219976 - make it easier for embedders to connect to mail servers with stored passwords

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[David :Bienvenu]

Right now, mail uses the nsIAuthPrompt to retrieve passwords from wallet - this
requires that we have a doc shell and a window watcher and a web shell. However,
if the password is in the wallet, we really don't need any of these things, so
we can just get the password directly from nsIPasswordManagerInternal.
