Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 2.0.0.22pre (20090711)

After being signed into all mail accounts, it continually prompts to enter a new password for my POP e-mail account.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log into POP account.
2.Let sit open for awhile.
3.
Actual Results:  
A prompt keeps coming up asking "Please enter a new password for [account name] and already has the asterisks in it where my password had been entered. The taskbar tab for Thunderbird then flashes to alert me that it is asking.

Expected Results:  
Once logged in, it should never ask for the password again unless I have shut down or logged out.

This has happened in previous versions as well, and seemed to disappear for awhile. It is very annoying.
