Description Adolfo Bravo Ferreira 2003-03-16 12:15:12 UTC 
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem:
When I put my password that starts with / in my pop3 account and save
password, it is sending the password like (null) password.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create an pop3 account without save your password
2. Press Send And Receive
3. Put some password that starts with / and save your password

Actual Results:
Wrong Password by pop3 daemon, with null password as result.

Expected Results:
Correct Password because when I don't press Save Password it works.

How often does this happen? 
Every time when Send And Receive is runned.

Additional Information:

this sounds like a bug in e-passwds. probably saving a NULL password
as a string and therefor actually saving "(null)" as the password.
Comment 2 Adolfo Bravo Ferreira 2003-03-18 22:13:15 UTC 
I'm getting null password as result but my password isn't null... and
starts with /=-. When i was with other account i wasn't with this problem.
