This is a generic problem not restricted to mail.
The same problem in browser too (e.g. hotmail.com).

disable IME code seems to be removed by bug 52279.

Comment 5

[Roy Yokoyama]

Why do we need to disable IME for password field?
I have a fix for 63029 which allows users to type double-byte
password.

ftang: any reason why we need to turn IME OFF?

m_kato-
the PasswordFieldInit stuff NEVER work. We origional want to do that so we put 
some code there, but it never been used. We never find out a good way to hook up 
from upper level. the fix in 52279 does not disable the turn off IME in password 
field, it simply remove the code which origional intent to do so.

This issue is very contraversial. Some people ask us to disable IME in password 
field as a feature, but some other people ask us to allow Kanji in password 
field AS a feature. No matter which way you go, some people think it is a bug. 

We have to make a decision which way is the "RIGHT" way.
