Line 176 tries to create a block output stream.  What are the steps to reproduce
this?

Comment 3

[Navin Gupta]

To reproduce :

1) Bring up the mail client having a single POP account. 
2) The password dialog should come up automatically but it doesn't
3) Do GetMsg() and the assertion "Could not ..." is thrown
4) Enter "go" to get rid of assertion. 
 Actual Result : the app hangs
 Expected result : the password dialog should come up.

Changing priority to P1 and severity to "critical"
