Build 1999071911M9: Win32/NT4, Linux/Redhat 5.2 Overview Description: A Crash occurs when the user_pref("mail.server.server1.userName", "qatest20");` statement has a typo. For instance change "userName" to "user2ame or "username". Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open your prefs50.js file 2. Go to the `user_pref("mail.server.server1.userName` statement and change "userName" to "username". 3. Save the changes. 4. Launch Messenger and you will notice that instead of seeing the username it replaces the name with "null" (i.e. (null)@acme ) 5. Double click onto the account called "null". Actual Results: The program crashes. Expected Results: I would have expected a message telling me how to correct my "null" problem. At the very least I would have expected no crash. Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: - Mac 8.5.1 shows "null@acme" and when I double click on the server it shows an Inbox. I double click the Inbox and nothing happens, no crash. I was able to select other accounts and look at the contents of the folders without a problem. - Tried builds from a week ago (i.e. 7/12/99) and the crash still occurs on Win32/NT4.

Changed Summary to state "[PP]" since it doesn't crash using the Mac.

reassigning to alecf. It looks like we might have problems when we don't have a username. Current workaround is to not make a typo :)

yeah, scott is right. updating summary.

I'll try to fix this for M9, but it might slip to M10

ok, I've got a fix for this for IMAP. I'm going to check pop now

pop seems to work fine.

fix is in!

Setting QA Contact to nbaca, adding lchiang to Cc: list. Will check this on Saturday 8/21/99 or Monday 8/22/99.

Build 1999082016M9: Win32/NT4, Mac 8.5.1 Build 1999081608M9: Linux/Redhat 6.0 (since the 8/20 build isn't available) Reopening. - IMAP accounts no longer crash - POP accounts no longer crash when double clicking onto the account. It does crash if I select the account and select the "Get Message" button.

Sounds like this needs to be fixed for PR1, so I added a note to the Status Whiteboard

nbaca will provide a release note for M9. Moving to M10.

Bulk move mail/news M10 bugs to M11

get some help from seth.

get some help from seth.

(target milestone is M11 or M12 - add to mail beta tracking bug)

this won't crash anymore because if your userName pref is horked, nothing will show up in the folder pane. try it again, and you'll see what I mean. in a debug build, you get these assertions: Assertion: "nsLocalURI2Server() failed" (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)) at file nsLocalMailFolder.cpp, line 1856 Break: at file nsLocalMailFolder.cpp, line 1856 Assertion: "error, don't know about this server type yet.

Verified. Nothing shows up in the folder pane and it's not crashing.
