Re Postbox: In the Thunderbird dev cycle, we will accept changes that result in failures if users run a modern Thunderbird, and then downgrade to a version of Thunderbird prior to Thunderbird 17. Postbox branched from Thunderbird prior to version 3, and it is unknown how much functionality they have backported. So I would not automatically assume that you could run Thunderbird, then run the same profile on Postbox.

I am in the "make hardy the best release there ever was"-mood today and have brought myself to really reporting every single bit of problem I have put off for so long so somebody with the needed skills has a chance to fix it. I subscribe to an RSS feed hosted on a password-protected https-site in Thunderbird. TB works fine but periodically asks me for the password although I have marked "save password with password manager" in the dialog. In fact, the necessary fields are displayed filled in, but the pop-up comes back to me from time to time and I have to hit the OK button. I have set up a test installation which is exactly the same as the one I am having problems with at https://clients.leggewie.biz/tester/. The ssl-certificate is from cacert.org, so your browser might throw that up at first. The user you need to get in is tb-tester and the password is launchpad. The RSS feed is at https://clients.leggewie.biz/tester/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss When you susbscribe to that in TB and save the login credentials, you should have TB nagging you from time to time to with a login screen.
