Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 123440

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Jon Roland]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

When set each account to check for and automatically retrieve messages from
multiple accounts on various ISPs, leaving comptuter on and online while out of
the office for several days, the inability to contact one mail server launches
an error message window that interrupts further retrieval until the window is
closed, which cannot be done until the user returns.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up multiple accounts to automatically retrieve messages.
2. Leave for a few days, but one of the ISP does some maintenance, making its
mail server unavailable for a period of time.
3. Return to find an error message window, no retrievals after that window
opened, waiting for user input.

Actual Results:  
Retrieval stalled awaiting user input.

Expected Results:  
Continued to retrieve messages from other accounts, tried again with the ISP
whose mail server was unavailable.
