[Bug 273933] Re: thunderbird fails to email via smtp with message "An error has occurred sending mail: SMTP server error. The server responded: Unknown command contact your administrator for assistance"

[Fridolin Heyer]

Thunderbird has a strange problem when working with slow mailservers.

The preference variable

mail.server.server2.timeout  hat a default value of 29.

Setting this to 600 solves the problem.

But this setting is not persistent, thunderbird resetst the preference back to 29
after sending a mail.

The bug is that thunderbird overwrites a user setting!
