138801 - Invalid password causes mail to go into infinite loop

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 121926

(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)
Gecko/20020417
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

Dup of Bug 135658 ?

The invalid password can't be the problem: works here with gmx mailserver..

I think the yahoo server sends a command, that bugzilla mail doesn't
understand.. like in bug 135658

  The problem only occurs when the incorrect password is stored at the password
manager. If the supplied password is not stored there, moz will ask for a new
password.
  I have reproduce this bug with 1.0 RC2, using windows 2000 and IT House Mail
Server (http://www.ithouse.com).

Reporter,
If you don't want to get the password dialog prompt back again with an invalid 
password you should click on cancel button.

Why is this a duplicate of 140274? It looks pretty different. Also, pressing
Cancel doesn't help. The window keeps coming back.

Do you still experience this problem with the recent builds?

Reopening to break some weird cyclical duplication.
