neil's patch)

Comment 10

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

re-assign to neil.

I've reviewed and tested his patch.

note to QA, when testing, consider the scenario where the first (and second etc)
accounts are news accounts.

we should still investigate the varada code that was supposed to cull out dups.
