Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I'm using Icedove to check and send mail with my Gmail account mail is
fetched via imap protocol and mail sent is done via smtp.googlemail.com.

I have saved my password for SMTP Auth in Icedove. Further on I've
changed password from Gmail.com's webmail interface. Henceforth I tried
sending mail with Gmail account but as old password was saved mail send
failed ... I was prompted to input my new password even though I input
new password and tried sending mails to Gmail mail sent failed saying
wrong password. This behavior continued until I have manually deleted
saved password for SMTP smtp.googlemail.com from:

Edit -> Preferences -> Security -> Passwords -> (Saved Passwords)
-> (Remove) on smtp.googlemail.com

In other words Icedove doesn't overwrite old password even though I
input the new one and ticked "Save Password" ...

Hope bug is resolved in future Icedove / Thunderbird releases.

Kindest Regards,
