I am seeing some strange behavior with 2.5 and news groups. Despite

SeaMonkey 2.5 will clear this up, sometimes not.
How can this be fixed?

I have had the same problems with Seamonkey 2.5 and some newsservers.
I keep getting prompted for the password and the username.
A News (NNTP) error occured: Authentication failed -
Incorrect username/password
When I try again, multiple times
Sometime it sticks and entries can be found in the password manager, sometimes
it does not work. Never had this with older Seamonkey versions. I have seen it
before in the old Mozilla Suite.
Seamonkey 2.5 is based on Thunderbird 8 (as far as I know),
Seems to ba a bug. There is a threat about the same problem in the Thunderbird
newsgroup:

I am just idly wondering if this is a timing problem.
I.e. SM replies too quickly to username/password from the server,
and the server doesn't get the message.
Perhaps the connection and authentication protocol/conversation
between SM and the server should be paced at a human interaction
speed with few milliseconds of delays between the back and forth
messages.
