(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[Menno]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

On some recently received SPAM I get the message "Unable to write to mailbox.
Make sure the file system allows you write priviledges, and you have enough disk
space to copy the mailbox."

This specific SPAM mail is included in a link. Just upload it to your server and
get your mail with Mozilla. Mozilla gets the email, shows it and then produces
the above error. After this problem the email remains on the server and
MozillaMail becomes useless for that pop account, since it cannot check any
further mail. Hitting the "get new messages" button then only results in
receiving another copy of this SPAM mail, and seeing the error again.

Outlook Express has no problem handling this email, so please do not say that
this is a server-side problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Upload the file to your pop server
2.Check the mailbox
3.see the error message

Actual Results:  
Mozilla is unable to check any further mail on that POP account, and renders
itself useless.

Expected Results:  
Simply ignore, whatever is wrong with this SPAM mail, and either throw the SPAM
mail away or just write it properely to my harddisk.

This bug has been reported on Windows 95 before, but it is also relevant on
WindowsXP and Windows 98. This problem is increasing, because of the worldwide
Spam problem, so please do not close this bug. I am nagged by it almost every day.
