167675 - "My Server Requires Authentication" Equivalent Required

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Adnan]

Can not send e-mail, most possibly, Outlook`s "My Server Requires Authentication" Equivalent Feature is not implemented, ot if it implemented under secure connection feature, it is not 100% doing the same. Cause I tried all variations still can not send.

Reporter, did you try:
* from the mailnews menu: Edit > Mail...Settings
* select "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" at the top of the left pane
* check "Use name and password"
* type in a username

Reporter, your provider maybe doesn't offer authentication using PLAIN or LOGIN
mechanisms but CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5.

CRAM-MD5 has been implemented in the past week (see bug 41594) now. So please
try to reproduce your problem with a recent build if the steps in comment #1
didn't help.

Pleas make a comment about your experiences to this bug in any case, to help us
closing this bug or to assign it to someone who can work on it.

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.
