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

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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.
