247146 - Mozilla v1.5 accesses my POP mailbox fine but all subsequent versions don't.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 236729

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[Brad Benson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608

Mozilla mail v1.5 works fine when getting my POP mail from a remote server.
When I try it with later versions (like 1.7rc3) I get the following error.

Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server mail.loop360.com responded: 
POP service disabled.

When I look at my profile it has all the same settings.

Server Name: mail.loop360.com
Port:        110
User Name:   user_changed%loop360.com

I can restart v1.5 and everything works fine.  This could be an 
incompatibility problem rather than a bug, but I can't find it
discussed anywhere so I'm reporting it here.  Thanks.

Reporter: Can you create a POP log for this with Mozilla 1.5 and then for
Mozilla 1.7 (or whatever version you are using now)? See
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html#pop how to do
this. Then attach the log here, but first see if any security-sensetive data is
in the pop log before attaching it.

I attached the POP3 logs for v1.5 and v1.7rc3.  For each, I hit the Get 
Messages button three times.  v1.5 failed the first time for some
reason but worked fine on the second and third tries.  v1.7rc3 never works.

It seems your mailserver has some kind of problem with that if Mozilla sends any
command (here: CAPA) that the pop server doesn't understand, the server responds
to any further command with the "POP service disabled." error.

Not really. It sends two -ERR responses for AUTH and CAPA, see bug 234421,
comment #1. Duping this, the server in the other bug uses the same POP software.
