245443 - pop3 mail server changes to "localhost" when I close the Mozilla application

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 213300

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[Gerardo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; es-ES; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; es-ES; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Sometimes, when I close my Mozilla application, the mail accounts settings
changes. If my hostname was "host1" and my username was "user1", then:
- the hostname changes to "localhost"
- the user name changes to "user1/host1

Obviously, if I see the file "prefs.js", it has changed, so that the
mail.server.server1.hostname is now "localhost" and the
mail.server.server1.username is now "user1/host1". Besides, some information
about folders (Drafts, Templates and Sent) has changed. For example,
"user1@host1/Drafts" has changed to "user1%2Fhost1@localhost/Drafts

Ah! Of course, I've tried creating a new account and reinstalling Mozilla.

I'm solving this problem with a script that changes the prefs.js file, but I'm a
bit tired of executing that script and I've decided to solve my problem if it's
possible. Besides, maybe there are people in the world that don't know how to
make scripts. Is there anybody who can help me?

Thanks, Gerardo
