143900 - mozilla-mail stops working until mozilla-navigator has reached its destination and is transferring data

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Description

[Christopher Orihuela]

When i type a new url in mozilla-navigator and press Enter or click Go, and next
start mozilla-mail to check my mail, mozilla-mail doesn't ask me for my
POP3-pass nor lets me check for new messages clicking on Get Msgs, it doesn't
stablish any connection to my POP3-server until mozilla navigator has reached
the previous URL typed and trasfers data. It's not a big problem, but when you
want to go to a slow URL and  check for new mail at the same time, you need to
waint until mozilla-navigator has stablished a conection (or say that that URL
doesn't exist).

Steps:
1.Type a very slow URL in mozilla-navigator and click Go (or press enter)
2.Try to check your email while mozilla navigator hasn´t reached its target
(while resolving host, for example).

mozilla-mail refuses to stablish a conection to your POP server until
mozilla-navigator has begun transferring data.

Intended behaviour. Can't imagine why connection establishment is taking so
long, but that may be another bug. Try with a modern build, and if you are still
getting problems, then reopen.
