[Bug 297301] [NEW] after receiving authentication error the password is forgotten

[Broomer68]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

When receiving 'negative vibes' with the web-mail Hotmail extension or a plain pop account which gives a server failure, thunderbird responds with a pre-filled (remembered) password window, and the checkmark 'remember password' unchecked.
Then the next time this account is checked the password is not remembered anymore, and I have to fill it in myself again.

Can the default-behaviour of this remembered-password window also
remember that I want it to remember? (this is: check the checkmark for
remembering if the password was previously remembered (and [or if]
previously accepted by the server)
