Description

[Darren Peets]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/43.0.2357.130 Chrome/43.0.2357.130 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Open Thunderbird (with accounts set up already), wait for password dialogue

In Ubuntu amd64 packages, this exists in 1:31.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.15.04.1 but not in 1:31.6.0+build1-0ubuntu1.  Problem exists in current 38.1.0 release downloaded from mozilla site.


Actual results:

Shows [user]@[server]: Connected to [mail server]... as status, indefinitely.  Does not ask for password


Expected results:

Password dialogue

I have also filed this with Ubuntu, which should have collected more information:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1477987

If you can give basic parameters of your server (URL, protocol, port, and connection security) we can test it, but without more information there is little that we can do.
