This appens when I'm polling my mail on pop3.nordnet.fr (POP server)
This server answers: +ERR Huh ???
when you enter a wrong password.

Mail&news reports this as a single error and still think the password is ok,
so I can't change ths pwd and must reload.

Reporter is this still a problem in the latest nightlies?
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
From Reporter:
> Still a problem on Build 2000121820

Marking NEW as per comments. Reporter can you give us a test login there so we
can try it out as well?
*** Bug 59942 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
More Notes from reporter:

I can't give you a passwd, but you can try my login : fcartegnie
so you can try on pop3.nordnet.fr 110
USER fcartegnie
PASS whateveryouwant


It will reply "Err-Huh?"
instead of Err-Authorization failed
And mozilla will not manage to ask for the right passwd


Adding testcase keyword
Keywords: testcase
I have a few POP account, 2 of them (which is using qmail) has the same problem
as this bug described.  Other accounts (unknown mail server) are working
correctly.  Strangely the MailNews from Netscape 6 doesn't have this problem
even for those 2 accounts.  Both Mozilla 0.6 & 0.7 suffer from this.
Confirming it with 2001012008 build on WINNT , when a wrong pswd is entered , a 
dialog comesup saying "unable to send password information to the server, 
contact your administrator or try again later". This dialog keeps coming when 
I tried to get messages, giving no way to specify correct password during this 
browser session.  Actually Alert message is misleading, unless it has sent the 
information to the server how can it checks whther paswd is correct or wrong.
