thanks :merike, forgot about that one. so this is copy-paste after clearing the log, then doing right-click and Get Messages on a http auth protected feed folder. here i click Cancel and stop the operation.
there is no checkbox available in the authentication dialog for remembering the password, so to me it doesn't even make sense to continue with anything else until that checkbox is back with us. message ordering is Last to First, so it'd be logical to read. 2014-12-13 17:42:27 Feeds INFO downloaded: Update: RSS/Allen Latest updates -> https://basecamp.com/2581033/projects/5408130.atom could not be found.

I am in the "make hardy the best release there ever was"-mood today and have brought myself to really reporting every single bit of problem I have put off for so long so somebody with the needed skills has a chance to fix it. I subscribe to an RSS feed hosted on a password-protected https-site in Thunderbird. TB works fine but periodically asks me for the password although I have marked "save password with password manager" in the dialog. In fact, the necessary fields are displayed filled in, but the pop-up comes back to me from time to time and I have to hit the OK button. I have set up a test installation which is exactly the same as the one I am having problems with at https://clients.leggewie.biz/tester/. The ssl-certificate is from cacert.org, so your browser might throw that up at first. The user you need to get in is tb-tester and the password is launchpad. The RSS feed is at https://clients.leggewie.biz/tester/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss When you susbscribe to that in TB and save the login credentials, you should have TB nagging you from time to time to with a login screen.
