290306 - Hotmail - attachments won't open; contact list de-structured; Mozilla mail consigned to Junk.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Migration, defect)

Description

[denis_thurley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2

1. When accessing Hotmail via Firefox, attachments will not open - clicking
Download directs the user to sign-in again to Passport for Hotmail. Same
attachment will open perfectly well with IE6.

2. Contacts address book in Hotmail displays as one long unstructured string
when using Firefox. Still displays as structured list when using IE6.

3. Individually addressed e-mail from Mozilla (e.g. Password for Bugzilla)
consigned to Junk Mail in Hotmail.

Are these Migration related issues that Mozilla can address? Or are they
examples of how Microsoft are attempting to deal with a competitor? 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt to open an Attachment.
2.Look at the Contacts List when creating a New e-mail.
3.Send an e-mail from Mozilla to a Hotmail account.

Actual Results:  
See 'Details' above.

Expected Results:  
See 'Details' above.

Just received confirmation of this Bug report to my Hotmail Inbox, so problem 3
I logged is not consistent and probably not worth following up. Denis Thurley.

Denis, can you try a latest nightly (beta) build and report back as to whether
your problems are still present with said version? Thanks!

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.
