274240 - login issue -- improperly handling "@" and servername

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[john]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

This is occurring in IMAP but may be occurring in non-IMAP as well...

Example setup:

Servername:   mail1.mysite.com
Login Name:   myname@mysite    (NO .com -- just exactly as shown)

I can login correctly, but if I go to send an email it fails when it tries to
move the sent message to the "Sent" folder -- it says that the folder name is
incorrect -- after some testing I was able to see this in an error message:

[e-mail]

Apparently it is converting the @ in the name to a %40 which is failing on move
to a new folder.  I am not sure if it is happening at other parts of the system
but it reproduces here every time.

Second issue is when entering the pw, you show the login name as
"myname@[e-mail]" which is basically not correct -- it still logs
in properly, most likely a poor display choice.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an IMAP setup that has a login ID: myname@mysite
2. send a message and have the settings set to put the msg into the Sent folder
3. notice the error msg converts @ to %40 -- am assuming that is the problem.

Actual Results:  
fails when trying to move msg to sent folder (the email does go out through SMTP
however)

Expected Results:  
should have properly logged in and move msg to sent folder
