30649 - Password prompts for multiple POP account on the same server are confusing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26768

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

** Observed with 3/5/2000 Win32 build **

0. I don't have the password "remembered" via the setup.
1. I tried out 2 accounts on the same POP server named something like:

   [e-mail]
   [e-mail]

2. Now I select one of the icons and try to download msgs for "abc"
   and put in the password. It seems to work.
3. Now I select the 2nd account icon and try to download msgs for "def".
   I get prompted for "abc" instead. So I enter the password for
   "abc" and get rejected. But when I enter the password for "abc", it
   works and download msgs for "def".
4. So no matter which server I select, I seem to get prompted for
   only 1 server. 

Something similar happens for multiple IMAP accounts on the same
server but the behavior is somewhat different and confusing at the
moment. I'll probably file another bug on that later.
