Hi,

1. I can send and receive mail, but copies of sent mail don't go 
into  the sent folder. 

2. I can't adjust font size in the message reading window.
bbriley: 
1.  Are you getting an error upon sending mail?
2.  What is your mail server - IMAP or POP?
3.  What is your preference setting for copies to sent folder? Preference is 
located here:
        Edit|Account Setup|<select your mail server>|Copies and Folders 
       
QA Contact: lchiang → esther
Please file one problem per bug report. I will open a new bug for the font 
issue.
Font size issue is now part of bug 26056.

bbriley did answer my questions via email.  I'd passed the info onto esther (QA
contact), but here is the response(s):

bbriley: 
Q:  Are you getting an error upon sending mail?
A:  No.

Q:  What is your mail server - IMAP or POP?
A:  POP

Q:  What is your preference setting for copies to sent folder?
Preference is located here: Edit|Account Setup|<select your mail server>|Copies
and Folders
A:  No, I didn't know it was there.  I was looking in edit-preferences, like
I would have with Communicator.  Now I have found it.
    However, I am unable to try it (now that I have found where to specify
"sent" messages get copied to.  Somehow, an incoming message was erroneously
placed into the sent folder!  Every time I click on it to delete it, Mozilla
crashes.
---------
I also asked a few questions pointed to whether the user had "local folders", to
find out when this profile might've been created or migrated.  Here's the brief
info:

Q:  Do you have a hierarchy of folders called "Local Mail" or "Local Folders" in
addition to the POP mail account set of folders? 
A:  Yes.

Q:  Did you migrate your mail profile from Netscape Communicator, or did you
create a new profile and account starting fresh in mozilla?
A:  New profile (user tried migration, but it failed).

Q:  When did you start using mozilla, in previous versions or just M13?
A:  6 months ago, I briefly tried an earlier milestone, and I tried M 12
once.  Too unstable.


Hard to tell at this point what all happened since user tried previous
milestones and may not have cleaned up before new profiling in m13.  Since we've
changed a lot in the areas of local folders creation and the Sent (Copies and
Folders) stuff.

User is doing ok now; has reset Sent copy preference and it's working last I
heard.



if it's ok for the user now, I am marking this bug as works for me.
