(Whiteboard: [nsbeta3+] Fix in hand)

steps: 1. Create new profile. Launch mail. 2. In account wizard select Newsgroup account. Enter your identity. In the next step it asks for pop/imap account and server info. It should ask for newsgroup server name. Build and platform: Today's commercial build, today's mozilla debug build from 10 AM. Win NT.
Changing QA Contact. Nominating for nsbeta3. This will affect all the mail users.
Keywords: nsbeta3

adding myself to cc: also adding smoketest keyword and upping severity.
Severity: normal → major
Keywords: smoketest
Removing Smoketest from the keywords. I don't think this is a smoketest blocker bug. You can workaround this problem by typing the news zilla.org/netscape.test And Alecf has a fix and waiting for a review. No need to hold the tree for this bug.
Keywords: smoketest
It is a smoketest failure. The keyword smoketest helps us gauge how often we're failing smoketests. We would only hold the tree for it if it was a smoketest blocker (keyword smoketest, severity blocker) Thanks for the workaround! I did not know that it was that easy (I went the long route of getting an old build and creating an account and then getting a newer build)
