139630 - Can't view received e-mails

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[Max Annen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; .NET 
CLR 1.0.3705)
BuildID:    2002042209

When I receive my e-mail through Mozilla RC1 (Mail and Newsgroups), I cannot 
view the messages at all. All I see is a blank white page where my e-mail 
messages should be when I view my inbox. I cannot view my e-mail with 
milestone 0.9.9 either. However, with Mozilla milestone 0.9.8 my e-mail shows 
up every time. 

Also, the compose button when pressed will not load up a blank message where I 
can write and send an e-mail to somebody. This button has actually never 
worked since Mozilla 0.9.8

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start up Mozilla
2.Go to Mail and Newsgroups
3.Seleect get new messages


Actual Results:  Mozilla downloads my e-mail from the mail server and I cannot 
see or view my e-mail messages.

Expected Results:  After Mozilla downloads my e-mail I should be able to read 
and print my e-mail messages.

The broken compose button may be related to the viewing e-mail messages 
problem. Again, these features haven't worked since Mozilla 0.9.8.

Can you see the headers getting dowloaded or you see nothing in the thread-pane ?

When I connect to my mail server Mozilla downloads new e-mail messages I can 
see on the status bar (at the bottom of the Mail and News windows) that have 
been downloaded. However, when I look above in the window (thread-pane) I do 
not see any messages at all.

This bug is rather strange. Mozilla milestone 0.9.9 and above have the same 
type of problem with the Mail and News part of the program. The messages get 
downloaded, but I cannot view them and cannot find where the messages are 
being stored (if they even are).

I hope the Mozilla Team can track this bug down, because it has been a problem 
for quite some time now. Most likely everybody (Mozilla Team) is busy 
preparing for the release of 1.0.

Have you seen or duplicated this bug before? It would be nice to fix this 
before the big release of 1.0, because this is a major feature that cannot be 
broken for otherwise a perfectly good browser. 

Thanks,

Max Annen

WFM, also this bug was encountered using an old (3+ weeks) build of Mozilla, if
this bug persists using a current build, please get this bug reopened.
