167656 - You can't cancel Authorization for Newsgroups

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

win2k build 20020907.. and Mozilla 1.0

1) Use a news server with authorization
2) Subscripe a new group
3) You get the headers because you are already logged in from another Newsgroup
 on the same server (stored Password/username)
4) wait until the server forgets your login (timeout)
5) select properties/Offline/Download now for the new newsgroup.
6) You get an Auth dialog
7) select cancel because you want to read the Accountinformation in a stored
pop3 mail.
8) you get the Auth dialog again for the next Message
9) -> step 7) (until you canceled all messages in this newsgroup)
10) buy a new mouse because the mouse switch is dead after 3000 clicking

I can provide an Account for testing (mail to the developer)

MozillaAS v1.0.x is not supported anymore.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?
(or Thunderbird v2.0.0.14 ?)

This might be fixed in similar way as for POP3, see bug 1882073.
