Bug Description
I set up thunderbird to be my mail client on my work computer.
It has been working without issue
My network administrator made me change my network password, which I have done.
1. I open thunderbird, and it downloads my incoming mail from our company mail, no problem.
2. It displays a dialogue box saying "Login to <servername> failed."
3. I click the "Enter New Password" button.
Expected behavior = Login text box appears
Actual behavior = The "Login Failed" dialogue box just keeps refreshing and appearing on the screen

The only way I could get my account to work was to completely delete the account, reboot and set up the account from scratch again.
Thank you.
