This happens whether you select POP or IMAP. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Begin to add new email account 2.Enter identity information, press Next 3.Paste Incoming Server info from another copied source, press Next 4. Receive error message Expected Results: Should be able to accept pasted values I also placed some trailing spaces after the pasted value to see if that would work, but I still received the error message.

Though you wrote that there are no trailing spaces, I'm almost sure this is the cause. Could you please re-check that are no spaces at the beginning in the textbox? Does it work when you type in the hostname instead of pasting it? The function that checks for a valid hostname is very simple but doesn't like any spaces in the input.
I rechecked, and yes, when I copy and paste, it seems that one space is always carried forward. I deleted the space and it was added successfully. Is it possible to trim the whitespace so that this does not happen? It would ensure that this does not happen. I frequently cut/paste when entering into forms data that I already have elsewhere on my computer. Thanks.
Thanks for testing. bug 99133 is about the trailing/leading spaces.
