This look like 352801 has risen again.

I have several @zoho.com accounts. One of these I always have to enter the password on start up of Thunderbird. This is on purpose so I will not forget the password.

If I goof the password the first time, I get re-prompted to enter it again, If I enter it correctly, I still get re-prompted. Pressing cancel and everything works properly.

I have tried goofing the password several times and when I finally enter it correctly, I still get the re-prompt.

Summary: keeps asking for password and first goof → keeps asking for password after first goof
Severity: -- → S3
Priority: -- → P3
Summary: keeps asking for password after first goof → Repeatedly keeps asking for password even after entering the correct one (after one wrong try)
Component: Untriaged → Security

Thanks Todd.

Odd.

Is this on an IMAP account? Same as bug 1673446?

This is an IMAP accout at zoho.com. They give out free account for single users. This will help you test.

I do not believe this is 1673446. One you enter the password correctly and cancel out of the repeated prompts, send and receive are both normal

This should be fixed in TB102.0.1 by Bug 1768121
