1847531 - Mailserver configuration detection broken. Error "no configuration found".

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Amanita]

Steps to reproduce:

Since 115 creating a new account and autodetecting configs IS BROKEN

I have no idea why, but it doesnt detect the settings anymore and also manual setup doesnt work in my case.

Actual results:

I enter my mail address and password and it tries to get the configs. It stops immediately and says "no configuration found"

Expected results:

The detection should work normally. At least manually it should be possible to create one

Unfortunately this is not actionable because you have not supplied information

• about the account which is failing, eg who is your (mail server) provider
• the manual settings you attempted to use (assuming you went to manual config after getting "no configuration found")

Another question - does/did this work in a non-flathub environment?

Is it the outlook account mentioned in bug 1847353 ?

[Amanita]

this is not about an outlook account, its about all mailservers that normally work without any changes

I would not expect 115 autoconfig to be broken for all mailservers.

(In reply to Amanita from comment #3)

That's not the case on my end. Perhaps it's a problem specific to your environment as Wayne states.

Only this bug found in bugzilla https://mzl.la/3uhj6cG.
And nothing at all found with google.

If you still see this issue, will need more information about these serveres.
