[Bug 264299] [NEW] ldap account login having to be repeated

[graylion]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Ubuntu 8.04.1 AMD64
TB version 2.0.0.16 (20080724)

I am using a somewhat unusual setup

I have 4 email accounts defined, 1 is a POP account, one is gmail, 2 are
different IMAP mailboxes on the same server, called mailboxA and
mailboxB from now on.

mailboxA actually covers 3 different email addresses via aliases on the
mail server side and different identities in TB. mailboxB is
straighforward in this.

mailboxA and mailboxB also use 2 different ldap accounts on the same
ldap server (same box as the imap server), so both are configured to
"use a different LDAP server". What happens is that whenever I change
identity to send email from a different account or identity I get asked
the LDAP password twice, clearly for both of these accounts (they do
have different passwords) and no amount of saving it in password manager
changes that.

IMO the managing of different identities is flakey and why on earth does
it ask me for the LDAP password for mailboxB's LDAP account when I am
using one of mailboxA's identities? And vice versa?
