looks like all platforms.

Comment 2

[Suresh]

I found where the bug is. Looks like jefft is the culprit :)
He changed 'pop3' to 'pop' in local/ build/ nsMsgLocalCID.h (1.24) yesterday  
for fixing bug 17100. Not sure why though!! Adding him to the cc list :)

Comment 3

[lchiang]

marking nsbeta2.  We really need this fixed for testing purposes :-)

Comment 4

[Alec Flett]

reassign to jefft, upgrade to blocker.
Jeff, why did you change this string? it MUST be pop3 because it has to match
the incoming server type!

Comment 5

[Alec Flett]

looking over the code it looks like you have changed the URL schema to be pop:
instead of pop3:? I don't quite understand why this was done, because there is
other code which uses pop3:....

Not to mention you can't change anything that matches the incoming server type,
that just messes everything up. Specifically, you need to fix the one that
follows NS_MSGPROTOCOLINFO_PROGID_PREFIX

Comment 6

[jefft]

I missed testing creating pop3 account. Shame on me.

The reason to change "pop3" to "pop" is that a standard url seems not allowing 
number. Parsing url spec failed in necko. I thought I have worked around not 
changing server type but only for the protocol type. I'll look into the problem.

Comment 7

[jefft]

M16....

Comment 8

[jefft]

suresh, can you retest again? I have no problem creating new Pop3 account on my 
Linux debug build. I'll test the Windows build next.

Comment 9

[Alec Flett]

Jeff, start with a fresh profile - the NS_MSGPROTOCOLINFO_PROGID_PREFIX stuff 
only kicks in if you've never created an account with the given server type. So 
if you've created a POP account with that profile before, then I don't beleive 
that it needs to access the protocolinfo for that server.

Comment 10

[jefft]

Hmmm... creating new profile works for me too. What other steps did I miss?

Comment 11

[jefft]

Here is the console output from my linux release build. I don't see any problem.  
I am closing this bug as workforme. Reopen it if problem still exist.

[Suresh]

jefft, I just reproduced this bug on today's linux commercial build. 
(2000-04-26-08-M16). Tried to create a pop account on a new profile. The only 
difference I could see is that I didn't check remember Password. Can you try 
again with rememberPassword=false? Thanks. 

Comment 13

[jefft]

It doesn't make sense. Without saving password works for me too.

Build 2000-04-26-08M16: Linux 6.0
I reproduced the problem with a new profile and I'm not doing anything special. 
Basically taking the defaults when creating the account. 

Comment 16

[jefft]

Hmmm... What did I do wrong on reproducing the problem?

Comment 17

[Alec Flett]

I'm going to fix the pop3 entry in nsMsgLocalCID.h now.

Jeff, make sure it's a fresh profile, not a migrated profile.

Comment 18

[Alec Flett]

reassigning, and marking fixed

Comment 19

[Alec Flett]

fix has been checked in - I #defined this string as NS_POP3INCOMINGSERVER_TYPE

Comment 20

[jefft]

Hey, Alec. Thanks for checking in the fix. I and having problem reproducing the 
problem under the debugger. Appreciated.
