It's not a bug, it's the only thing we *can* do. If we get a -ERR from the server, then we have to prompt the user for a new password. end of story.
now, if the POP protocol didn't suck and had machine parsable error codes (like SMTP), this wouldn't be a problem - Evolution could then intelligently decide if it needed to re-prompt for the password or not, but alas...POP does suck and only gives -ERR no matter what the error, so we have no choice.
