Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Networking, defect)

My e-mail service provier recently ask me to change my username from "username"
to "[e-mail]". After I changed the username as the service
provider required, the wacky behavior had begun. It now won't allow me deleting,
moving messages. It won't check new messages. It, basically, doesn't do nothing
at all. It looks like a dummy...
But it did check new messages for once! That was when I had chosen the only one
unreaded message that left in the messages list. After that one time, it has
been a total dummy.

B.T.W. ThunderBird(0.1 & 0.2) seems to have no problem at all with this issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Creating a e-mail account that has a "@" symble (or contains more than 25
words...I have no idea) in username.
2.Telling Mail & Newsgroup to do something(checking for mail, moving messages
around, etc...).
3.Seeing that Mail & Newsgroup won't do it...
Actual Results:  
NOTHING AT ALL... Not even things that are supposed to happen happen.

Expected Results:  
Check mail...

Please specifiy what type of account you're using: POP3 or IMAP. Or does this
occur with each type (would be nice if you could test with both if your service
provider supports both)?

What about sending messages (SMTP)? Did you change the username there too?

It only happens on the IMAP server that I'm using. I have no idea if the same
problem happens in pop3 or SMTP server.

Plus, Mozilla 1.4 seems to be okay with this issue, too.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
