Comment 26 for bug 119358

I've got version 1.5.0.12-0ubuntu0.7.04 from the feisty repos here.

Although the password dialog is not part of the wizard, i am not asked if i want to start downloading mail, but the wizard ends and the password dialog opens immediately.

Anyway - that's not my main point. It is that Thunderbird should use some secure way to submit the password by default, because unknowlegeable users won't go to the account settings and choose one by themself.
