Public bug reported: After upgrading to 1:31.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.15.04.1, Thunderbird no longer asks for an account password, and accordingly cannot access that mail account. Shows [user]@[server]: Connected to [mail server]... as status. This status is maintained indefinitely (or at least beyond the limits of my patience/distraction).
Downgrading to 1:31.6.0+build1-0ubuntu1 fixes the problem, and upgrading again to 1:31.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.15.04.1 brings the problem back. Running from a terminal, there is one message: (process:3721): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed However, this message appears for the downgraded version as well. Running Thunderbird in safe mode does not fix the problem. Expected behaviour: After launch, Thunderbird asks for password Actual behaviour: After launch, Thunderbird never actually asks for a password In addition, there is a Gmail account set up, set to connect using a stored app password, and Thunderbird successfully fetches mail for this account. The problem is only encountered for the account which requires me to enter a password.
