Can't send email securely. This is an offshoot of Bug 98399; I think seth (sspitzer chez netscape) is looking into it; should be assigned to him, IMO. Just creating it cuz technically it's a different bug, though closely related. (98399 causes a hang, this just doesn't work) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Set up SMTP over SSL to port 465, the standard port for secure SMTP. (Seth has login to a server for reproducing this.) Try to send an email. Actual Results: The message will never send, forcing the user to cancel. Expected Results: Successfully negotiate and send securely. It's important to encrypt the session when the ISP requires authentication using the same username and password as for the IMAP/POP login. Workaround appears to be to use port 25, if available from ISP.

Dammit! Just realized a crash deleted a long comment & update I had prepared but not committed!

I am the submitter! Why won't bugzilla let me set the Priority? I've seen *many* people tripped up by this; P2 IMO. Sample SMTP server: www.fastmail.fm (sspitzer has a login here I provided him.)
