167014 - multiple connects in windows if using multiple mail server

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Dietmar Rabich]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

If no connection exists, Mozilla start a connect with the MS Windows services
(MS DUN?). If more than one mailbox (account) and more than one mail server is
used Mozilla tries to connect to each server at the same time. Only the first
connection is established, all other failed the first time (because the first
one works). So for each mailbox with the failure the mails must fetched again.
(But no new connection must established because the first one exists.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use more than one mailbox and more than one mail server.
2. Start Mozilla with option "-mail" on MS Windows with no connection to the
internet.


Actual Results:  
The first connection will be established. The others not.
A message appears with the information that the others connection failed. The
first connection still works and Mozilla works well. The second try to retrieve
the mails with the working connection is successfull.

Expected Results:  
No additional try to establish a connection shoul initiated while the first one
is not finished.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
