This would be useful for users that setup an SSH tunel from local port for
example 55555 to remote mail server. And, hopefully, there is a place on the
form to make the field a little wider, so it would show up to 5 digits. (I
believe maximum port number is 65535?)

Reproducible: Always

The port fields for SMTP, POP and IMAP all are wide enough for five digits.
(I'm looking at Moz 1.8b2-0309, which has the rewritten SMTP server interface, 
and running under Win2K.)

Is there a field I've missed, or should this bug be   Resolved | WorksForMe  ?

I tried version 20050318 under Windows 98. Yes you can input 5 digits into all
fields. But none field shows them all. The field Port under redesined SMTP
interface shows app. 4, the field under Server settings (all POP / IMAP / News)
shows only 3. The only field wide enough is the SMTP Port field in TB 1.0.

Other problem is, that it s possible to input port number like 123456789 (or
even number like 123456790123456790, which overflows to be stored as
-350287872). Is that a real port number? (maybe on IPV6?)

On my system (Windows 2000, Large Fonts, Qute theme for TB and Orbit theme for 
Mozilla) the fields *are* all wide enough to show five digits, even more in the 
case of SMTP.

You opened this bug with "OS=All" -- are you actually seeing this problem on 
multiple platforms?  What theme(s) are you using?
