195815 - wrong Return-Path + smtp-server not assignable

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Sven]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-AT; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-AT; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

The following situation:
My girl-friend and I we both have individual accounts at gmx. Therefore I tried
to set up two separate accounts in Mozilla-Mail for both of us on my PC.
=> It's not possible to choose the right SMTP-server via dialog
=> Mozilla sometimes chooses the wrong Return-Path!!!

Example:

Account 1:
POP3	pop.gmx.net
User-ID	1000
email	[e-mail]
SMTP	mail.gmx.net

Account 2:
POP3	pop.gmx.net
User-ID	2000
email	[e-mail]
SMTP	mail.gmx.net


=> Errors:
(1)
You can't choose the right SMTP / User-ID in dialogue. Pressing the advanced
button you get two times the choice "mail.gmx.net" but you don't know which one
to choose for which user.

To make a proper assignment you have to manually edit prefs.js (e.g. identify
("mail.smtpserver.smtp1")/("mail.smtpserver.smtp1") do assignment
("mail.identity.id1.smtpServer", "smtp1") / ("mail.identity.id2.smtpServer",
"smtp2")


(2)
Write one mail under account 1 (+ send later), write another mail under account
2 (+ send later); then choose command "send unsent messages"
=> both mails will get the _same_ Return-Path!!!

Do the same but send the messages immediately and each one will get its own
correct Return-Path!!!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
see details
Actual Results:  
see details

Expected Results:  
show not only SMTP-Server name but server-name + user-id so than we can choose
the right combination via dialog

send the correct return-path in both cases
