288178 - Won't sign in to server

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Graber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317)

Trying to connect and won't sign in to server.  Tried using outlook (may it be
banished from the earth) to see if there was an error message and got the
message "Error Message is !Task 'ISP' - Sending and receiving reported error
(0X800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interupted. If this problem
continues, contact your server administrator or the ISP.

So.....after working at it a bunch and finding that I could get in if I created
a new profile on another computer......
Opened thunderbird through profile manager instead of directly going into
thunderbird and the problem resolved itself.  Both thunderbird and outlook (the
bane of mankind) will both now connect, authenticate and download mail.  Note
that sending mail was never effected

Reproducible: Always

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.
