there's a preference for this, you should be able to find it if you search the
web or bugzilla.

what we should do instead of what we do is try both. if one works fine, if the
other works, fine.

the mail setup but not in the news side  THIS HAS TO BE A MOZILLA BUG mail side

That pref only applied to POP3 and has been removed (the @ sign now gets
stripped on migration if the pref had not been set). The situation for IMAP was
that special characters failed in usernames because of escaping errors. That has
also been fixed. However I don't what the situation is for news servers.

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
