98155 - mail forgets old password, when I click abbort in the ask password dialog

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 91656

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[Christoph.Vogelbusch]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; de-AT; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010803
BuildID:    200010803 + Widget Hotfix

I got the following situation:
I'm using a pop3 account and often get connection problems for theree reasons:
1. My provider got problems "mail server can't reach auth-server"
2. I got a mail the second I want to ask for is "mailbox in use"
3. two programs are asking for the mailbox the same time "mailbox in use"

I all situation I get the (correct) message PASS does not succeed, BUT
it always asks me for the password, what could be OK, BUT
Mozilla is forgetting my password even if I click abbort.
(I get the dialog next time I check the mail)

For me this means at the moment, that I have to enter the password nearly every
time, even though I always tell "keep it"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. have your mailserver reect your "checking mail" request
2. dialog with message comes (PASS did not succeed ...) click OK
3. then asks for new password and click abbort
4. check mail again ....

Actual Results:  you'll see mozilla ask you for your pass again

Expected Results:  just get mail with original given password (as I clickt abbort)
(he should even do so if I don't click remember password, but say ok)
