Re: need help on setting up thunderbird

Hello,

>From memory (so take it with a grain of salt), when Thunderbird asks
for a password to access a mail server for the first time, it proposes
to store it in order for the user to not have to enter his password
each time. But this storage is not mandatory. If the user choses to
enter his passord each time for security reasons, he thus may do it.

I would imagine that is somewhat similar to certain distros that
propose a desktop environment auto-login: that is not mandatory and the
user may chose to discard this feature if he considers it a security
risk

Cheers :-)
