On POP mail when the server changes name (in this case trex2.oscs.montana.edu
became mymail.msu.montana.edu) mozilla did not prompt for a new password it just
gave error messages about the remote server not allowing access due to a bad
password.  And the real problem it this locks up mozilla, when you click ok is
repops up the message, when you click the "x" to close the window same story. 
Must use task manager to kill the process.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. POP server changes name
2. try and check mail
3. stuck in never ending cycle of cannot connect popup messages

Actual Results:  
Locks up mozilla, when you click ok is repops up the message, when you click the
"x" to close the window same story.  Must use task manager to kill the process.

Expected Results:  
As for the new password, or at least not popped up another message box right
away so that there was time to remove thge offending password from the password
manager.
