Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 71670

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Amrutha.S.Shenoy]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.5 [en] (WinNT; I)
BuildID:    Mozilla/5.0 20001108 Netscape6/6.0 

When you select an POP Mail Account Inbox and click on GetMsg ,and in the 
password Dialog box when a  wrong password is entered,an error message is 
displayed saying error was occured while sending message to the mail server,when 
the error is acknowldge it does not allow us to re-enter a new password and does 
not allow us to download messages from the server,but in case of an IMAP mail 
account a entering a wrong password in the password dialog box gives a error and 
acknowledgement of the same allows the user to re-enter another password.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Bring up the Browser mail window.
2.Select an POP Mail Account.
3.Click on Get Msg on the tool bar,
4.Enter a Wrong Password.



Actual Results:  Gives an Errror saying "Error occured while sending password to 
the mail server.try again later or contact the mail administrator" and 
acknowledging the same does not give the the password dialog box again asking 
for re-entering another password.

Expected Results:  Should give a password dailog box saying "an error had 
occured .Re-enter a password again" and should be able to re-enter a passwordd 
till the correct password is entered.

works4me. Using build 2001-01-08-08 on win98, I don't see the above problem.
Three attempts of entering wrong password, password dlg appeared all three times
to allow me to re-enter the right password.
samrutha,
Are you still seeing this in the recent builds?

I have tried this with the buil id :2001010204 on windows NT and this occured 
again for the POP account I used.The first time I open the mail account,by going 
to the mail window and then click on the inbox and say Get Msg and in the 
Password dialog box i enter the wrong password,it gave me an alert and din't ask 
me for the right password once again.

I'm using the same build right now that the reporter originally used and I also
don't see a problem with cancelling a pop dialog. I get prompted for my password
again.

navin,
bug 71670 is the same bug as this but you have already marked it as fixed.  You 
should dup this bug as a dup of 71670 as it is fixed.  Even though this bug was 
opened first.
