479777 - Window title of password query windows need to contain the name of the related account

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221592

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Johnny Halfmoon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.19 (20081209)

When Thunderbird queries for a password, the query window title is always "Mail Server Password Required" or "Enter your Password". It would be very useful if the window title contained some information about the account it is requesting a password for. The reason for this is that some external password managers, like Keepass, are able to automatically enter a password, based on a window title.

Currently, these password managers do not work well with Thunderbird, because the window titles do not contain information relating to the account.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a fresh copy of Thunderbird.
2. Make sure that there are no cached passwords in Thunderbird and that at least one working mailaccount is configured.
3. Restart Thunderbird.
4. Check for new mail.
5. Notice how the password query window contains no information about the account it is requesting a password for.

Actual Results:  
The password request window *doesn't* contain the name of the account it is requesting a password for.

Expected Results:  
The password request window *should* contain the name of the account it is requesting a password for.

I think bug 221592 could cover this.
