366033 - Cannot send mail from hotmail account

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Paul]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: version 1.5.0.9 (20061207)

Note: Cannot use latest build because this bug concerns retrieving and sending mail from a hotmail account. Attempts to use webmail and hotmail extentions with latest (3.0...) Thunderbird release fail because this extensions are not compatible.

I am able to retrieve and read new mails using the webmail/hotmail extensions, but unable to send. When trying to send the send box "spins" (ie shows a cyclic progress bar) forever. The program has not crashed however.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Thunderbird
2.Install webmail extension
3. Quit
4. Install hotmail extention
5. Quit
6. Set up hotmail account using [e-mail] as email, incoming and outgoing id.
7. Enter password and retrieve mail
8. Click write
9. enter email address and test text.
10. Click send
Actual Results:  
Small box saying "Sending messages: Test" appears.
Progress bar beneath has a box that moves repeatedly from left to right (so its not a true progress bar as such, more an activity bar)
The infinite send problem is only attached to the composed message. Thunderbird has not crashed and other activities in thunderbird can be perfromed as normal.

Expected Results:  
Sent simple test message to email address

Installed and active programs:
K9 web filter
Avast anti virus
Windows firewall
Firefox

bugzilla isn't for problems with extensions, but rather for problems with core Thunderbird - I suggest contacting the extension developer(s) or mozillazine forums
