I recently downloaded Mozilla 0.9.2 for Windows98SE and I love it, however
I have found a few problems.

If my e-mail address is:                                [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and I set my "OUTGOING SERVER (SMTP)" to                mail.isp.net
where isp.net has a big SMTP server that only accepts mail from
their customers who authenticate with a username and password

Thier SMTP server checks against their LDAP server for users in the
joe.org domain, or it will search in the given dowmain for the user
name password to authenticate against.

If I enter "USER NAME"                                  Joe
then Mozilla tries to authenticate as                   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is a problem!

If I enter "User Name" as                               [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then Mozilla tries to authenticate as                   [EMAIL PROTECTED]@mail.isp.net

This is an even worse problem!


Also Netscape 4.[6-7]x  supported TLS for SMTP submission. Mozilla seems to
only have an option for SSL, not TLS?

My Mail server is an IMAP server and I have it configured to save sent messages
in my mail account's "SENT" folder

If I tell Mozilla to use "mail.isp.net:465" and to use SSL with the user-name
password stuff listed above and then send an e-mail in Mozilla, A status window
pops up saying "SENDING MESSAGE" which shows for a few seconds then goes away,
the compose window goes away and the message appears in my "SENT" folder,

However the Message was never sent.

If I do the exact same thing, but without port 465 and set to Never use SSL
it just tries to send the message and keeps poping up the password prompt
saying invalid login attempt reported....

Also, If I configure an LDAP server and then try to compose a message and
start typing in a TO address quickly and get 6 or 7 characters into the
TO address then the drop down list of matching LDAP directory entries shows
up so that I know the LDAP stuff works...

However if I am typing slowly and just enter a single character like "A"
and then pause Mozilla locks up hard and I have to kill it using the
windows task manager.
