(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[Boris Granveaud]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

I have set the automatic download of new mails from my POP3 server.
Sometimes, Mozilla got this error from the server: "The PASS command did not
succeed. Mail server ... responded: The RPC server is too busy to complete this
operation".
The problem is that, after that, it asks again for the POP3 password that I have
already entered and saved.
When the error is "Cannot connect to the POP3 server", the password is not asked
again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.save the password of a POP3 account
2.get an "RPC server is too busy to complete the operation" from the POP3 server
3.try to check the mail on the server again

Actual Results:  
it asks for the POP3 password that I've already entered and saved

Expected Results:  
use the saved password
