[Bug 829015] [NEW] Thunderbird "Login Failed" dialogue loop

 

Public bug reported:

I set up thunderbird to be my mail client on my work computer.
It has been working without issue

My network administrator made me change my network password, which I
have done.

1. I open thunderbird, and it downloads my incoming mail from our company mail, no problem.
2. It displays a dialogue box saying "Login to <servername> failed." 
3. I click the "Enter New Password" button. 

Expected behavior = Login text box appears
Actual behavior  = The "Login Failed" dialogue box just keeps refreshing and appearing on the screen
