Description

Attachment: FirstSend_PW-Cancellation_ErrorsOut_99b2.PNG

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0

Steps to reproduce:

• Tools>Settings>Privacy&Security: have no saved passwords for the active account, either for incoming or outgoing server)

• Close and Reopen Thunderbird …Pop-up displayed asking for PW

• Enter PW to download new messages, click OK

• Click on Write and compose a test message

• Hit Send…Pop-up displayed asking for PW (for outgoing server)

• Click to Cancel instead of sending (having a PW entered (or not) has no effect on the bug)

Actual results:

After initial cancellation….

• Message is displayed saying “….sending message…”

• Then the Password Entry dialog shows again.

Click to Cancel Again…

• Pop-up displays saying Login Failed, with an option to retry with a new PW.

Click to Cancel Again….

• A error message is displayed with the header ”Sending of Message Failed”

Expected results:

Upon cancelling the send function from the PW request dialog, would expect the send function to resolve and directly return focus to the unsent message.
