I installed the new release 1.7 of Mozilla. To get new messages (mail) I clicked
on the button and I had to enter the password. Then nothing happened though
there were new messages on the server. Clicking the button once more, the
messages are downloaded. This problem doesn't exist in version 1.6

Is this each time you get mails, each time you get mails in a session, or was it
just once after switching to 1.7?

Indeed it happened each time I tried to get new messages without having entered
the password. After entering the password it worked normally. Because of this
bug I switched back to version 1.6

If an password is entered/in the manager and detected as false, you'll get
prompted for a new one. After entering this one, you've to issue a new get.

But if none is present in the manager or cache when pressing get msgs, it
shouldn't be necessary twice. To this I wasn't able to reproduce the behaviour
you described with 1.7 here.
Sorry, I can't help.

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
