more information please! Everyone else seems to be able to login just fine.
- POP or IMAP?
- does your username contain any non-alphanumeric characters, like %, \, or @?
- how about international characters?
- does your password contain any unusual characters? (less likley to matter)
- have you tried a build in between these two dates to figure out exactly which 
build started exhibiting the problem?

I think the only relevant change recently was the % and @ escaping that seth did 
- I wonder if we broke a different case or something

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

if your username contain a "@", make sure you set the
"mail.allow_at_sign_in_user_name" pref to true.

also, which mail server (and version) are you using?

ok, can we get more consistency with build numbers? the intel_Solaris build is
older than the other two builds which means either
1) it's a solaris/sparc issue (maybe having to do with byte-ordering)
2) it broke before 19-Sept

This bugfix is tested on Mozilla(ID:2000100403) for i386_Solaris and working
fine. Need to be tested on NS6PR3 latest build.
