281810 - Forwarding mail copy to another user causes error

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Thommie Rother]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird Version 1.0 (20041206) de_DE

Forwarding mail is buggy. This happens either while forwarding with the same
mail-identity (With "To: [mailadress]" header) or with a manual switch to a
newsserver account on the same profile (With "Newsgroup: [newsgroup name]" header)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send message through smtp, a mail copy is stored in imap folder
2. mark mail copy in "Sent" folder and use the right-mouse click menu to
"forward" the message
3. enter a new mail adress in the mail edit window
4. send message
Actual Results:  
error message, see attachment. 
translation: "sending message failed. Enter password for [subject line] on (null)"

Expected Results:  
Sending message.

I did report these forwarding problems numerous times before. The account
manager ist definitely buggy here, see 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239982
and
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278198 for more details. 

Unfortunately, nothing has happened here, for many many months!! That's NOT good
for Thunderbird's reputation ;-( !

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.
