Package: enigmail
Version: 2:1.5.1+id17-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

To err is human, they say.

Enigmail has an option to cache a password for five minutes when
entering it, which is switched on by default. Unfortunately, this
setting is not ignored when the encryption failed for some reason, like,
say, "the user mistyped his password".

I can also not find any command to flush the password cache.

Both combined mean that if you accidentally mistype your password, and
you didn't switch off the "cache password" option, enigmail will be
nonfunctional for five minutes.

This is annoying.
