You are missing the point.
Thunderbird is set to remember all those account passwords. But instead of having them stored in clear, they are protected with a master password (you obviously don't).
What makes you think they are stored in the clear, even without a master password? If you look at the files under your Profile you'll see 'signons.sqlite'. The account information is kept there. There are various tools you can use to inspect that file, but you will see a table 'moz_logins' with an entry for each account. The passwords are there encrypted. They are encrypted whether or not you use a master password!
Till one enters that master password, Thunderbird can not access the account password. This is as intended, so far.
If you do not have a master password then mozilla can still access that table and those passwords and still decrypt them. That's how I have my system set up.
When it gets to this point, it asks for the account passwords, and also for the master password. It should only ask for the master password, and then only once.
This is simply bad programming, not a bug.
I think it is a configuration problem on your system. Wy don't you try unsetting your master password and see it you still get demands for individual accounts? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
