<Contents transferred from bugsplat bug 336165. Assigning to phil for now because jefft and bienvenu don't have a bugzilla account.> I don't know if this is important or not, but it sounded interesting enough to record in bugsplat. Subject: Suggestion for Communicator ~ POP3 for OUTBOUND Mail via XTND XMIT Date: Sun, 29 Nov 1998 19:47:03 GMT From: jman@hal-pc.org (Carl Pearson) Organization: Houston Area League of PC Users Newsgroups: netscape.public.mozilla.general Howdy, All: Please excuse me if this is not the appropriate group. netscape.public.mozilla.wishlist does not appear on my server. I'd like to suggest that Netscape have the capability to send email with POP3, via the XTND XMIT command, instead of just using SMTP. Reasons are varied, the main one being able to connect to your home server without dialing in (say, if you were on vacation in another city, using a friend's account, etc.), yet till being able to send mail. Many providers do not accept SMTP unless you're dialed in, so as to limit spam. So far as I know, only Eudora Pro supports this feature. There, you simply leave the SMTP box blank in their setup screen. Thanx! -- My school colors were clear.

reassigning to mscott@netscape.com This is low priority for Communicator 5.0, so I think it'll end up getting LATERed unless a mozilla participant implements it.

later

verified as later.

Moving all Mail/News Networking bugs to Mail/News Networking-Mail This may re-open previously Verified bugs due to a Bugzilla bug...if so, I will fix those bugs.

I suggest changing this to WONTFIX. XTND XMIT is nonstandard. A standards based mail client should use authenticated SMTP, possibly over the standardized submit protocol (bug 2679).

LATER is deprecated.

WONTFIX per comment.
