(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Karl Grindley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

Attempting to connect to an ipv4 mail server, via ipv4 socks5 proxy (no
authentication).  When ipv6 module is loaded in WinXP, tunderbird is unable to
make a socks5 connection to the ipv4 proxy. (at least that is my belief,
tcpdumps show no network activity that i can find) Note, Imaps on port 993.  Not
sure if this changes results or not.

my client is v1.0 (20041206)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup a socks5 proxy with no authentication (antinat works well)
2. test connection WITHOUT winxp ipv6 module installed
3. load ipv6 module, and test connection again
4. unload ipv6 winxp module, reboot
5. everything works again
Actual Results:  
when attempting to open any message or check mail, status bar says it's
connecting, and hangs.  doesn't do anything as far as i can tell.

Expected Results:  
connect to mail server.
