Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
For years I have been reporting this same bug and I see, with this fresh
install of Thunderbird on my Ubuntu machine, that it is STILL NOT
CORRECTED. Regrettably I don't have the prior thread for this complaint
so I'll have to start "fresh".
I have 5 e-mail accounts that are POP accessible. 1 at yahoo, 1 at sstar.com, 1
at comcast.net and 2 at sursum-corda.com.
Those on the sursum-corda.com server (which I operate) are inaccesible via
Thunderbird. Any attempt to connect and Thunderbird sends "CAPA" and posts
this pop-up message: "Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server 10.0.0.3
responded: CAPA". Precisely what it has always done.
Here is the log snippet from the POP server:
===========cut============
* 08:17:07 (9) Incoming connection from 10.0.0.20 on 04/26/09.
] 08:17:07 (9) +OK Internet Rex POP3 server ready <3250.1240755...@mailserv>
= 08:17:07 (9) AUTH <<<<<<<< "=" is
an incoming command from the client
] 08:17:07 (9) -ERR Unrecognised command. <<<<<<<< "]" is a reply from
the server to the client
= 08:17:07 (9) CAPA
] 08:17:07 (9) CAPA

] 08:17:16 (9) +OK Need password.
! 08:18:17 (9) Connection closed: timeout receiving command. <<<<<<60
seconds of waiting for Thunderbird
===========cut============
At one time, one of the coders of Thunderbird said that he thought he had
removed or altered the log-in algorithms
to correct for this anomaly; but apparently he had not, and the problem
continues to this date. Note that I am able to access that pop account from
ANY other e-mail client, including: The Bat!, Outlook Express, Outlook,
mail2web.com, PMMail/2, PMMail Pro, etc.
It should be noted that SENDING mail from Thunderbird via the SMTP server at
sursum-corda.com IS successful:

Can someone please take up this coding issue and get it finally
corrected?
