Description

[Matthias]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317)

Reproduceably, after being open for long time (maybe 12 hours), I cannot connect
to the one news server I have configured. When I click on "Get Mail" (sic)while
having the news group selected, the status bar stays in "looking up
news.spline.de" and the "Dailing Disk" top right keeps on rotating. I have to
quit / reopen Thunderbird to see new postings.

I cannot send email anymore, either, I can see new (IMAP) emails. I have not
postively confirmed that the two errors always occur together. 

Same in 1.0 and 1.0.2.

Configuration: Thunderbird 1.0.2 (from binary installer) on SuSE Linux 9.2,
kernel 2.6.8 SuSE modified). One Email Account (IMAP on localhost) and one Email
Account (Pop on distant host). 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Thunderbird
2.Sleep one night
3.Check news

Actual Results:  
see Details

Expected Results:  
keep working

Looks like duplicate of bug Bug 173924, which is a giant collection of similar bugs.
