268265 - cannot log in to multiple mail accounts using full email login and single mail server

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Gary]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103)

I have a mail server responsible for several mail domains.
In order to login to email accounts within each mail domain, I am required to 
use the full email address as the user.  Login fails because I think 
Thunderbird appends the server name to the end of the user name
(automatically).  My mail server(Kerio 5.7.0) rejects this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter email address instead of user
2.connect to mail server
3.add password, then you can see that Thunderbird is trying to connect to 
[e-mail]@hostname...

I see the same problem, except that if I accept the Thunderbird 1.0 login info 
of: [e-mail]@hostname.maildomain.com the login works. If I try to 
change it to reflect a [e-mail] it doesn't work. Ergo 1.0 
may have resolved this.

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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
