pref: mail.server.server3.hostname should not have to be unique
Win32 1999-04-29-08 build
If you have your prefs50.js file configured for multiple POP accounts and both
account's hostnames go to the same server name, then only one account will show
up in the UI when starting Messenger.
For example:
user_pref("mail.server.server2.hostname", "nsmail-2")
user_pref("mail.server.server3.hostname", "nsmail-2")
--> will not work
user_pref("mail.server.server2.hostname", "nsmail-2")
user_pref("mail.server.server3.hostname", "nsmail-2.mcom.com")
--> will work
Need to be able to support the same server names for different users/accounts.
Note: I have not tried Linux yet. Will do that Friday.

This feature hasn't been implemented - don't bother checking on Linux.
Note to self: Start using userid@hostname in RDF URIs.

Don't have time for this change by M6. Moving to M7.
Adding jefft to the list because I promised this for him over a week ago.

Ugh, this is requiring alot more architecture changes than I expected. I'm
almost done, but I'm moving to M8 because this is risky.

Build 1999062808M8: Win32/NT4, Linux Redhat 5.2, Mac 8.5.1
Verified Fixed
Separate instances of an account appears in the folder pane even though
the server name is the same. Tried various scenarios such as:
- 2Pop: Appears as qatest20@nsmail-2, qatest21@nsmail-2
- 2Imap: Appears as qatest32@tintin, qatest33@tintin
- 2Pop/2IMAP: Appears as qatest20@nsmail-2, qatest21@nsmail-2, qatest32@tintin,
qatest33@tintin
- 1Pop/1IMAP: Appears as qatest20@nsmail-2, qatest22@nsmail-2
Note: Will submit a separate bug so the accounts appear with a Pretty Name or
"qatest20 on nsmail-2". There shouldn't be an "@" sign because it is not an
email address.
