The program should not assume that the login information was incorrect and delete it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Check mail when connection to the server is unavailable. 2. 3. Actual Results: When you try to check mail again you are requested to reenter your password. Expected Results: Provide the notification that the login was unsuccessful and let the user determine the cause of the problem. It should never delete information without a confirmation from the user. In my case the email server was down which had nothing to do with the accuracy of the login information the was stored on my computer.
