155841 - After changing the outgoing SMTP-server it does no longer work

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[Bernd Porr]

Mozilla 1.0/1.1a worked fine with the first setting for the outgoing server.
The only strange thing was that in the advanced SMTP settings there was
the sever _twice_. After having changed the sever name I get the message
"Unable to connect to the SMTP-server". However the server is never contacted.
There is no network-traffic before this error message. If I erase all entries
and insert a brand-new entry as SMTP-server it works again. Something with
the list of servers does not work. With mozilla 1.0 I get could not connect
to %S or something like this. /Bernd

This is also happening in the nightly builds for Windows (ME). I can't change my
user name.

I've seen this occur with 1.0 on Windows XP on four machines, and with 1.1 on XP
and 98 on two machines.  As described, we had to remove every SMTP server listed
except the default, create a new default with the correct settings, and delete
the old default.  Nothing out of the ordinary could be seen in any of the
duplicate SMTP servers listed, yet they failed to work, with the two error
messages already mentioned.
