294738 - Saved newsgroup username/password not used, interactive request does not identify account

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[E. S. Fábián]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: TB 1.0.2

Repeated pop-up requesting first username, then password while attempting to
synchronize multiple newsgroups from 3 servers, two servers requiring
username/password, not same. Popup does not identify which server to permit
selection of corresponding username. U/P query pop-ups repeated at least once a
minute.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Sign up to multiple news servers, each requiring username/password identification
2.Add the accounts to Thunderbird, subscribe to newsgroups, enter
username/password into password database
3.Synchronize all accounts

Actual Results:  
Virtual hangup from repeated username/password queries without identifying news
server

Expected Results:  
Once the password manager stores username/password for each NG account, manual
inquiries should never occur.

Makes Tbird unusable.
