Package: icedove Version: 2.0.0.22-0lenny1 Severity: normal
Icedove does not display any alert or error message if it automatically checks an inbox and the password stored in the password manager is incorrect. The most common example of this occurring is when the e-mail server requires a password change (i.e., password expires every six months). In this case, it happily tries the old, dead password again and again. This leads to two problems. Firstly, the user may be unaware of the change (particularly in my case, in which the password is part of an SSO system that controls a number of services of which e-mail is only one) and thus unaware of the fact that mail may be available. Second, Icedove continually retries with the old password, causing it to trigger account lock-outs. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages icedove depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-7 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2+lenny1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1~lenny1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhunspell-1.2-0 1.2.6-1 spell checker and morphological an ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libnspr4-0d 4.7.1-4 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-1d 3.12.0-6 Network Security Service libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-2+lenny2 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.12-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime icedove recommends no packages.
