User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/14.0.835.187 Safari/535.1

Steps to reproduce:

this is while creating an account in TB 8.0.  Choosing manual configuration.

Choose POP3, set server, port and automatic for SSL/TLS and auth.

Different behaviour on initial retest than subsequent ones.  Also it's using pipelined POP3 commands CAPA and QUIT which is a BAD idea, as many servers / proxies don't support pipelining of POP3 commands. 


Actual results:

initial retest:  Makes 3 connections, sends CAPA + QUIT in 1 buffer.
subsequent retest: makes 1 connection, sends CAPA + QUIT in several buffers, but prior to receiving any response from the server, so still effectively pipelined


Expected results:

make only 1 connection, wait for +OK welcome, send CAPA, wait for response, send QUIT.
