(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Michael Spertus]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0rc1)

BuildID:    2002041711

When I went to check my mail, I got the dialog box "The PASS command did not
succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded: invalid user/password" I hit
OK and the box immediately came up again. No matter how many times I hit OK, the
box just keeps coming up, preventing me from using mail. FWIW, I can continue
browsing throughout.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get pop mail with an invalid password
2.Hit "OK" when it complains


Actual Results:  The same dialog box keeps coming back up

Expected Results:  The box will stop coming back up
