(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Marc Mongenet]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040714
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040714

I created a new POP3 account then tried to get messages for account. It failed
without feedback while it should have displayed the password dialog. I had to
restart Mozilla and get messages again to get the password dialog, then it
worked OK.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create addtional POP3 account (I have already 2 POP3 account and 3 NNTP
accounts);
2. Try to get messages for this account.


Actual Results:  
It silently fails.

Expected Results:  
Dialog to ask POP3 password.

wfm with a current cvs trunk build
Reporter: Maybe you can enable a pop log (see
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html#pop for a
how-to), then create another account and see if you can reproduce it. If yes,
attach the pop log here (if there is any in it with that account of course :).

In fact, it does nothing. No connection at all.
Note that this not my default POP account.
Note 2: It is an account that I created and destroyed several time. Now I have
nsmail/pop.tele2.ch, nsmail/pop.tele2-1.ch, nsmail/pop.tele2-2.ch,
nsmail/pop.tele2-3.ch.

This sounds like a dupe of bug 252843, which has been fixed.

Marc Mongenet, have you tried a current build (later than Jul 24)?

Comment 5

[Marc Mongenet]

It works well with Mozilla 1.8a3 (Gecko/20040817).

OK, duping.
