#38 overzealous validation during accout setup. user->email addr

[Eric J Schwarzenbach]

In attempting to try out Pooka,I immediately hit a show stopper. I use Popfile as a spam catcher. It runs as a local proxy for gettig your mail and categorizes it before it gives it to you. To use it, you need to congfigure your email client with localhost as your mail server name, and userame in the form of realmailserver:userame, so for example pop.rcn.com:myame. Attempting this, Pooka gives me the error

Error changing value NewStoreWizarrd.editors.user.from to
'pop.rcn.com:myame@localhost': must be a valid email address.

While that syntax for the username looks a bit odd, every other email client I've looked at has no problem with it.

I'm not positive but it sounds like it's not the user name directly that it is having trouble validating but it is trying to infer an email address from it and that is where the syntax problem comes in. The problem with that is that in any sort of proxy situation you cannot infer the email name from the server and user name.
