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.
Summary: pref: mail.server.server3.hostname should not have to be unique → servers should be unique by [username, host]
updating summary so I don't keep forgetting what this bug is :)
Target Milestone: M6 → M7
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.
Will have this noted for the release notes for M6.
Priority: P3 → P1
Target Milestone: M7 → M8
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.
