2001030911 trunk for Mac. Mail/News POP account is the default. Type a wrong password when prompted for input. Result:Mozilla displays that you have to contact the server administrator or try again later. Expected result:The other dialog that describes the error and then a new password dialog should appear.

Good catch! I suggest a different password input dialog with the text "The entered password was not correct. Try again?" and then a textfield and a "OK" and "Cancel" button. Something like that..

It used to work that way, and therefore this is a regression.

This works for me using windows debug build from yesterday. I am able to reproduce on Mac. Adding pp keyword.

Ignore my last comment, I did not understand the problem. Removing pp keyword. Patch coming up....

Changing summary to describe the problem correctly...

cc bienvenu and sspitzer for review

you need to add a newline to the end of the properties file. Could you describe this a little? Is it really a regression in 6.x, or a regression from 4.x?

Removing regression keyword. This is not a regression. It used to behave like this, if user entered wrong password -->alert describing the error -->password dialog describing the error I changed it to, only -->password dialog describing the error Also I found out that PASSWORD_FAILURE was being used to show failure for STAT command, so I added STAT_FAILURE

makes sense, r=bienvenu

but please fix the .properties file to have a newline at the end before you checkin.

It seems to have morphed from the original problem. I like the way it is being fixed, but does it fix the original problem where the password dialog was not called at all in the following sequence in Mac build? -->alert describing the error -->password dialog describing the error

Try rebooting your mac and then use the same build 2001-03-09-11. You will see the password dialog, again. I am very sure because I am using the same build. david, I will take care of the linefeed in .properties file.

I do not get it. I have been suffering with this trouble even in 031608 build. By rebooting, I can get a password dialog, of course. However, if you type a wrong one again, there is no more password dialog.

>>>However, if you type a wrong one again, there is no more password dialog. I am getting it again. Make sure that you click ok on the alert. Sometimes the alert goes behind the app.

Now I can see why I am getting this and Navin is not. I have more than one POP accounts. Only the default account shows the problem I described. In 0309 build, there was nothing after the first alert "... you should contact ...". In 031608 build, I get "Unknown Error 804b0001" alert instead of Password dialog. In other POP accounts, I can get the second chance to type a password.

Now I realize there are a few problems that started around 0309 build involving the default POP account. Bug 71803 involves default POP only.

fix checked in.
