Thunderbird Extension: Show SMTP Username 0.2.1

[chuonthis]

Did you recently download it from the homepage? If not, please download the updated version from http://www.chuonthis.com/extensions/tb/ssun.xpi and it should work.

The extension installs OK now in thunderbird 0.8 but it still gives errors in XUL...
for example, on the message format box or in the options boxes it affects.
disabling the extension fixed the errors

I've tried this extension on a debian machine with Thunderbird 0.8. It does not work. If I try to open the advanced settings to configure my email settings tunderbird crushes without an error message. Does anybody notice this error, too or could this be a problem with my environment?

I've downloaded the current version from http://www.chuonthis.com/extensions

Hi,

There's a bug in the latest version of "Show SMTP Username" Extension, when you have two identical SMTP Server Names with different ports. For Example I have a SMTP host "my.smtp.host" with Port 25 (TLS if available), and "my.smtp.host" Port 465 (SSL), maybe this doesn't make much sense but it fact is that this shows the following problem:

What's ok is: tools->account settings->outoing server (smtp)->advanced here all the servers show up with their nicknames (also the two identical ones).
But under tools->account settings->(... xyz account ...)->server settings->advanced one of the two identical servers is missing.

If have a fixed version, I would gladly try it out.

Best regards,

Marc

Thank you for your great extension; it solved me this problem that I recently posted on the Thunderbird support forum:

"About configuring Thunderbird with YPops and Hotmail popper. I can enter the smtp server 127.0.0.1 with different ports in Outgoing server -> Advanced. But when I try to choose it from Server-> Advanced -> SMTP of the specific account, I can only see one ip with a certain port not two different ports. I have another account that I tunnel through SSH and needs access to localhost as well, I got around this by calling the SMTP server localhost. But I don't have a third naming other than localhost and 127.0.0.1"

The only thing is that if I have two accounts requiring the use of the localhost as SMTP with different ports without username and I give them nicknames, they don't appear with their different nicknames in Server-> Advanced -> SMTP of the account but with the name of the SMTP server (localhost or 127.0.0.1) with one of the ports. This doesn't cause me a problem now because both Yahoo and Hotmail require usernames, only the tunnel doesn't. But it would be great if you can extend this feature to the case I described.

Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Whoops, forgot to post that I had previously filed a bug about that problem because of marcelser's report. It was marked as a duplicate of <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237146">bug 237146</a>. Vote for it if you want it fixed.

This extension can not be installed in Thunderbird 0.8. A message pops up: "Show SMTP Username 0.2.1 could not be installed because it is not compatible with this version of Thunderbird. (Show SMTP Username 0.2.1 will only work with Thunderbird versions from 0.5 to 0.7+)

I also get this message with Thunderbird 1.0.2

[chuonthis]

sheilastevens, please download the extension from http://www.chuonthis.com/extensions/tb/ssun.xpi as the extension has been updated, although it *should* work no matter the source of download.

[sheilastevens]

Thank you chuonthis.

Anyone got this to work with multiple aol accounts? Even though all the settings SEEM to be changed in all the right places in options when I use your button, aol still refuses to use my 2nd aol account when I change the smtp from aol 1 to aol 2. Yet if I manually change the smtp details in preferences account 2 will then work, and I can use the smtp button to switch back to aol 1, and THAT then works too? TB 1.04

The extension causes my Thunderbird 1.0.2 Debian GNU/Linux version to crash when I click "Advanced" in the Server Settings for any account.

Steps to reproduce:
0.) Use Debian GNU/Linux
1.) Install version 1.0.2 of Thunderbird (Debian version)
2.) Install version 0.2.1 of "Show SMTP Username"
3.) Enter the "Edit" menu
4.) Click on "Account settings"
5.) Click on "Server Settings" for any account
6.) Click on "Advanced"
7.) crash

Still doesn't work with 1.5. Any update plan?

Please update for T-bird 1.5

howdy chuonthis,

is this ext going to be maintained? i have been pointing a few folks at this ext but they keep reporting that it doesn't work with tb150x - not even with a version override from ntt or mtli ...

i know that oh-so-strange "real life" thing may be taking up your time. [*grin*] i just want to know what your plans for this ext are.

take care,
lee
