360985 - server address preferences do not ignore spaces

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 604393

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[mozilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/418.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3
Build Identifier: current

If, for the pop server address, you accidently add a space, for example "pop.fine.com " then the space is not ignored (as Eudora does) and the user cannot connect to the server.  The can't connect to server error shows the space, but for non-expert users, such a detail is easily overlooked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.add a space to your pop address
2.check mail
3.

Actual Results:  
Got an error message saying the server cannot be reached.

Expected Results:  
Ignored the space and gone to the intended server.

Eudora 6.2 ignores spaces in server addresses.  This is a serious user interface issue for non-expert users.

Looks the same as suite bug 124170.
Reproduced in TB 3a1-1030, Win2K.
