password caching not shown in account configuration pane
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:01:48 UTC
Please describe the problem: after selecting "remember password" in the password request dialog, the password becomes cached and user isn't asked again for it. this looks like the expected behaviour. the problem is than after making a password cached, the account configuration pane does't show the "remember password" checkbox selected. an user that wanted to check his/her account settings would then be unaware that his/her password is cached, and wouldn't be able to undo her choice this way. the action menu - forget password works: after using it the password become non-cached Steps to reproduce: 1. in the autentication dialog for a mail account, insert the correct password and check the "remember password" checkbox 2. open the account configuration pane 3. select the mail account (the same as step 1 :) 4. select the "receiving mail" pane Actual results: the "remember password" checkbox IS NOT checked Expected results: the "remember password" checkbox SHOULD BE checked, and unchecking it should have the same effect as the "forget password" menu action Does this happen every time? yes Other information: it looks like the forget password command works on the currently selected account. this isn't obvious to the user. the name could be changed in "forget password for this account", or a submenu could be added, offering to forget the password for each accounts, or for all of them.
