I can confirm that StartupMaster corrects the problem for Google Calendars and email. However, if you have an .ics file located on an FTP server - it still prompts you to log into the FTP server. It does fill in the password for you but prompts each time. So shouldn't StartupMaster serve as a good starting point to solving this? I have great respect for the Open Source Firefox and Thunderbird/Lightening projects but it looks like this was reported in 2006? and it's listed as New? I can tell you that we extensively use Thunderbird and Lightening with many of our 500 users. These multiple prompts are really making our users not want to use Lightening with Thunderbird. For us this isn't a minor bug. Yes, it only requires re-entering the password and then the system works but imagine have a large number of shared Calendars N - now enter your password N + 1 times. If I can help debugging, I'm willing to help but it sounds like it is just a matter of someone picking up and working on this long standing bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567480 Title: Double simultaneous password request -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
