Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314

Pressing "Get Msgs" in multipop account window with cursor on server that is
unknown at this time, leads to endless apearance of message "Connected to x.y.z"
and endless mozilla image animation. Mozilla mail does not react to "Stop" button.
If you close Mail window and reopen it you can not "Get Msgs" anymore from this
account until you completely finishes Mozilla (closing all windows).

Same problem here. Just upgraded from 1.2.1 and seems to be new in 1.3. Quite
irritating, since you have to shut down all Mozilla windows before you can
connect to your account again.

Can confirm with 1.6, Win98.
