Here is the original text:
[*] New POP3 password dialogue box is not more popping up during POP3
session if not needed. Also, if it is configured to always prompt for
POP3 password, The Bat! does not offer to update account data.
I do not find it very informative - but that may be my fault. BTW, it is
"hidden" in a very big text, which is not particularly arranged for
readability.
Considering that this change concerns security it could have been more
prominently featured. Interestingly after checking the "Don't remember
..." checkbox under "Authentication" the appearance of the POP3 dialogue
changes (button "Change ..."). I recommend to place the checkbox on the
first page - not hidden behind a button, so anybody will see it
immediately.

This sounds worse then my problem - securitywise ...
