Description

[Brendan]

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

The option to receive mail stopped working.  The operation will time out or say
"unable to establish connection".  I am still able to compose and send mail.  I
know this is not a problem with my mail server, because everyone at work  uses
the same mail server with Mozilla and is not experiencing this problem.   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla = No report of new messages.
2.Click 'Get Mail' button
3.Click again

Actual Results:  
It attempts to establish a connection to my mail server "connecting to
mail.ideareplication.com".  Then it says "connecected to
mail.ideareplication.com", then it stops doing anything.

Expected Results:  
It should have either report my new messages or reported that there are no new
messages on my server.

Did you update TB and use a firewall?

I have not updated it since I installed it (around Feb. 2005).  I log in through
a server everyday at work.  The problem started late Wednesday.  I am out of
town on business right now, and everywhere I login I still have the same
problem.  I will go through and update it and see what comes of it.

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
