139987 - Same authentication for POP/IMAP and SMTP

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 18565

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, enhancement)

Description

[Dominique VOLPE]

Hi,

I use the same authentication (server,name,password) for IMAP and SMTP.

When I open my mailbox, Mozilla asks me a password.
When I send a message, Mozilla asks me the same password again.

Like Communicator did, Mozilla should detect that I use the same server for
incoming and outgoing messages and "remember" the first password I typed.


Best regards

Dominique VOLPE

Reporter: can you still confirm that this is the case? This is not a dupe of
18565, since that bug was marked as fixed before this bug was even filed. It may
be a regression.

It WFM, though I use the same SMPT server for two different IMAP accounts.

Hi,

indeed, it is a dupe of #18565.

When I set the following pref, the problem is fixed :
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.auth_method", 2);

Thanks

Dominique
