171947 - "Can't connect to..." popup prevents redial attempts

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 74331

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[phil]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20020926
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20020926

My mail account is set to check for mail every 15 minutes (say), and my modem is
set to auto-disconnect after 3 minutes idle. When/if a dialup attempt fails I
get a popup message informing me (can't connect to pop3, or whatever). If I
don't click ok it won't try again in 15 minutes (which obviously might happen
whenever I'm not at the PC for an hour or so). 

The popup should be 'for info' and should not cause Mozilla to halt. 

This matters as I often have 20 500k messages/attachments waiting (which would
have already been downloaded if Mozilla wasn't sitting there waiting for me to
click ok!)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set Mozilla to check email every 1 minute
2. turn modem off so receive fails (!) and popup message appears
3. turn on modem and send yourself an email using Hotmail or similar
4. wait for it to arrive (it won't unless you click ok on the popup) 

Actual Results:  
Nothing, it just waits for ok to be clicked

Expected Results:  
Attempt to check for emails (again) after 1 minute

For me this looks like a dupe of Bug 74331.
