973202 - Not prompted for password to save draft when writing mail in single message window opened by clicking on a mailto:-link

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[bugzilla]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140130123317

Steps to reproduce:

1. Remove IMAP password for the standard mail account.
2. Open web-browser and click on any mailto-link (or write mailto: in adress bar and push enter). If Tb is the standard mail client a new "compose" window will open.
3. Enter something in the message body. Don't click save draft.
4. Wait until Tb automatically saves draft (will take a minute or two) ...
5. Now Tb will open a dialog saying "An error occured while trying to save your draft. Try again?".


Actual results:

If I push "OK" (= try again) Tb will coninue to twirl the progress bar in the lower right of the window, trying to save the message again.


Expected results:

It would be reasonable to expect that Tb would recognize that it needs a password to save the draft and ask for one.

PS Clicking on "save draft" button works in line with "expected results".

I had to disable FIPS and remove my IMAP-password, but then it happens exactly as described by the original poster.
