273890 - News articles not appearing with slow servers

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Nick Battle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

This is the equivalent of bug 231937 on Mozilla. With a slow NNTP server (which
is slow to accept posts), if a newsgroup is read (Get Messages) while the
Compose window is busy in the process of posting a new message, then the newly
posted message does not appear, and cannot be made to appear without
unsubscribing and re-subscribing to the group.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
See steps in Mozilla bug 231937.
Actual Results:  
Post completes, and is visible to other users (ie. is on the server correctly),
but cannot be retrieved to the posting client.

Expected Results:  
The new article should be visible - if not immediately, then after a further
"Get Messages".

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.
