Using 1999100320M10 on win98, 1999100118M10 on linux and 1999100120M10 on Mac
the password is not getting copied to the prefs.js file when Remember
password=true.  This is regression.  If M10 is to be respun, please include this
fix.

1. Edit your prefs.js file (currenty you can't do this using the UI) to:
user_pref("mail.server.serverX.remember_password", true);  (X=your server
number)
2. Launch Messenger
3. Open the account that corresponds to the server # you just edited.
4. Give your password.
5. File Close Messenger
6. Repeat steps 2 & 3

Results: the password dialog comes up requesting your password
Expected: the password dialog not to come up and the account to open displaying
all messages
