Have you checked the error messages in the log? I see this from time
to time when a connection gets killed for whatever reason, and you
attempt to connect before the lock file on the server is removed. The
server returns an error message about not being able to log in because
of the lock file, but TB sometimes prompts for the user/pass
combination again. As they are valid, by the time you click OK, the
lock has been removed because they tend to have an expire time.
Outlook is terrible for doing that, I noticed it a lot on networks
with WinGate as a proxy server.

Yes, you're right. Unfortunately, I don't really care.
