Sending mail to smtp.mail.yahoo.com fails. Actually it does nothing but create
the temporary files and sets the status to sending. That's it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create new message
2.Send message
3.

Actual Results:  No. email was sent.

Expected Results:  Should have sent my email.

This works find under Netscape 6. Looks like we broke something after that
milestone.

Reporter try downloading a nightly build and creating a new profile and seeing
if that fixes the problem.

After I recieved you comments. I took a peek at prefs.js, what a mess. I deleted
every thing referring to pop, imap, and smtp servers.  Restarted mozilla and
reconfigured my accounts.  That fixed the problem. So, the next question is how
did the prefs.js file get hosed?

Who knows it happens from time to time, especially since each nightly is fixing
new things. Marking WORKSFORME.
