Thanks for using the product.  Can you include a bit more information in this
bug report?  For example:
1) date of the build you are using
2) are you running the POP or IMAP mail protocol
3) did you create a new profile and setup a mail account through the Account
Wizard?

Pls take a look at http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html
which includes ideas on what other pertinent information to include in the bug
report so that we can help fix any bugs that you report by being able to
reproduce it here.  Thanks.

From the reporter via email:
I used Milestone 11 (just downloaded it; really great :))
I logged (or logged not) in via POP3. I created a new account with the
wizzard (Copyright for the second 'z' is by Terry Pratchett), and edited
it after this, to find a checkbox for leaving the message on the
POP-Server after downloading the messages and set the Reply-To-Adress.
By clicking on the Button to get the messages, nothing happened and in
the DOS-Box appeared only "Nothing was selected". I think, it's only a
bug in the GUI.

Scott, can you look into this?

You currently need to select the account for which you want to do GetMessages.

marking WORKSFORME.  You need to have an account selected.  I selected a pop
account and Get Message worked fine.

Using build 12/10 builds on mac win and linux.  No response from reporter  so I
will verify and this should be reopened if reporter still can't get mail when
account is selected.

account and after this, I had a prob in the sendmail.cf (I used stmp intead of
