I get prompted three times for the master password every time I start Thunderbird. mail.password_protect_local_cache is set to false. If I type the right password and cancel either of the other two prompts, I get a prompt for one of my mail account passwords. I have four IMAP accounts with "check for new messages at startup" checked; all but one of those uses SSL/TLS. Coincidence?

This is driving me crazy.

I'm running TB 3.0.3 on Windows XP.
I've never touched the local_cache pref at all.

I've seen behavior like this when I have Lightning enabled, but (I think) not otherwise.  This is presumably because Lightning wants to get saved passwords for remote calendars.  Do you guys have a similar setup?

Mark, is the work you're doing around prompting stuff likely to fix this for Lightning as well?
I do run Lightning and have one remote calendar stored on Google.
bug 349641 is the Lightning bug for the master password
comment #0 is a bug about not having lightning as it is reproducible in -safe-mode .
Is this a dupe of bug 338549?
