you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

I have sort of the same problem, but I suspect it's the same. 

When the master password dialog comes up, and you cancel it or enter the wrong
password, you get a new one. You will keep ketting new one until you exit
thunderbird. I would expect the program to not ask for the password again when
you cancel it and just let the connection (IMAP, POP3, whatever) fail. Then,
when a new _manual_ connect attempt is made, the dialog should pop up again. So,
not because of an auto-mail-check, because that would be annoying.

tested versions: thunderbird-1.5b1 and 1.0.6.
OS: Gentoo Linux, x86 architecture.
