Is it possible to clarify that hitting cancel will not forget the current
password? My mail server seems to occasionally fail authentication for no
particular reason (overloaded, perhaps). Should it present a dialog like so
instead? Feel free to fix the wording!

I have *no* idea what clicking cancel will do when prompted after an
authentication failure. I usually try entering the password again. It would be
nice to mention what was happening.
