Sometimes news-reader "forgots" my login information (on news server that requries logging 
in). These "forgots" are random, they just come sooner or later, and I have to type username and 
password again.

I have used Mozillas since 0.9.3 this bug(?) is in every version.
Do you get an error message from the news server before mozilla forgets the
password ?


No, no errors, just username dialog suddenly pops up when changing message.

Internet-
connection or Mozilla or news-server has *NOT* restarted/disconnected  when this does happen.
Changing messages, or changing newsgroups within the same server?
Changing messages, very annoying when changing to next message and you have to type your 
accounts again and again and again all the time.

MAYBE it comes when changing newsgroups too, 
I don't switch newsgroup so often so I haven't noticed it :)

I have only one server and few 
newsgroups on the list.
Hi Antti, would you mind providing us with an NNTP protocol log?

Instructions can be found at
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html#imap (just
substitute NNTP for IMAP), thanks!
Sorry for this question, but you have clicked the "save this password" checkbox,
right?  Also, please provide a logfile (see instructions/link posted above) so
that we can better troubleshoot this.  Thanks.  
NO! I never allow any software to store my passwords :)

I will provide log next monday.
Here is the NNTP-log

There is one "password forget" at the end, seems Mozilla is logging out from the server?
If you haven't clicked "Save this password", how do you expect Mozilla to know
your login information?
I expect Mozilla to remember my password for one session (and forget it after 
closing Mozilla). It's not nice to write password again every 5-10 minutes or 
so.
