Details
I encountered a fairly ugly experience with TBird. I use TBird to connect to my company MS Exchange server which is linked to the domain access and password. Recently I was forced to change my domain password and as result my exchange password changed. However, Thunderbird attempted to contact the exchange server numerous times (Using the old cached password). This resulted in my corporate account being locked out due to multiple failed login attempts. <Bummer> At no time did Thunderbird offer to change my password or account login relative to that IMAP account. And I had to dig fairly deeply in the FAQ to learn how to delete the stored password.

At my company we are seeing the exact same behaviour: Our Active Directory allows three login attempts, then locks the acount. When a password is changed, Thunderbird will keep trying to login using various methods. It does 4 attempts apperently. Obviously this will fail and the Active Directory account is locked. This behaviour happens in Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 on Windows XP.

I am not in a position to verify or close this bug. I can not break or modify my production exchange account. The TB QA team should be in best position to verify and close provided they have an exchange test acct to tinker with.
