256146 - Warning "failed to connect to server XYZ" flashes up several times in independent windows

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 123440

(MailNews Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Falko Rütten]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040119
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040119

When not connected (I use a dia-up connection to the internet), I get "failed to
connect to server XYZ" warnings. That's ok, but I get several of them, each
appearing in an individual window. Takes me many clicks to get rid of them...

 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start Mail/News (not connected)
2.wait (a long time)
after 1h there should be 10+ warning messages on the screen, layered on top of
each other


Expected Results:  
It would be nice, if there would be only one warning-message, i.e. one window.

Thanks!
You're doing a great job
