98706 - Password not sent properly after mailbox-in-use message

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 91656

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3+)

BuildID:    2001090503

If a pop3 session fails due to mailbox in use, mozilla pops up a window asking
for a new password for the mail account (why mozilla even asks for a password
after this error is another issue, Netscape has been doing this since at least
4.0, and I think 3.x, why?).  The password does not get sent correctly, no
matter how many times you try it you get a bad login response.  If you cancel
and hit get messages again, you get the password dialog and the password will be
properly passed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Arrange to have your pop3 mailbox be in-use
2.Try to get your messages, which of course fails
3.Enter your correct pop3 password, which will fail with a bad login.

Actual Results:  Mail password not accepted, bad login returned.

Expected Results:  Mail password should have been accepted.
