At startup the master password for the security device must be entered for each account. This is a regression.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure multiple accounts which uses IMAP, POP3 over TLS (secure).
2. Start TB.
Actual Results:  
For each account the password prompt for the software security device appears.

Expected Results:  
Should ask only once for the password as in previous versions.

Annoying.

Regression from which version?

Is this a duplicate of bug 431819? Another possibility could be bug 338549 but that depends on your regression range.

If its not either of those two bugs, please provide exact text of dialog that keeps on appearing so we can be sure which one it is.

Certainly not.

Yes, this looks like it's about the same issue. Interestingly also that the reporting version was 3.1a even though it was report in 2006. Marking this one a duplicate of 338549 for now.
