Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 When I try to configure a second mail server, I checkbox POP and enter my hostname. However, when I click OK, it says "please enter a valid hostname" even when I type in a valid host name. It doesn't seem to matter what I type into this box -- Mozilla rejects the hostname. I previously submitted this bug, but somehow it seems to have been lost from your database. I have experienced this bug with previous versions of Mozilla. I had hoped that by upgrading to 1.2b, it would go away, but it doesn't. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Menu->Edit->Mail and Newsgroup Account Settings 2. Click Add Account button 3. Check email account, then Next 4. Enter my name and email address, click Next 5. Select POP, type "tynant.reservoir.com" (without quotes) into "Incoming Server" (my one existing email server is localhost, but it tells me that it will use my outgoing server, tynant.reservoir.com:465 as the default.). Click Next Actual Results: Alert box pops up that says "Please enter valid hostname" No matter what I type, I get this alert box. Expected Results: It should have accepted this server name and let me move on. It would even be better to let me just type the name and then fail to connect when I try to read mail. The alert box pops up so quickly that it almost seems like it's checking something random rather than what I am typing into the box. It would be much better as well if there were some indication of why Mozilla thinks the host name is invalid. It doesn't matter if you check the box that says POP or IMAP.
