When using the TB password manager - If you click on Get Mail (for all accounts) and the password for a pop account has been changed (at the server level) TB does not prompt the user to enter a password nor does it report that it could not check the mail account. Thus, the user never knows that the mail was not actually checked for that account.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Account Manager is being used.
2. Change pop mail password for an account on the server.
3. Click on Get Mail for all accounts.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird does not prompt the user to enter a new password nor does it tell the user that it could not check the pop mail account.

Expected Results:  
Should have prompted to enter a new  password for that mail account, then try to recheck the account.

TB should prompt the user for the correct password and report if it could not check any of the accounts.
