211075 - SMTP client in Mozilla "locks up" and will not send email

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Joe Mehaffey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

Twice I have had the situation where SENDmail timed out (on separate emails) and
would not deliver the mail.  I had to completely exit out of Mozilla and restart
and then SENDmail worked OK.  Both times I had multiple mail windows open (as I
often do and wish I could prevent any but one from opening at a time) but I do
not know if this had anything to do with it.  When this happened,  I put the
mail in SEND LATER and it would not send from there either.  Both times,   I was
able to BROWSE and GETMAIL when I could not SEND mail.  Exiting Mozilla and
reloading fixed it.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1.

3.



Expected Results:  
SMTP client should not lock up.

[HUI, Arion (Mr)]

In the "Advanced Outgoing Sever (SMTP) Settings" dialogue box, NO matter which
SMTP server is set default, always the first/top SMTP server in the list is
used. Fail as a different ISP is used.

This is also happening to me - same symptoms and restart cure. Did not happen on
1.7 RC2.
