Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27129

Description

[laurel]

Using 2000-02-09-08m14 commercial builds on all platforms.

When creating a new account there is no alert for and user cannot proceed to
next screen if they've entered a bad email address.

1.  Launch to mail window.
2.  Edit|Account Setup.
    Click New Account button, select radio button for mail account setup. Click
next. 
    Enter a name.
    In the email address field enter text without an @ sign.
    Click Next.

Result:  No alert dialog appears (there used to be one) and user cannot proceed
without correcting email address field. Once corrected, all is well.

Expected result:  An alert should point user to incorrect information field
which needs correcting.

turns out this is a general problem which I just filed a bug against travis for.

Verified Fixed. It now warns the user if the email address isn't in the correct 
form. For instance if the email address doesn't have an "@" sign then it states 
to "Enter a valid email address"
