55049 - mail won't reconnect to server

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 196095

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect, P3)

Description

[Warren Harris]

I had opened my mail window before connecting to Netscape's internal network
with SERA. It failed to find the mail server. Then I connected with SERA, but it
still couldn't find the server. I had to quit the app and restart before I could
read my mail.

In 4.x, mail reconnects to the server automatically.

May I know which build were you using? Trunk build or Branch build?

interesting - I think I've seen this too. But I also think I've seen it work as
well.

Is this still happening?

If it is please attach a IMAP log of your IMAP session.

Hi, reporter, can you reproduce this bug in recent build?

I am seeing this bug for quite some time now. It is fairly difficult to lay my
hands on what it really is. I can always create a connection just fine to my
local ISP mailbox. When VPN'ing into my company's email system, it's trouble. 
Other email programs work just fine.

There are some things that for me are always the same when it fails;

- The first time I want to connect. Once I somehow got connected it's fine.
- Its always after install of a new OS or mozilla profile.
- Always the same imap server giving me troubles (SIMS 4.0 on Solaris)
- I connect through a VPN gateway to that mailserver
- I manually can telnet just fine to the mailserver on port 143. So the
connecting is not refused at all.
