Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Multiple email accounts are set up and a master password is set.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Open up icedove.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Master password is asked multiple times, regardless of whether I've answered
the password. However, icedove is able to log into my email accounts if I
answer the password correctly once.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Master password should only be asked once.

Hi,

Same issue here with icedove 38.7.0.
Password is asked 3 times for 5 accounts. Emails are retrieved when
master password is provided the first time.

Workaround:
Delete all saved passwords and wait for Icedove to ask them again.
