This one may be a little bit of a personal quirk, but my handling of
email going to my work account and primary personal account is done
where I let the Seamonkey password manager remember my password for SMTP
and LDAP access, but where I don't allow it to remember for POP access.
To me, because I have complex passwords, it's useful to have to enter
those regularly, as a way of ensuring that I never forget them -- and
there are occasions where it is useful to know that I have them
memorized, without having to rely on my external password manager.
I'm used to the idea that a password needs to be entered once per
session, and since I have Seamonkey open all day, entering those
passwords once per day is an acceptable intrusion, if I don't have need
to restart Seamonkey.
However, I'm seeing that after a few hours open, Seamonkey seems to be
forgetting the entered passwords, and where I have to manually re-enter
to check for new mail. I just upgraded to 2.53.5.1 it's still
happening. I haven't watched closely, but this seems to have started
happening since 2.53.4. Is there some change to Seamonkey that would
cause the difference in handling?
I checked my server settings, and I have one set to check for new
messages every 15 minutes and the other every 30 minutes. I've
experimented with lowering both to 5 minute intervals, and I'm still
seeing the same effect. I'm not sure how frequently I have to re-enter
passwords, but over the course of about 9 hours, I have to re-enter at
least twice.
Should I just accept things, and let Seamonkey remember my POP passwords?
