401059 - Attempts POP login using old Username & Password

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Glenn Black]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071008 Firefox/2.0.0.8
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.6 (20070728)

I had to change email addresses, made the change in Account Manager, but TB continues to try logging in with old account.  Stopped, restarted, rebooted have no effect.  Old account no longer exists on server, so login continues to fail, password and account entry window continue to popup, but does not allow changing Account username, just password can be changed at popup window, and Account username is wrong.  Deleting Account and re-creating resolves the problem.  Account was originally created with one email address for sending mail SMTP, and a different email address to receive POP (received mail is automatically forwarded by server to secondary address for pickup)

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create account with email address different than login address 
2.Change username in account
3. Get mail
Actual Results:  
Tries to pick up mail from old account name.  If old account no longer exists on server, login fails, popup windows asks for rentry of password, and continues to fail and again asks for new/correct password for old account name that no longer exists.

Expected Results:  
Tries to pickup mail using new (current) account & password, and login is successful and mail downloads normally

->INVALID, you have to change the user name under Account Settings | Server Settings
