467917 - Integrate Thunderbird Password Manager with Keyring, Kwallet, Keepass, Keychain, and or Windows Cryptoapi

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 239131

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Build Identifier: 

It would be helpful if the Password Manager in Thunderbird (as well as add-on's) could interact with existing sensitive-data storage mechanisms like Gnome's Keyring, Keepass, and or Apple's Keychain.

Unlocking a password manager for Firefox, Thunderbird, Seamonkey, and all the other tools one uses can be tedious.

Reproducible: Always

Perhaps work on the Firefox Password Manager could be reused to resolve this issue.

Used, rather than reused: it'll be fixed by the combination of switching to the Toolkit password manager plus all the various bugs for having it support platform password managers.
