218730 - Port setting reverts to 993 for SSL if the user specifies SSL over port 143

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 134238

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Stuart Wallace]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 (20030901)

Thunderbird doesn't want to use SSL over port 143. If the user tries to specify 
that Thunderbird should connect to a mail server using SSL over port 143, 
Thunderbird changes the port setting to 993.

I think that this bug may be relevant:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60377

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Thunderbird needs to be configured with at least one IMAP mail account.

1. Go to Tools -> Account Settings -> [any account] -> Server Settings.
2. Tick 'Use secure connection (SSL)'.
3. Set 'Port:' to 143.
4. Click 'OK' to confirm changes and close the dialogue.
Actual Results:  
If the 'Account Settings' dialog is reopened, the port changed in "Steps to 
reproduce" has reverted to 993.


Expected Results:  
The port number should be 143, as specified by the user.

If a port *other* than 143 or 993 is specified by the user, and 'Use SSL' is 
ticked, this bug does not occur. For example, it is possible to specify SSL 
over port 123.
