94665 - Sometimes mail doesn't recognize that an "To" email address has been supplied.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Oliver Jones]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010808
BuildID:    2001080814

Sometimes when composing a message you enter an email address in the To field
yet Mail doesn't seem to recognize it as valid.  It displays a error message
when you try to send the message.  You have to close the msg window and recreate
the message again.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new message.
2. Enter address.
3. Watch it fail (sometimes).

Actual Results:  See attached screenshot.

Expected Results:  The address was valid.  It should have worked.

I have not been able to reproduce this problem on linux 2001-08-13-06 and few 
recent builds.  Please reopen only with reproduceable steps so that this can get 
fixed.  For now marking worksforme.

The problem is that it is intermitant.  And I have no idea why it is happening
or how to even reliably reproduce the bug.  But it does exist.

I have the same problem.  It happens for me on 0.9.4 and 0.9.5.  For me it
happens consistently for the first message I try to send after opening MailNews.
 After that, it works fine.

reopening since the reporter comments suggest that he is still seeing this problem
Reporter,
Do you have any ldap settings used for this profile?  Can you also try this on a
recent build to see if it is still happening. Because in your recent comments
you did not mention the build id.

Forgot to reopen the bug!

No LDAP settings. Build ID:2001101201. I'll see what I can do about trying it on
a recent build.

I'm not the only one who gets this.  Yeah!  I too noticed that the problem is
only apparent when you create your first email message after starting Moz.

basically nothing related to the "To" field works.  No autocomplete, no drop
down, nothing.

This is a dup of an old exisiting bug.  I will reopen the other bug which is 
76546

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 76546 ***

Reopening this bug because even thought this is very similar to the other bug
this was duped. But this could be due to a recent regression.

commercial build: 2001-12-14-06 linux RH 6.2
I have not encountered this problem for a while on the latest builds. Marking 
worksforme. Please reopen if this happens on the newer build.
