282560 - mozilla hangs when downloading mail from pop3

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[tom seeger]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

Frequently when downloading mail from the pop3 account the whole mozilla suite
freezes. Killing the task is the only way to reuse mozilla. It seems to be a
problem with specific mails because if I download the mails with Netscape 7.2 or
delete some mails via Webaccess I can download the rest in Mozilla.
Unfortunately I was not yet able to isolate the problem mail. Taskmanager shows
0% CPU activity ans memory size does not change. This comportement is stable and
doesn't change even if I leave the 'download' the whole night.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Kill Mozilla Task
2.Restart Mozilla
3.Get Mail
Actual Results:  
If the mails to get are unaltered th hangs after the same numbers of mails
downloaded (probably at the same mail).

Expected Results:  
Download all mails and continue to function normally

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.
