793505 - Incomprehensible warning during offline mode on pop account

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Security, defect)

Description

[George Fiotakis]

Attachment: screen shot of the warning

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use POP account.
2. Configure account's server settings to fetch headers only.
3. Try to download the rest of a non-downloaded message and get the warning of the screenshot instead of a warning asking to go online.

Hum what kind of connection do you have with your server ? (eg SSL with certs/ without certs)

Comment 2

[George Fiotakis]

The server settings are:

Connection security: None
Authentication method: Password, transmitted insecurely.

In case it wasn't clear in the first place: These settings work fine when I'm online, this only happens when I'm in offline mode.

I can replicate in Thunderbird 16.01 and 16.02 linux 32bit and 64bit.
The message link is:
javascript:showSecuritySection();
Pop account is set to:
 SSL/TLS port 995, Normal Password

I can not replicate in SeaMonkey 2.13.2.
In SeaMonkey I get the Alert:
This document cannot be displayed while offline. To go online, uncheck Work Offline from the File menu.

NoOp, 

I can't reproduce this using current daily and account set to port 110. 
I did 
1. Use POP account.
2. Configure account's server settings to fetch headers only.
3. Get mail // Download headers
4. Go offline
5. Try to download the rest of a non-downloaded message 
I simply see ...
Not Downloaded
Only the headers for this message were downloaded from the mail server.
<Download the rest of the message.>

Am I missing steps?

This bug was reported on earlybird 17.
I can not reproduce it either on earlybird 20.0a2 anymore.
However I think that still there's something weird going on, since I guess there should be a pop up/warning asking to go online again.
This time I've only tried the localized build (el) but I don't think it's relevant.

I cannot replicate on TB 17:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20130801 Thunderbird/17.0.8

I am now getting the correct popup:
This document cannot be displayed while offline. To go online, uncheck Work Offline from the File menu.

Recommend that this bug be closed.
