166876 - SMTP Error message and failure

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[Robert Morton]

Get message: "An error occured sending mail. Unable to connect to SMTP server
%s.  The server..."
Version: Mozilla 1.1   Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1) 
Gecko/20020826

Working find and then when I tried to add a new smtp server for my school
account it would not connect to either.  Noticed a lot of empty entries and
deleted them.  Removed the extra one for school account, still no fix.  Finaly
removed the sbcglobal address, and then re-entered it.  Still no fix.  Problem
is keeping me from sending mail thru Mozilla, my prefered platform.  

Newsgroup access still is working fine.  

I cannot say problem is reproducable.  

Thanks

Bob Morton

This is a known bug. Your SMTP Accounts are corrupted.

You can try this :
Delete all SMTP Accounts in outgoing Servers/Advanced
restart mozilla
create your Account again and also be sure that you have the correct Account in 
Pop3-Account/Advanced

If you still have the problem you must manually fix your prefs.js file :-(

(AFAIK This is one the biggest Mozilla problems and it's still not fixed)
