I use Mozilla and Netscape 7.0pr1 to read my AOL mail using the imap server. When I try to close the mail window or quit Mozilla/Netscape, I get the spinning color wheel. The app will not close. I have to Force Quit to kill the application.
Are you using the same user profile in both Mozilla and Netscape 7?
Keywords: hang
I am using the same profile for Mozilla (.9x through 1.0RC3) and Netscape. I tried it this morning w/ Netscape 7pr1 and experienced the same problem. I am internal to AOL and use the IMAP server to get mail.
Greg, the Release Notes for Netscape 7 specify that profiles are not to be shared between Mozilla and Netscape, so this isn't really a bug. (See [http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/ns7/relnotes/7pv1.html] under the heading, "Preferences.") (Yes, I know, if they can't share profiles then you shouldn't be able to. That's a seperate issue.) I'm going to mark this Resolved/Invalid because of that. It's a valid issue, but the problem is of a different nature. If you disagree, feel free to reopen this bug.

Mail hangs when I use Mozilla .99 through 1.0RC3. This happens when I connect to imap.mail.aol.com from inside the AOL network (I am an employee). If I connect to the IMAP server and then try to close the mail window, I get the 'spinning color wheel'. The only way to close Mozilla is to Force Quit. I thought, hey, let's see if it works w/ 6.22 or 7pr1 and sure enough it still hangs. I was just trying to show that it has been a problem for sometime and is in all the code, not just specific to a version or release.

Ah, I understand now, Greg P. That being said, IMAP mail WorksForMe using FizzillaCFM/2002052305 (RC3), although to a different IMAP server than imap.mail.aol.com. Can you reproduce the problem using a new Mozilla user profile?
