Hi,
I have a nuisance in Thunderbird.
When I try to send an email via my provider smtp server, it discovers it needs a password and asks for my master password. I type it, but by this time the smtp session timed out in the server (I guess) and fails.
I try again, and this time Th. asks for my smtp password and whether I want to keep it. Why? He already knows that! This is a nuisance, because I use random passwords difficult to remember and have look it up.
Is there a way to make Thunderbird remember my password for ever and not ask for it again, even if it fails? I want to be able to enter the password in the configuration, not as a pop up when I want to send or receive. I do not want to be asked again if it fails, because once configured the password it keeps being correct.
That would be a very bad thing to do (TM). Reason is that if you're with a provide or company with a policy to only allow three (or however many) tries before you locked out, and you're also forced to change password periodically, guess what's going to happen.... Probably better to find out why it fails the first time, unfortunately I am not the right person for that job.
