29295 - No timeout or error when acct setup has incorrect server.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26773

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

[laurel]

Using feb25 builds

If a profile/account is setup with an incorrect server name when you go to login
to the server, there never appears any timeout or other error indicating
something went wrong.  

1.  Create a new profile or add a new account to an existing profile.  (Can be
either POP or IMAP)
    When filling in the incoming server information, type the server
incorrectly.
2.  Go to mail window, select the account inbox and do a Get Msg.
3.  Now wait awhile.

Actual Result:  
POP account progress bar stops.  No login or error dialog ever appears
indicating application could not contact server.
IMAP account progress bar stays engaged forever, Stop doesn' stop it.  No login
or error dialog ever appears indicating application could not contact server.

Expected:  At least some kind of timeout error dialog.

when I check in my fix for 26773.
