689999 - enhancement request - clarify/expand info in message box for send errors

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221592

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[[:AlanK]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2
Build ID: 20110902133214

Steps to reproduce:

Send an email message, or requesting email from all mailboxes.


Actual results:

Error pops up displaying a message that the server is not recognizing the password and I have to retype it.    I am unable to tell what MAILBOX I am trying to retype the login/password for.    


Expected results:

Putting up the server name, like incoming.verizon.net is not sufficient.   I need to know what mailbox AT VERIZON is being questioned.     Like 
.... reenter the password for [e-mail] incoming.verizon.net:
(Actually the servername is really useless, [e-mail] would be sufficient) 
So using the email address or friendly name I used to save the settings would be better.

Do you notice the status line contains which email account is being contacted? But still I am not sure this always corresponds to the error dialog displayed, in cases there are more accounts checked simultaneously. Bug 221592 should cover this.
