Bugzilla is not there to find a solution for you as user. This may be fixed in the Product and you will see that if the status of this bug changes to "fixed" instead of New. If you want to get it fixed faster then attach a patch.

wrong !, example :The password on the server may get changed and the Account will be closed after 3x submitting the wrong password. A banned Account is worse ..

If the server answers with an error after sending the login data TB must ask you again because of that. There is AFAIK no standard in the answer and that means that all login errors must trigger this.
Create a pop3/Imap log with such a "asks again" case and attach it if the server didn't respond with a error after sending the login informations !

There is an imap log in 423354 comment #8 and this shows that the error is Gmail:
2448[23702f8]: 2365008:imap.gmail.com:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * BYE
Temporary System Error

Gmail answers with an error directly after login..
