Description Richard Laager 2006-03-28 06:17:09 UTC 
If I change the server on an account and the password was saved, the password 
should continue to work. Currently, I have to re-enter it.

Passwords are tied to server and should be tied to accounts and protocols because it mixes SMTP and POP3 or IMAP passwords. See bug 462982.
