213427 - feature request - retrieve before send

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 81387

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, enhancement)

Description

[John West]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

When I send an email my pop server it generally gives relaying denied, then I 
have to manually retrieve my email, then I send again.  Outlook Express didn't 
do this - it would be nice if somewhere I could configure it to always retrieve 
before send.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. do not retrieve POP mail
2. try to send pop mail
3. get error message "relaying denied" from pop server
4. retrieve pop mail
5. send successfully

Actual Results:  
as described above

Expected Results:  
retrieve mail first, then send.

This may be specific to the pop server I am using, but I think it is a common 
linux shared hosting pop server.  Should be easy to fix?  Maybe there is a 
config item for this somewhere and I just can't find it?
