Details

Hi, I use the same authentication (server,name,password) for IMAP and SMTP. When I open my mailbox, Mozilla asks me a password. When I send a message, Mozilla asks me the same password again. Like Communicator did, Mozilla should detect that I use the same server for incoming and outgoing messages and "remember" the first password I typed. Best regards Dominique VOLPE
dup of bug 18565?

Reporter: can you still confirm that this is the case? This is not a dupe of 18565, since that bug was marked as fixed before this bug was even filed. It may be a regression. It WFM, though I use the same SMPT server for two different IMAP accounts.
Hi, indeed, it is a dupe of #18565. When I set the following pref, the problem is fixed : user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.auth_method", 2); Thanks Dominique *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18565 ***
