Mozilla will not reprompt me for the password for my POP3 account if I get it
wrong the first time.
I am not using the password manager so every time I start Mozilla and check my
mail, I am prompted for the password for my POP3 account. If I enter the wrong
password, I get a dialog that says in part: "An error occurred while sending
your password to the mail server...." Actually I get two of these dialogs. One
would seem to be enough. But, the real problem I am having is that if I try to
get my mail again, Mozilla does not reprompt me for my password but simply
resends the bad password. The only way I can get Mozilla to prompt me for the
password is to restart it. This seems to be a recent regression since I
distinctly remember that Mozilla would keep prompting me for my password until I
got it right, which in my case could be quite a few times.
Tested in Mozilla 093009 on Linux.
Tested on 09302000 linux release build. This works fine for me. It would be nice
if you could provide the POP3 client log. Thanks,

POP3 client log? Where do I get one of those?
Oh, forgot to mention. Prior to start up the mozilla application set the
following environment variable:
setenv NSPR_LOG_MODULES POP3
setenv NSPR_LOG_FILE ~/tmp/pop3log.txt
When shutting down the app, the pop3log.txt should capture all the pop3 client
transactions.

Still broken for me on Mozilla 100215 on Linux. The log follows, but here is
what I observed that is different between Moz on Linux and Moz on NT: On Linux
I get two of the "An error occurred while sending your password to the mail
server...." dialogs, one after the other. On NT, I get one error dialog
followed by the password prompt.
