Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 89945

Description

[Daniel St-Gelais]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425

When setting up SMTP account using a name that does not contains dots (.) (i.e.:
sh9_Exchange_08), the wizard gives an error message saying "Please enter a valid
Host Name".

To circumvent the issue, I've used the IP Address (ie.: 10.22.123.14)

 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On the Menu, select :  Edit -> Mail & Newsgroup account settings
2. Select : Outgoing Server (SMTP)
3. Enter "s99_exchange_01" in the "Server Name" field and press enter.

The error message will be displayed.

Actual Results:  
The following error message pops up:

    "Please enter a valid Host Name"

Expected Results:  
For an adresse like that, simply ask the user to confirm that this is a valid
SMTP server name.

-> Account Manager

Does "sh9_Exchange_08." work ?
This would be invalid if that works (should work)

-> confirming as enhancement

it works with a dot at the end but mozilla should add this point internal

I suck, it's not the missing "." at the end, it's the invalid "_"
