Details

After creating a new account, the user is prompted for a password.  If the
password is rejected, a dialogue is returned informing the user that the
user/pass combination is invalid.  The dialogue has only one button ("Okay"),
and clicking it resubmits the incorrect auth information to the server, which in
turn prompts another dialogue.

The dialogue precludes any actions with the client (including killing the
client).  User must force kill the mailnews client process (eg by using the task
mgr in Win) and restart offline to correct the issue.
