Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if
you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test
it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running
apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this
particular issue.

Title:
  TBird does not give a second chance to log in

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  I have several email accounts that I have set up, at my company email.
  Email in these accounts are downloaded by IMAP over SSL, and the SMTP
  outgoing is using the "TLS-if-available" option.

  Account1 is the default account.  When I log on to TBird I type in the
  password and all is fine.

  Account2 is another account.  I typed in the wrong password, and then
  TBird showed me the list of folders under that account as Account2 ->
  Inbox -> Trash, and that is all.  There are no messages in the inbox
  or anywhere else, and none of the expected folders appear.  This is
  reasonable considering that I have not properly logged in.

  What is not very reasonable is that I cannot fix the error, by just
  clicking "Get Mail" to encourage TB to prompt me for the account
  password again.  Instead, it simply reports "There Are No New Messages
  On the Server" in the status bar.  This isnt really true --- it has no
  idea if there are no new messages.  It should at least be honest and
  say something like, you are not logged in so I cannot get new mail for
  you.  And then it should allow me to log in properly.
