If you log into a pop account first with an incorrect password, it tells you
that the password was incorrect, but then when you DO enter the correct
password, the mail never downloads and the progress just keeps spinning
If you hit stop and then get messages again, the mail downloads correctly.
This is a regression, and it's been this way for a few days (first time I
remembered to file a bug report)
We seem have status updating problem in general, all platform. From time to
time, when I logon to Imap server by selecting a mailbox folder, it spins until
I select another folder or do something else.

my believe is that the progress problem you described with imap might have to do
with the timer mechanism we started using a few weeks ago to start and stop the
meteors.

but this is a different problem. The messages do NOT download from the server
after entering an incorrect password.

yes, definitely a different problem - I should have made that clear. I didn't
want Jeff to think the imap problem was definitely related.

this is a severe usability problem - it's breaking me trying to use my ISP...
whenever I mis-enter my password, I have to totally restart mozilla in order to
use it again!
Severity: normal → critical
This is working fine with my 4-27-00 debug linux build. Hmmm...

hrm...this was on my 4-27-00 linux build in fact. I wonder if it has to do with
the server you're attaching to (I was using pop3.ispchannel.com)
I was using qa test accounts. I don't have outsize ISP accounts.

what I mean is this may be an interop bug. I just checked, and it says it's an
"InterMail POP3" server
do we have one of those internall?
I'm concerned that this is affecting lots of pop users, even if you're not able
to reproduce it on one of our servers.

alec - we don't have one of these POP3 servers internally. Should we get an
account from them?
Comment 11•25 years ago
|
||
alecf, have you tried getting a protocol log for pop on this server? Maybe we
can see which command it is unhappy about.

Yup, a pop3 log will help.
setenv NSPR_LOG_MODULES POP3:5
setenv NSPR_FILE ~/tmp/pop50.txt

Putting on [nsbeta2+][6/01] radar. This work must be done by 06/01 or we may
pull this for PR2.
