182754 - Different Username then part before @, gets ignored by Wizard for the SMTP Username entry

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 107953

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[Carsten Menke]

I remarked this early in 1.0 and it is still present in 1.2 as well as on
Netscape 7.0.

Problem, when you have a different username than the part before @ in your email
adress, then the Wizard enters despite of that the local part of the @domain in
the Username field of the SMTP Username entry. This prevents you from sending
Mail, if you do not change it manually.

Example: if you have an account at GMX.net, your username is when signing on, on
the webpage [e-mail] but if you use the pop service, you have to use your
Customer ID as username.

Reproduce:

Launch the MailNews Wizard to create an new mail account, fill out all fields.
But use a different username then the username in your email adress
([e-mail]). For example your mail adress is [e-mail] and your
username for pop3 and smtp access is 1718500. After finishing, go to 

Edit->MailNewsgroup Account Settings ->Outgoing Server

and look what username is written there.

Tested on Windows and Linux

Could it be that the function in Row 778 in AccountWizard.js

function getUsernameFromEmail(email)
{
        var emailData = email.split("@");
    return emailData[0];
}

is part of responisble for that ?
