160157 - cannot update outgoing smtp server

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 146488

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Martin Espinoza]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 
1.0.3705)
BuildID:    20020730

Since attempting to update my smtp server (for outgoing mail) when I try to 
send mail I get the following window:

Title: Send Message Error
Text:
Sending of message failed.
An error occurred sending mail: Unable to connect to SMTP server %S. The server 
may be down or may be incorrectly configured. Please verify that your Mail/News 
account settings are correct and try again.

Buttons: OK


Going to the "Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings" and clicking on "Outgoing 
Server (SMTP)" shows the proper mail server in the "Server Name:" field. 
Unfortunately this has no effect.

Furthermore, if I enter the "Advanced..." box then when I leave that window 
(which looks fine) I cannot exit the account settings via the "OK" button - I 
must "Cancel".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I don't know if this is reproducible on other systems, I don't have anywhere 
else to test.

I went to 1.1a due to a bug in 1.0's mail (frequent crashing) so moving back to 
1.0 is not a fix for me :(

Actual Results:  See description.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should have updated my server and allowed me to send 
mail.

My old SMTP server used to be listed in the Advanced... window (as mentioned 
above) no less than four times. In addition there was a BLANK entry which I 
deleted.

If I remove my SMTP server then I get an entry in Advanced... 
called "(Default)" but after I edit that for my current settings and then OK 
from the Advanced... window, I cannot use the OK button to exit and save 
preferences (as above.)

the advanced dialog's OK button failing is bug 150471
