Bug ID: 329526
Summary: password cleared if login refused by server
Classification: Unclassified
Product: Akonadi
Version: 4.12
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: POP3 Resource
Assignee: mcgu...@kde.org
Reporter: criss...@gmx.de
CC: kdepim-bugs@kde.org, vkra...@kde.org
The password for an pop3 account is cleared when the server refused the account
data. On next request cycle the user have to enter the password again. This
behavior is problematic. There serveral providers which refuses the login when
called to often within a time period or busy. Its very nasty for the user to
enter the password alltimes again if the login has been failed before. I think
the password dialog should be displayed to the user with prefilled password.
Then the user have the choice to enter a new password or simply hit enter to
use the old password again. Addionally, it could be useful to have a check
option in preferences of the pop3 ressource which allows to ignore login
failitures and dont display the password dialog in that case.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a pop3 ressource with account data from web.de (freemail), gmx
(freemail) or t-online
2. request to pull mail fast manually (web.de: < 3min, gmx: < 30s, t-online: no
time value known, randomly)
Actual Results:
account data dialog displayed, username filled in, password removed
Expected Results:
account data dialog displayed, username and password filled in
