User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20131206152524 Steps to reproduce: I use password with more than 128 characters in SMTP server config. For testing I used password containing digits only 1234567890123456.... The same password used with command line tool (openssl s_client -crlf -connect host:587 -starttls smtp) works. Tested auth methods are PLAIN and LOGIN. Actual results: Login fails. Server returns 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure. I tried NSPR logging, but it does not log auth credentials used, so I don't have more info. NSPR log confirms that Thunderbird uses both PLAIN and LOGIN methods and both fail the same. Expected results: Successful login.
