23062 - "@domain.com" stripped from SMTP user name

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect, P1)

Description

[esther]

Using build 20000104 on win98,mac and linux and in the process of verifying bug
21457 it was found that characters following and including @ are stripped from
the entered SMTP user name.  According to Seth, we should leave those characters
displayed, but strip them when sending. Example if [e-mail] is entered or
migrated as the SMTP user name when you close then open Account setup you will
only see foobar as the username.

1. Launch Messenger
2. Select Account Setup from the Edit menu
3. Select the Outgoing SMPT server and change the user name so it has an
@xyz.com at the end of the users name.  OK the Account Setup dialog
4. Open Account Setup again and notice the @xyz.com has been stripped from the name.

I remember in 4.x we intentionally stripped "@netscape.com" from POP/IMAP server
user names. Eventually, this behavior was put on a pref -- something like
mail.allow_at_sign_in_user_name. I'm not sure we did that for SMTP user names,
but maybe we did...

Mass moving M16 to M17 - look for nsbeta2 before anything else.

Mozilla should not be stripping "@domain.com" from userids anywhere in any 
protocol.  Usernames are not for the client to interpret, they are for the server 
to interpret according to the server's policy.

Because of the 4.x behavior, you may want to strip "@domain.com" from userids 
during 4.x profile migration.  If a user enters "@domain.com" through the Mozilla 
interface, however, it should be sent over protocol.

Putting on [nsbeta2+][6/01] radar.  This work must be done by 06/01 or we may 
pull this for PR2.
