BuildID:    2002053012

My mail system has user names in the form of user@domain.  I tested this bug by
adding a user without an @domain suffix, and login works fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an account on an IMAP server of the form user@domainname.
2. Attempt to log in to that IMAP account.


Actual Results:  Prompt for password, followed by login to <my imap server> failed.

Expected Results:  It should have logged in and displayed my mail folders, etc.

I have a similar bug when I'm trying to authenticate to an Exchange IMAP server 
with Mozilla. My full user name, that Exchange requires, 
is 'ntdomain/myusernamethere/Mäenpää Matti', and Mozilla seems to handle that 
user name without the 'ä' characters, and the authentication fails. This user 
name works e.g. with outlook express.

Wow! That's a terrible bug!

Can you reproduce this with a recent nightly build?
