While browsing a newsserver that doesn't support multiple connections, 
sometimes more than one can accidently occur. After clicking OK in the error 
box that is displayed, I try to go to another newsgroup in the same server 
(that has new messages). It then asks me for the username and password again 
(even though I checked the "Use Password Manager to remember this value." 
checkbox).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log-on to a news server that doesn't support multiple connections.
2. Access a newsgroup that is part of the news server.
3. Click on another newsgroup (in the same news server.)
4. After the error message, click on another newsgroup.
Actual Results:  
It gives an error message about how there were too many connections. When you 
try to go to another newsgroup in it, Thunderbird asks you your username and 
password.

Expected Results:  
Give the error message and after clicking OK, then go to another newsgroup 
(without the username and password being requested).
Btw, I'm using Thunderbird v0.7+ (20040804).
Summary: password manager erases the username and password of a news server when it gives a "too many connections" error message. → password manager erases the username and password of a news server when it gives a "too many connections" error message.
If you're looking for a newsserver that doesn't support multiple connections, I
