Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a news server which requires authentication. 2. Subscribe to several groups. 3. Click Get Msgs. Actual Results: Mozilla asks me for the username and password several times. Expected Results: Mozilla should only ask once and save it. If the login doesn't work in a particular group, it should ask again in case the group has another password.
