Description of problem:In my freshly installed RC-version of Mageia 2 I can't get Thunderbird to add my account as it seems to fail finding server-settings for incoming/outgoing emails.

How reproducible: All the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mageia 2 RC-version.

5. Click Create account-button.
6. Voila! Thunderbird can't find the right settings to use.

Did you test with the tarball version of ESR 10.0.4? Does this one work or is it upstream problem?

If only I knew exactly what to write I would've tried that way, but I don't know.
Comment 7 Kristoffer Grundström 2012-05-18 23:10:12 CEST 
Btw. What do you mean with ESR?
Comment 8 claire robinson 2012-05-18 23:13:40 CEST 
I didn't follow the manual config but will confirm tomorrow

Comment 10 John Bowden 2012-05-19 18:48:12 CEST 
i can reproduce this but all you need to do is manually set up your account details and correct type of log in protocols and you can get your mail! Not rely a bug unless the manual set up is not available, which it is.

Comment 11 John Bowden 2012-05-19 19:13:12 CEST 
Rechecked this with a second account. both times i had to type in the pop and smtp bits of the server address and set ports and security manually.
Comment 12 Florian Hubold 2012-05-20 20:51:27 CEST 
Please, some more information. What type of account did you try to add, POP3 or IMAP?

Does it work correctly for a freshly created user (or with a new ~/.mozilla/ profile folder), or with upstream tarballs or newer thunderbird version?
Comment 13 Kristoffer Grundström 2012-05-22 12:48:44 CEST 
I tried in Windows 7 64-bit with Thunderbird 12.0.1 & still same problem.
Comment 14 Sander Lepik 2012-05-22 12:59:40 CEST 
Well, it's an upstream problem then.
Comment 15 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-26 13:05:31 CEST 
Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja
