Ever since yesterday (I think) Thunderbird trunk has been prompting me
*ten times* for my master password. I have 7 IMAP accounts and 7 CalDAV
Lightning calendars.

Also, moving messages (via menu or d&d) from my IMAP account to Local
Folders crashes Thunderbird. Often, just selecting a newsgroup will also
crash Thunderbird. I've let Thunderbird send crash reports.

Is this a known issue? Is thee a bug I can track?

Thanks!

good to see you are trying trunk.

in short, yes

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product=MailNews+Core&product=Thunderbird&product=Toolkit&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=regression&resolution=FIXED&resolution=---&bug_severity=critical&bug_severity=major&bug_severity=normal&chfieldfrom=20d&chfieldto=Now&chfield=%5BBug+creation%5D

is an approximation of a query you can use to easily find recent trunk
regressions (if the bug has the regression keyword. I think the
password bug might not have the keyword - if you modify the advanced
query you should find what you seek. The password bug should be trivial
to find even with non-advanced search

When mail.password_protect_local_cache is set to "true",
Thunderbird is asking for a password before you can acces your IMAP
folders.
Well, TB 3.0b1 is asking alright, but if you press Cancel, you can
still access those folders just as if you have inserted the password.
This happening for some time, as you can see here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231608 and I really hope
that Mozilla guys are on this and fix it in the final Thunderbird 3
release.

I couldn't find the bug there - even after modifying the query.

However, the bug *seems* to be fixed in today's nightly. I'm still
getting the multiple PW prompts, but at least D&D of IMAP messages to
Local Folders isn't crashing anymore. :-)

This is probably https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437635
which regressed with the password manager change. I think I know where
it regressed and what the solution is, but I haven't tried it out yet.

This was probably https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466730
and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473970 given that one
of your later posts said that it is now fixed.

That seems to be the correct bug. Thanks!

bah. my bad. the bug was severity blocker, which is a rarity. adding
sev=blocker to the query would have found it. lesson learned
