[Bug 863150] Re: Endless loop with password prompt(s) in thunderbird produced by EDS Contacts Integration

 

I have installed the update, and do not get into an endless loop anymore when activating the addon:
it asks me for the password twice (different address books?!), I click OK and it goes away.

While that's better than before, it still appears to not be able to
connect (I see 0 addresses), so it should probably re-open the password
prompt while it cannot connect (but stop asking for it when clicking
Cancel).

After restarting Thunderbird (and also disabling/enabling the extension)
it still does not ask for the password.

I should have tested it with a wrong password first.

How would I reset the password prompt to ask me again?

Given that, the update is better than before, so it can go to oneiric-
updates, although I cannot say, if it would cause any regression with a
working setup.

Bug description:
  I have configured two Exchange address books (which are not working
  properly though), and when opening/accessing the calendar in
  Thunderbird I am now stucked in an endless loop with dialogs asking
  for authentication of these address books (which I cannot provide).

  Clicking "Cancel" on these dialogs should make the addon stop asking
  for authentication.
