140363 - cancel log in when send lost the composition window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Frank Tang]

I think this is a very bad bug.
I launch Windows 2002042406 branch build on my WinXP
Don't log into the IMAP4 mail account.
1. File:New:Message
2. type something.
3. click send
4. the mail composition will show you the login in dialog to enter password.
5. click cancel instead of fill in password
expect result:
don't send the mail but still have the mail composition window open, if I click
the send again, it will prompt me that password dialog box so I can send it again

actual result:
the password dialogbox dismiss, but the composition window disappear. The mail
did not send out and what I typed in the last 30 minutes got lost.

I think this is an [adt2] bug. Data lost.

The password promt is needed to save a copy of the message that has been just
sent into your remote folder (on the IMAP server). Sure if you cancel it, we
should keep the compose window (and that's currently a bug) but the message has
been already sent.
