Description S. Burmeister 2008-03-12 23:49:42 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux

If I enter pop3.1und1.de as pop-server and use "check what the server supports" it does not tell me anything although that host does not exist.
Comment 1 S. Burmeister 2008-10-29 10:13:05 UTC 
If I try to send an email with that server I am told that the sending failed, but not that the server URL is wrong, i.e. does not exist.
Comment 2 Michael Leupold 2009-04-04 10:59:21 UTC 
I can confirm this bug on trunk r948809.
Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2010-04-27 13:23:34 UTC

Comment 5 Laurent Montel 2010-04-27 14:03:25 UTC 
We can't backport to kde4.4 because it adds a new i18n
But now it fixed in trunk
Comment 6 Thomas McGuire 2010-05-13 15:00:53 UTC 
Reopening, It produces false positives, for example on imap.gmail.com.
Assigning to Tom on his request.
