Steps:
1) Downloaded Seamonkey
2) Migrated 4.x profile
3) Read email in Seamonkey for 4.x profile
4) Exit Seamonkey
5) Launch Seamonkey
6) Mail component comes up automatically and the password dialog appears
7) Hit cancel on password dialog

Actual Results: Crash!

Expected Results: Dialog disappears and does not ask again.

Build Date/Platform: Late 2/16/00 build on NT
Is this IMAP or POP?
Severity: normal → major
QA Contact: lchiang → esther
Using IMAP with my netscape work account.
Not seeing this using 2000-02-16-08 on NT. Bijal or Esther? Anyone have a 
Talkback incident ID?
I haven't seen this bug will try to reproduce it and get a stack trace.
I tried to reproduce this using build 2000-02-17-09 and can't.  
Before I try several scenarios, I would like to get a little more information:

1. Did you have only (1) 4.x profile when you migrated to Seamonkey?
2. In your 4.x profile was your Appearance Preference set to "On startup launch: 
"Messenger"?

I ask these questions because your steps don't mention Profile Manager coming up 
during migration or when launching the 2nd time and step 6 states Messenger 
comes up automatically.

It is pretty simple to reproduce, but only if I had explained it better:
1) Launch Seamonkey with a default profile that launches Mail component at start
2) Exit the Mail client
3) On password dialog, hit cancel

Seems that because the Mail window was dismissed, the cancel dialog keeps 
crashing.

Phil found a way to weasel out of owning this bug.  Reassigning.

Don't worry selmer, I'll weasel you out of it as well.  The problem is that the 
password dialog isn't modal.  If it were modal, you wouldn't be able to dismiss 
the mail client before closing the password dialog box.  So this is a dup of bug 
25684
