User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/8.0.552.224 Safari/534.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101207 Lightning/1.0b2 Thunderbird/3.1.7

When I type in the wrong password to retrieve my email, I'm not being asked to enter it again. When I then click 'Get Mail' to trigger a new log in, I get an alert >> "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server [my mail server] responded: authorization failed." I have to exit and relaunch TBird to get another log in box.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch the app
2.type in a bad password
3.Select the specific account and click GetMail

Actual Results:  
An alert box comes up:
"Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server [my mail server] responded: authorization failed."

Expected Results:  
presented me with another log in box

I have 5 different accounts that I log in to and this only happens on one of them, Network Solutions. This wasn't a problem in previous versions of TB.
