THanks for the patch. Here's what happened. 1. I disabled the old AOL/Netscape plugin and installed the new b1 version. 2. I selected 'get mail' for that account. and got the message: "There are no new messages on the server." Hurrah ! or so I thought. 3. I then signed in to my account using my browser, checked that there were indeed no new messages . (There were none). THen, from the browser, I sent a test message to myself, and waited till it showed up in the inbox. Then I signed out of the account. 4. I then reopened TB, and tried to retrieve the test message. TB want me to enter the password again, which I did, and checked the box marked Use Password Manager to remember the password. No dice. I got the error messag: : "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server locahost responded: Login failed". 5. I then tried using TB to send another test message to myself. TB then asked for the password again (which I thought was odd given I had just entered it when trying to get the first test message and had checked the box asking Password Manager to remember it.) I also rechecked the remember password box. No dice. I got the error message: "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server localhost failed. The server may be unavailable or refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server setting is correct and try again, or elde contact your network administrator." 6. I then went to Tools/Options/Privacy/Passwords and clicked the Edit Saved Passwords button to get into Password Manager. There were no entries listed. I found this od as well, given I had requeste Password Manager to remember the password twice.
I have been as specific as possible about the sequence of actions to assist in debugging, given you have been good enough to write a patch which on the face of it worked first time around. I would look at the log files as well, but don't know how to do this - if someone would n't mind posting a link or a howto for that, I'll be hapy to oblige. My conclusion sofar is that there is something broken in Password Manager as well as any problem with the AOL plugin. I suspect that the two problem areas are interacting in some way. Certainly a common thread in the access problems I have seen on the main forum indicate repeat system requests for password entry even when it has been enetered and stored. Hope all the above helps track this problem down.
